The Shaukeens

Cast:  Akshay Kumar, Anupam Kher,Annu Kapoor,Piyush Mishra,Lisa Haydon 
Director: Abhishek Sharma
Genre: Comedy


The most lukewarm movie of the weekend. Promises big, delivers pass time!



You may look forward to:

• Annu Kapoor, he is the the real star of the show. He is bachelor, colorful and a mischief :) His dialogues and his persona is worth this entire movie :)
• Anupam Kher and Piyush Mishra, were equal miscreants, what dampens their spirits over Annu Kapoor is that they are married :D
• Akshay Kumar was his usual self, crazy bullshit. Yet he is adorable, as usual :)
• Music is actually good. There are 3 songs which are already doing rounds

What you can sleep over:

Lisa Haydon. I expected a much better role from her specially after 'Queen'. Doesn't matter how small a role you do, you gotta be impressive. She was just lingering around the entire plot, giving out nuts alone



The dampeners you should be aware of:

This movie could have been so much better on the comedy aspect, when they already had the base plot ready from the old movie. The creative angle was completely missing. The directors job was to make the old Shaukeen look like the new age Shaukeens. How difficult is that given the plot fits into today's world much better than back in that era. Let down!




My Rating: 2.5/5
