Welcome Back ! Nothing much has changed since

You have been welcomed back to a classic slapstick comedy, but hey! I was a bit surprised by the script, it is almost the replica of the first, with an identical plot. I understand this was a sequel but it just feels like 2 versions of the same movie made with minor differences. The dialogues, one-liners and the comic timing of Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar  makeup for the trite script to some extent.

Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar & Paresh Rawal are ofcourse the only highlights. When all elements being the same, they aren’t any better or worse than before, except the noticeable weight loss of Paresh Rawal.  John Abraham fails to create the Akshay Kumar effect and Shruthi Hassan is the most dispensable, not just because she had to only dance a little bit and say a few lines. You can completely ignore the lead pair in this movie.  Dimple Kapadia has been wasted in the movie, a strong actress like her could have had perhaps a meatier/funnier role. I must compliment her dress designer though and I really wished she could have shared it with Shruthi Hasan. I wonder what went wrong with Shruthi Hassan, I understand a movie like this didn’t give her scope to act but she was really way off with her dresses, both garish and out-of- date.

Nasserudin Shah is the Villain in this sequel with idiosyncrasies injected in to his character (including physical) to get the audiences to laugh. The graveyard scene is the most comical and the only saving grace to this movie. The movie gives you a few laughs and well if that’s all you are looking to do, it’s not a bad idea to watch it
