Bollywood Movie Thank You (2011)
Movie Full Plot Summary:
Raj, Yogi and Vikram - best friends, business partners, serial womanizers and happily married! Happy, because their lovely wives have no clue that their husbands cheat on them with every pretty young thing they can lay their eyes on. This picture perfect world is rocked when Raj's wife, Sanjana begins to suspect her husband and hires the suave private detective, Kishan, to tail him. Kishan's built his reputation as a man who saves marriages by getting erring husbands to mend their ways. In this particular case, however, his overwhelming attraction towards Sanjana means he may not be acting in her best interest! What follows is a crazy cat and mouse game, with Kishan trying to catch the husbands with their pants down literally and them attempting to just stay outside his grasp.
This Bollywood New Flick Tank You is an upcoming romantic comedy film directed by Anees Bazmee and produced by UTV Motion Pictures. It features AkshayKumar, Bobby Deol, Sonam Kapoor, Suniel Shetty, Irfan Khan, Celina Jaitley & Rimi Sen. The movie is slated for early 2011 April release. Some scenes in this film are being shot in Vancouver and Toronto, Canada & Bangkok. Sonam Kapur replaced Katrina Kaif since the director wanted to have a change with Akshay Kumar’s love interest.
Movie Review:
Anees Bazmee seems to be re-visiting familiar terrain with his new film. Thank You is heavily inspired by his earlier comic caper, No Entry, where Salman Khan had the onerous task of curing a motley group of errant husbands from their chronic infidelity. This time, it is Akshay Kumar who wields the baton — or is it the flute — to underscore the sanctity of the institution of marriage. Is this a case of playing safe for the director who has recently burned his hands at the box office or is it a drought of story ideas that seems to be Bollywood’s biggest scourge?
Repetition notwithstanding, Thank You ends up as timepass fare, although it isn’t as rollicking as No Entry. The first half of the film seems to be an exercise in nothingness and has you fidgeting in your seat as you try to look for the rare laughs in a script that is supposed to be funny. The bit-on-the-side sequences of the three husbands are hardly hilarious nor does the fuming wives club set the screen ablaze with hysteria.
It is only in the second half that the film acquires form and substance and has you grinning at certain goof-ups. Akshay Kumar’s elaborate plans to set the three marriages straight provides scope for actors like Irrfan Khan and Suneil Shetty to kick up a bit of fun, although Bobby Deol has hardly any humour tailored into his role. By and large, he remains dour and angry as he begins to suspect his sweet wife Sonam of adultery. The girls, on their part, mostly remain cosmetic with Sonam looking terribly out of sync, Rimmi not being allowed to play her feisty self and Celina being forced to do the disappearing act for a large part of the film.
So what’s funny about Thank You? It’s the guys who reiterate the worn-out cliche that fidelity isn’t an intrinsic part of male physiology. Add to this the high production values — glitzy locales, jazzy styling — and Pritam’s pop numbers and you have a film that can be an average weekend getaway. Nothing more, not even Mallika Sherawat’s item number.
