What can I say about "Welcome!" ( I added the exclamation mark at the end because it fit so well) other than the fact that it rocked my socks off. It was hilarious, and yes, silly hilarious. Yet I know that it would not have been so entertaining if it weren't for the brilliant actors (Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar were amazing) and pretty good songs. Anyways, it would take a lot of talent to explain the plot to anyone because it's one of those chaotic slapstick comedies that you just have to check out for yourself, and only watch once. But in a nutshell, it is about this really decent man (Paresh Rawal tearing it up as the timid doctor) that would like his decent nephew, Rajiv (Akshay Kumar) to get married. Now comes in the hot Katrina Keif (who cares what her name was?) who, after a medley of hilarious situations, falls in love with Rajiv. There's only one problem with this, her brothers are big shots in the underworld…and are not very modest. "Welcome" is welcoming if you allow yourself to be invited. Don't go watching it with expectations that it will be the cleverest and most sophisticated movie you will see…and when it's not, don't restrict yourself from laughing away to glory

If Anees Bazme had set out to make a load of crap, he has succeeded brilliantly. 'Welcome' probably has one of the best star cast seen in 2007. But all have been wasted without regard on a script that is worse than what kindergarten kids come up with.It is a wonder that still some people, other than Feroze Khan himself, want to cast him in their films. Thankfully, he does not have much screen time. But even he seemed much more bearable compared to the rest of the mindless proceedings of the film. I hardly understood some of the song lyrics. I guess it was intended to just add to the crap. Not much to write about, but hope this sounds a warning bell to Akshay Kumar. He has an excellent sense of comic timing. But he is getting boringly repetitive. If he does not want to end up like Govinda, it is high time he looked seriously at his work profile.

The comedy used in this movie is similar to that of a comical play. A lot of situations are exaggerated and never would happen in real life. A lot of the time some situations don't make sense at all. Problems are created and if you think about it are no problem at all. This is done on purpose, purely to entertain. So someone saying that this movie isn't realistic is missing the point. The actors know that the story has to be taken lightly. The structure of the movie can be confusing. But that can be blamed on the director. From what I understand that this is his first project. But I must say for that he did quite OK. Even when the direction could have been better the actors do make up for that fact. Overall this is a nice little comedy that will grow on you and is purely fun.

Paresh Rawal is Akshay Kumar's uncle...He is searching for a bride from a really good and respected family for him...Nana Patekar is a big time gangster...Anil Kapoor is his right hand and Katrina Kaif is Nana's sister...Now Nana is also looking for a bridegroom from a really good and respected family for Katrina's marriage...Nana Patekar has met almost every bridegroom in the town but no one is ready to marry a don's sister..Katrina and Akshay meet in a shopping mall where Katrina saves Akshay from the fire in the mall...Akshay cant stop thinking about her now...They start meeting quite often and fall in love...Akshay meets Nana and tells him about his uncle and aunt...Nana tells Akshay to get them to a party...When Paresh sees Nana he is shocked..Now he doesn't want Akshay to marry a don's sister..So on the day of engagement, Paresh sets up a drama to break the engagement...Mallika Sherawat acts as Akshay's wife and causes a lot of confusion in the engagement party...Feroze Khan who is a bigger don compared to Nana Patekar, would have come from Italy to attend the function. Looking at the drama taking place, he orders that the engagement cannot take place..Everyone are unhappy except Paresh..After a long discussion with Akshay,he puts across a challenge telling if Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor leave their current profession and become respectable individuals, then Katrina and Akshay can marry...So the task of fulfilling the challenge begins and it also succeeds and finally Akshay and Katrina get married...Overall the songs are horrible...The movie is worth watching at least once...I give it 6/10
