Loved it.Akshay kumar is a good actor...must watch

In all possibilities this is going to be a review which might not find many takers basically due to the new-age lifestyle we are now used to live in, keeping the heart at the last and many other things before that, ………..unfortunately.Plus it might not be a great review for the viewers who are now habitual of watching a movie taking it as an X, Y, Z Star's film above than anything else, with an already prepared mindset irrespective of its content matter or presentation.So accepting the criticism well in advance I would like to begin that though the film doesn't feature the animal friend as intensely as they did it in HAATHI MERE SAATHI (1971), TERI MEHARBANIYA (1985), MAA (1976/1992) or most importantly in HACHI (2009 – It will be a SIN to miss it). Still ENTERTAINMENT does offer few brilliantly shot emotional moments making you feel the value of this four legged best friend in your personal life, which many would readily agree to.Hence first of all it rightly deserves some brownie points both for its 10 minutes before the intermission as well as the climax giving you that emotional high as expected from a film talking about our animal friends. Particularly its well shot, pre interval 'under water' sequence deserves a special mention here which straight away reminded me of a similar one (not with the water) earlier seen in the Spanish masterpiece AMORES PERROS (2000). And honestly that was one of those scary, disturbing sequences I had ever seen, which didn't let me sleep well for a few days and kept haunting me repeatedly.Secondly other than the adorable dog, what really works in the film is its dialogue writing, which has enough comic punches to keep you in splits both in the first and second half consistently. Specifically the ones written for Krishna alone, incorporating the names of all famous film personalities in an innovative hilarious style, which frankly plays the major trick for the film most of the times.Thirdly the songs are not thrown every 10 minutes just like that and you don't mind watching the few with all that positive energy moving. Moreover 'Johny Johny' and 'Veerey Di Wedding' surely have that catchy compositions & beats required to play in the party sessions loudly. Plus the DOP captures it all beautifully and the background score doesn't overlap the sequences as mostly seen in such comic films.Now apart from the above, yes there is much absurd slapstick comedy in the film too which always has many distinctive reactions coming from the viewers. But thankfully this time the absurdity isn't completely flat and remains enjoyable at regular intervals basically due to the few leading good performances by the cast and their dialogues. In the flipside, the second half of the film drops majorly as the villain track doesn't work at all with an all forced in and clichéd plot having nothing much to offer. Rating the individual acts, Akshay Kumar once again proves that he still has got much comedy left in his funny acts & incomparable timing as seen before. But what actually makes his performance look so bright are two superb supporting acts from Johny Lever and Krishna. In fact I enjoyed watching Johny Bhai after a long time and truly feel that the actor deserves much more than he is offered by the industry people. Krishna in reality becomes the lifeline of ENERTAINMENT in the first half and its indeed a treat to watch him together with Akshay & Johny saying those skillfully written one-liners naming many key actors. As the leading lady Tamanna certainly does much better than her previous films and Mithun Da is fine as her father. In the supporting act, Dalip Tahil, Darshan Jariwala and Vrajesh Hirjee are just okay, whereas Riteish Deshmukh, Shreyas Talpade and Remo D'Souza entertain well in their respective cameos right in the beginning. Sadly Prakash Raj or Sonu Sood fail to make any kind of impact on the viewer with nothing exceptional and the wonderful JUNIOR lovingly proves to be the real hero of ENTERTAINMENT in the finale song sequence.Talking about the highly criticized illogical and silly plot of a dog becoming the owner of 3000 crores as per the will of an Indian millionaire living abroad, I would like to add (addressing many reputed reviewers here) that it seems to be the same ages old inferiority complex surfacing again somehow. Because if in a Hollywood film a cat can become the legal heir of a rich man and animals can talk with their doctor too without caring about any so called logic. Then why our Hindi films are laughed upon when they try to incorporate the same things with their hearts fitted in the right place.Anyway, I would like to admit that before going for ENTERTAINMENT I was really expecting something similar to a Sajid Khan movie reading the names of debut directors Sajid-Farhad in the credits, who earlier were associated with Rohit Shetty in many of his famous films. But the director duo really surprised me, especially with their enjoyable writing and fine handling of a risky subject, without falling down to anything vulgar or objectionable. The duo mostly keeps the humour all clean and entertaining throughout, which is sure going to be a major merit for the project keeping in mind its family audiences.Yet I would like to end with a clear conclusion that ENTERTAINMENT is certainly going to appeal more to the kids and the viewers who have experienced a life of several years lived with their beloved pets.

In comparison to Hollywood, Bollywood has had about a dozen movies where an animal has played a significant and important role, such as the internationally acclaimed movie Life of PI (tiger), the disaster Ajay Devgan movie Himmatwala (tiger), one of the biggest hit movies of that year Teri Meherebaniya (moti the dog), the hit movie Aankhen (monkey), Betaaj Badshah(cheetah), Doodh Ka Karz(a snake), Maa (dooby the dog), Coolie (Eagle), the blockbuster Nagina (snake), the blockbuster Hum Aapke Hai Koon(tuffy the dog), super-hit Maine Pyar Kiya (kabutar the dove), and of course the super-hit Haathi Meri Saathi(Ramu the elephant).So in 2014 we have Junior the dog in Entertainment. There is a famous saying: A DOG IS A MAN'S BEST FRIEND. This is well demonstrated and proved in this movie. Hope people of the east would take this to heart as in the western world in majority of cases domestic animals are well looked after in comparison to other parts of the world. Well acted by Junior the dog who truly deserves an award in comparison to the other characters in the movie. OK movie for the kids though some comedy may take time to digest. Hope in future Bollywood has more movies with animals playing important roles as evident the movies mentioned above and in majority of case have done well at the box-office.

Akshay Kumar is in top form after Holiday's Success. Entertainment will add icing on the cake for him. The movie actually doesn't belong to akshay kumar himself. It belongs to all the actors.watch out for one liners.Compared to other masala flicks like bodyguard, once upon a time in mumbai dobara etc.,Entertainment is way way better than all.Its a complete family entertainer with love of a dog as a backdrop. The movie is sure going to be a cult in the coming days because of its novel theme as there is every ingredient of a masala entertainer in it. Its complete no brainer.The reason i am going with 8/10 is because it will leave you entertained. Watch it with your friends or family.Its going to be sure shot fun.
