Welcome (I) (2007)
7/10
Really comic !
28 January 2024
Welcome 2007, welcomes you to the really funny world of underworld Mumbai, where the most feared gangster Uday is tensed reagrding his sibling's marriage. He despite being an underworld figure wants his sibling marriage to be arranged with a decent respectable and well to do family. In such a serious tone, the BGM with desi beats of 6 measure adds the hilarious sense. Uday trying his hand in acting despite being ruthless, Rajeev turning into an astrologer for a moment, Vijay Raaz as the fake director, are some of the memorable funny scenes of the film.

Sanjana, the sibling falls in love with Rajeev, and then the twist starts to unfold. Majnu, younger brother of Uday who is perhaps feared more than Uday clashes sourly with Rajeev's uncle. But within that serious tone of hooliganism, majnu aspires to be a painter who paints pictures in the middle of road, even creating traffic without any sense of civil life. That particular character through various ups and downs progresses hilariously throughout the film.

All these issues complicates further when Uday and Majnu falls for the same girl set up by Rajeev in order to deflect them away from their illegal businesses. When all these intertwines, then suddenly their boss RDX appears and this becomes further complex when RDX's son appears in the scene. I will stop here and urge you to watch it, to get a full funny scenario, with lots of masks getting unmasked, lots of fake drama getting real and vice-versa etc, which finally ends in reunion of the whole characters involved in a happy ending. My favorite funny scenes are that of Majnu vs Ghungroo. The statement 'Sirf naam Ghungroo hai mera lekin koi baja nahi sakta mujhe' still retains the fun flavor in 2024. There are many such kind of....

Welcome is really a comic film that intends to deliver a fun time with different types of funny traits all combined into one. It well succeeded in its attempt, though some songs were not needed I feel. The romantic songs weren't important, but of fun scenes. Some scenes were also not funny either rather serious but as a whole it is well made family watching funny film. A 71/100 based upon it's merits and flaws.
