Critics Say No Thanks to ‘Thank You’
Unfaithful husbands, wives who are trying to win their husbands back, and clichés about marriage and fidelity: these familiar ingredients of many Hindi films are yet again employed in director Anees Bazmee’s “Thank You,” which opened Friday. The film’s story is pretty similar to the plot of Mr. Bazmee’s 2005 film “No Entry,” which also revolved around three friends who were less than ideal husbands, and which ended with tiresome scenes of the three men realizing the importance of marriage and relationships.
Well, here we go again. “Thank You” is a comedy about three men, played by Bobby Deol, Suniel Shetty and Irrfan Khan, who are cheating on their wives, played by Sonam Kapoor, Celina Jaitely and Rimi Sen. In comes a private detective, played by Akshay Kumar, to teach the husbands a lesson.
On the performance front, while the leading men were dry in their effort to be funny, Ms. Kazmi thought the ladies “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”.
Thank You – Official Trailer
Something tells me that this film would be a huge hit here in the U.S., do you agree? Unfortunately, the film portrays the true lives of many of my married friends. Business as usual folks.
I have to admit, I can relate to this film in more ways than one and I find it quite funny and entertaining! Also, the women in this film are drop dead gorgeous and make American actresses look plain/average in comparison.
I say NO ‘Thank You’ to the critics for their reviews regarding this film thank you very much!
