WELCOME is a funny move. It succeeds it tickling your funny bone, but director Anees Bazmee stretches the joke too far. He overshoots by almost half an hour! Here in lies the tragedy of this fun flick which boasts of a solid ensemble cast.

With Paresh Rawal, Nana Patekar, Akshay Kumar, Anil Kapoor you cannot go wrong. All are talented actors with years of experience behind them. And it is this, what saves WELCOME. There are a lot of laugh moments with well-timed comedy between the four-named stars. But when it comes to say “CUT” Bazmee falters.
