Anil Kapoor admits facing hurdles during ‘Welcome Back’ shoot

They work because of the utmost sincerity shown by the veteran brigade comprising Naseeruddin Shah, Nana Patekar, Paresh Rawal and Anil Kapoor. Share your views and stay tuned for latest updates of Phantom, The Movie.

The event was the special screening of the comedy movie “Welcome Back”. The same as the performance of Deepak Dobriyal aka Pappi in Tanu Weds Manu Returns. From making fun of disability to a sequence in the graveyard, Bazmee injects all his strengths and the end result is much better than his last three interjections – Ready, Thank You and No Problem. After watching the magnum opus Baahubali, everyone is well aware about the VFX, which is not so impressive in Welcome Back.

Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar are still unmarried and up to knotty troubles all the time. They are enamoured by a fake princess (Ankita Shrivastav) and her mother (Dimple Kapadia).

The two ex-gangsters are desperate to get hitched, but a sister, Ranjana (Shruti Haasan), materialize out of the blue and thwarts their intentions. Post-intermission, the Ahuja and Shah track accompanied with some of the worst CGI effects seen in recent Hindi movies, slows the film down.

The maharani sets a condition: her daughter will not Wednesday until Uday’s sister is married off. So the ex-gangsters go scurrying in search of a match for the girl. Now, a search to find a suitable husband for Ranjana starts. “The sequel is aptly titled ‘Welcome Back” and reprises the previous casts of Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar and Paresh Rawal whose “bhai” avatar became famous. In an exclusive interaction with Zee News, the stars revealed about their character from the film. John has his limitations when it comes to loud comedies, but he doesn’t have to do much.Shruti Haasan is expected to pout and preen in the man’s world and she does the needful. Rest all the supporting characters have played well.

The script, written by Anees Bazmee, Rajiv Kaul and Raaj Shaandilyaa, though treading on tested grounds which make the saga familiar, has freshness in terms of its gags. For a movie that unabashedly plays to the galleries, the music is quite unmemorable. “Welcome Back” is sporadically amusing, one that ebbs and flows; but it just about passes the “guilty pleasure” test thanks to Kapoor and Patekar.
