ENTERTAINMENT : Its like a standup comedy show with visual graphics. As loud.
CONFESSION– I enjoyed this full over the top superbly hammed AKSHAY KUMAR performance in ENTERTAINMENT. And the halls were full on day 3 tooThe movie trailer and the star cast did not mislead the audience. You knew what you were getting into when you bought the ticket.. And hence should have no regrets.
For the Audience ( include me ) fed on the weekly diet of now fermenting ‘COMEDY WITH KAPIL’ on COLORS, there is not much to find fault with ‘COMEDY WITH ASKHAY AND A DOG’. Possibly AJAY DEVGAN ‘SHINGHAM’ releasing on 15th August – the possible BIG SUTALI BOMB before DIWALI capturing most of the single screen, is going to play spoil sport to this NO BRAIN , SLAPSTICK, SITUATIONAL GAG led comedy. Entertainment surely will have a huge run as TV releases after making decent money in Box Office. Picture like this- count GOLMAAL RETURNS, READY and HOUSEFUL- do well on TV.
Yes, the dialogues are corny. And some of them are way below the belt in their desire to be humorous. Yet, they were making people laugh and repeat them after the act. But, then the critics most likely will have other explanation for the wave of laughter rippling through the theatre. AUDIENCE SEEM TO LOVE THIS CORNIEST of dialogues and this is not the front row of a single screen theatre. The only time Entertainment deviated from being completely family show- is when many a man held to their private parts to protect or in pain.
The Golden Retriver – from his name the film borrows the title ENTERTAINMENT- inherits 3000 crore from AKSHAY KUMARS father DALIP TAHIL. Akshay is DNA- DADDY KI NAZAYAZ ALLAUD. For him to be the WARRIS ( inheritor) Entertainment must die. He plans to kill entertainment and fails. (critics may believe otherwise). During one such attempts Akshay hinself is in danger of dieing and Entertainment saves him. Akshay now no longer grudges entertainment.
The movie could have been complete here but then we are bound to some 3 hour shit and the script writers introduce Dalip Tahil second cousin

PRAKASH RAJ and SONU SOOD to fill the time available. They come out of prison and fraudulently get a court verdict in their favour. The 3000 crore now belong to them. . Rest of the film Akshay and Entertainment try entertaining the crowd in trying to get the wealth back and make the two comeback cousins fight each other.
KRUSHNA ABHISHEKH plays side kick to Akshay. He is a dear friend and owner of a DVD LIBRARY and hence justified in expressing everything using film titles and name of film personalities. Initial part brings laughter and then you start expecting it to give you a reason to laugh, but it only manages to get you to politely laugh.
Oh by the way there is a heroine too. Some TAMANNAH BHATIA. May future casting directors better keep this dead piece of no beauty away from screen. Her father- Mithun Da wasted in his role will only marry her to a Millionaire. JOHNY LEVER is not able to get anything moving but few of his antics and the play with his name ( HABIBULLAHA does evoke few laughters.
Now what about AKSHAY- he continues in his recent film style- where the film is completely his. Shouts. Kicks. Smiles that crooked style. Walks and talk like he has been doing for a long time. No surprise. Not that the directors or the plot challenge him.
Direction is pathetic. Dialogues- less spoken the better. Songs- listless. Heroine- Dead like Egyptian mummy. Comedian- forced. Side cast- wasted. YET THE MOVIE IS A ONE TIME WATCH.
