wogma rating: Switch channels if it's on cable (?)
quick review: One contrived situation follows another. Each scene outdoes the previous one in defying your belief in any kind of sense. No amount of good acting can help save the careless writing.

Plot Summary

Rajiv's (Akshay Kumar's) maternal uncle is looking for a match for Rajiv. Sanjana's (Katrina Kaif's) brother Don (Nana Patekar) is looking for a match for her. Rajiv and Sanjana fall in love with each other. Yet all is not well. What? How? Why? Got to sit through this one to find out.

What Worked

  • The effects used to transfer the fire on the picture frame to the auction hall in the first auction scene.

What did not

Note: This section simply lists the things that I did not like in this movie. This is not the overall impression about this movie. Please read the full review here

  • Several continuity jerks in the fire scene. Especially, the cuts between the mall and the function lawn were awful.
  • Why was Katrina Kaif acting all helpless in the fire when she was capable of saving herself and another man?
  • The shoddy use of digital effects - rockets, pigeons or bees.
  • Worst use of blue screen ever - the log house rocking at the edge of a cliff.
  • Why are Akshay Kumar and Nana Patekar attending the party of Welcome together, when the engagement has been called off?

urmilesh dixit:

Hey your reviews are beginning to look less and less like from "a part of the audience" and more and more like from a critic.

Just an observation, no offense meant.

None taken, Urmilesh!

Well, a critic is also a part of the audience, right?

welcome is such a boring comedy(or torture should i say" the movie was entirely predictable.. the climax of a dangling house was pathetic~~if you wanna see katrina kaif (well thats the onli reason you would wanna see) then only recommended

Kunal:

Hi,
One thing that strikes me in ur reviews is the titles u lend them. Like in this case, "Bad writing, worse execution". This is in sharp contrast with the very spirit of ur site, that is WITHOUT giving the movie away, which I believe is the single most pleasant aspect of ur writing.
With these titles though, u DO give away what ur review has to offer. It seems to sap that subtle sense of excitement. Doesn't it ???

meetu:

Hey Kunal :) It is hard enough not giving away the story of the movie...I couldn't possibly write a review without giving the review away :D

Jokes apart, the tagline is supposed to give a 5-10 word review, for those readers who don't want to read every precious word I have to say about the movie. Then there is the

Vipul Solanki:

I agree with Urmilesh.

Meetu, dont get offended. Urmilesh just wanted to say that the average audience likes entertaining movies even it doesnt have any intelectual value. Welcome is one such movie.

Critics mostly prefer and give ratings to movies with intelectual values. the ones with a message. like Munnabhai. Welcome doesnt have that. But still audience likes it.

You seems more like a critic than an Audience.

meetu:

Not really, Urmilesh. There are many sections in the audience. There are non-message movies that I have liked, Don, Honeymoon Travels, Bheja Fry to name a few.

No offense taken at all.
