A user pointed out that the role of the 'pandit' is played by Mahesh Mishra. As per the user, earlier this had been wrongly credited as Mahesh Manjhrekar. The latter is indeed the famous producer, director and actor, who had directed the Sanjay Dutt starrer Vaastav. Now, coming back to the artist playing the 'pandit' role in Welcome, he is not Mahesh Mishra as pointed out by the user and as added in the cast list. He is in fact Sanjay Mishra, the comedian who played in films like Bunty Aur Babli, One Two Three (Pintos), Golmaal Returns (Subodh SMS), Apna Sapna Money Money (Pandit Sarju Maharaj), Aloo Chaat (Chhadaami Mama) etc.. So moderators please verify and rectify the error.

This film i went especially to see in star city and it definitely was not a waste. This film was brilliant in everything that it had tried to achieve. When i first saw who was in it and the sort of plot line and who is was made by and stuff i thought it would be funny and a good film. When i came out of the screen i had not only confirmed my predictions but realised this was a splitting your sides funny and an excellent film. Katrina Kaif cannot act for dog biscuits and the song Koka Laka Valari was a bit stupid but besides that it was amazing. It was nice to see Malika wearing normal clothes for once and even 2 saris i mean that is brilliant even for her. She looked very nice and that item song by malika arora khan was good and i specially liked the song kiya kiya. Feroz khan was good in this movie and Nana Pateka and Anil Kapoor made me laugh so much. I loved the ending when Lucky jumped out the fire and Akshay Kumar started screaming "Miracle Miracle" lol and when Paresh rawal's wife came and Feroz khan was like wtf is she doing here? and stuff it really was an amazing movie and a brilliant end to the year and start if you saw it after new years.

After Andaz apna apna...its a welcome non-stop entertainer film..Plus points: Excellent performance by Nana-Anil-Paresh...Katrina-Akki average performance...its like the director ignored superstar akshay kumar.....Malika, Froze and other supporting were okay...good dialogues specially Nana and Anil's line...good music and background music,direction and song picturizations Minues points: Weak climax and poor editing i was expecting more from akshay...his role was similar to Jaaneman (as a nerd)..the director should give Katrina opportunity to act..10/8 overall worth-watching film family and friends akshay did say to leave our brain at home but there are two things I need to point out like: When RDX son lucky is hit by bullet how come his still alive? I thought Paresh runs hospital then how come his also running a store?

The latest in the inspired comedy series is this laugh riot which is full of stars. The basic plot is inspired from the Hugh Grant movie "Mickey Blue Eyes" (1999). Even the hero's profession is kept same as an art house auctioneer. But then the script takes on indianized plots and tries to make you laugh through comic sequences. No doubt the promotional packaging was superb which surely gave the movie a big initial draw at the cinema houses. But the content is rather not impressive and its like several comedy sequences joined together. The focus of the screenplay keeps shifting from one plot to another. The biggest disappointment is that it has less of Akshay and the viewer keeps waiting for the scenes with his brilliant timing. There is more of Anil Kapoor & Nana Patekar as two dons. Nana is kind of same with his expected mannerisms but Anil is superb and acts like he is enjoying every minute of his act. He even looks a lot younger than his age. Feroz Khan looks graceful but is loud at some scenes. He has more scenes in the climax of the movie and is also introduced after the interval. The heroines are only there for the glamour quotient of the movie and could not ask for more in this heavy star cast movie. The first half of the movie has many unwanted sequences which are only inserted to create laughter and have nothing to do with the screenplay. But the film gains momentum in the second half when Vijay Raaz enters as a phony film director. In fact in my opinion this plot of making Nana an actor in a fake film should have been the highlight of the movie, which could create more laughter's in the cinema. The songs are all inserted as usual and only few are hummable. The best part of the movie comes towards the climax after Katrina accidentally shoots the son of Feroz Khan. The chase and the play with the dead body afterwards is surely hilarious. It is the main highlight of the movie as you get to see some quality comedy scenes and timing in this. In all the film is not as expected but still will brings audiences to the cinemas due to the superb promotional packaging, immensely popular catchy title song "Welcome" and due to the current hot thing in Bollywood – Akshay Kumar.
