Featured reviews
A spoof is good when reality is twisted in a very obvious way. This movie demonstrates a complete lack understanding of Pakistan. Just for clarity, Pakistan is not like a Muslim ghetto in India.
There are many comedies made by misplacing characters in different geographical situations. This is absolute rubbish.

In The Movie Welcome 2 Karachi, The Actors Arshad and Jacky has done a good job but the story of the movie is really NONSENSE. The Movie is exaggerated so much that it should be given 0/10 Marks but due to the hard work of the actors and some good humor, I had to give it 4/10 marks. The Duo goes to the Indian consulate and even a very common guy is carrying a very heavy gun (Even Intelligence officer is not having that type of gun). The movie indirectly wants to say that almost every Pakistani is a criminal and everyone in Karachi is a terrorist. After that a war begins between the consulates of the rival countries. Jacky and Arshad are kidnapped in the movie while walking on the road. A Group of Pathans attack on Arshad for speaking Against Shahid KHAN Afridi (A Pakistani Cricket Superstar). Arshad Tries to steal a pizza but even in the Pizza Box, there are weapons. All These Things try to prove that There is no other thing in Pakistan but Weapons and Pakistanis don't have anything to do but terrorism. Apart from these things, the humor (as already said) was very good and the acting skills of Arshad and Jacky made me to give them a satisfactory marks of 4/10.If the film had a better story and if it had shown some reality about Pakistan and Karachi, the rating would be different. But Good Work by Arshad and Jacky.
'Welcome 2 Karachi' is a so-so comedy, that, despite a promising premise, isn't entirely convincing nor funny. Its a mixed-bag!
'Welcome 2 Karachi' Synopsis: Two good for nothing guys accidentally land up in Karachi, Pakistan & what follows is a series of unfortunate events.
'Welcome 2 Karachi' has some funny moments & they deserve credit for that. The first-hour is pretty fine, with the journey of its bumbling protagonists offering some good sequences. But, the film nosedives in its second-hour, which doesn't work. The narrative just falls flat. The jokes stop working & the culmination, is far from effective. In short, a lively first-hour manages some laughs, but the second-hour is entirely disappointing.
The Screenplay rides on a good premise, but it never makes much use of it. Ashish R Mohan's Direction is passable. Cinematography is eye-filling. Editing is ordinary. Music by Various Artists is energetic.
Performance-Wise: Arshad Warsi is in full goofy mode & he's mastered his comic-timing. Jackky Bhagnani puts in a sincere effort to leave an impression, but he succeeds only in parts. Lauren Gottlieb is strictly okay.
On the whole, 'Welcome 2 Karachi' is an okay watch.

Loved this movie, because it was very different from the run of the mill comedies that have slapstick humor and below the belt jokes. It was very 'decent' and hilarious. The second half was funnier than the first. Very creative story. Great acting by Arshad Warsi and Jacky Bhagnani. If you love to laugh and would like to watch a 'non-formula' movie - this is for you. The scenes during a cricket-match, in the courtroom, in an American prison etc. were very funny. Also, this movie was all about fun and showed no disrespect to anyone. Should have more movies like this one, with no run of the mill love stories, songs, violence and slapstick. It was original and fresh.
The movie plot makes no sense and the duration of the movie is a bit long above all Pakistani people are not all like that.
