  unknown-king212014-08-09

  Reviewers look for soft targets like this type of movies to show their 'critics' writing skills. nothing matters if people in theater are laughing, this is what the film intends. Leave the einstein inside you outside the theater, and you will enjoy it. This movie wastes no time to get funny, right from 1st minute. 1st half is simply hilarious. I agree comedy quotient goes down in 2nd half, but drama at end is good. Akshay is good as always. Johny lever, krushna, tamannah all does well too. Music is awesome. specially tera naam doon in opening credits. Johny Johny is excellent. On the whole, it could have been better, but i leave theatre satisfied. Don't miss end credits !!!

• Akshay's recent black comedy film after Garam mas ala, Deewane huye paagal and Bhaagam bhaag

  It's Entertainment is for all black comedy film lovers and I am sure you wont get disappointed. If anyone says they didn't like this movie, it clearly states that they didn't get this movie and its dialogues. Black comedy is not for all people, only a few get it in right way. Frankly speaking, I didn't like Rowdy rathore as I watched the original Telugu version Vikramarkudu and liked it so much than its remake. Later, though Holiday is a remake of Tamil movie, Akshay did a decent job in it. But when you come to Its entertainment movie, it's totally different in all ways. It really entertains you from start to finish except a few minutes in second half. Dialogues are intelligently penned with good comic timing. Cinematography is really good. Some are comparing this movie with no-brainer Humshakals which I strongly disagree with them. This movie is worth a watch and is the best comedy movie in recent times after Garam mas ala, Deewane huye paagal and Bhaagam bhaag. Akshay's comedy timing is best after a long time. Jonny lever is hilarious in his role of Habibullah. Krishna's dialogues will give you lol moments with his mix of movies characters and its names in his casual conversation. Soonu sood and prakash raj (villians) are like karan-arjun who hugs each other after remembering their late mother's words and in the background, the song played is 'Sooraj Kab Door Gagan Se' from the same film. Dog is well-trained but it would have been better. This movie coveys a strong message to treat animals with love and get back same in return. Turn off your logic minds, sit back and enjoy this hilarious comedy punch film. My rating is 10/10 as a black-comedy film lover.

• It Entertains you thoroughly

  The movie doesn't wish to remain subtle anywhere, right from the start it is explicit and out and out. the humour is simple and does not depend on random new age dialogues. What i liked was the directors intent to remain in their own domain of comedy cinema. Some scenes are so funny that you may add them to your all time favourite. The movie doesn't want to address the Hollywood type of humour appetite of many, but remains true to the bollywood style humour that we all have cherished since the last three decades. the performances are brilliant owing to casting of some bollywood stalwarts. Nothing in this movie disappoints me and this was the kind of film that i was looking for since a long time. entertainment is different from the disastrous Humshakals in many ways, humshakals lacked the connect and tried to be new aged while entertainment is all the way a more dramatic and outrageous comedy.

• Love your animals because they will give the most ENTERTAINMENT. Akshay at his comic best, a ROARING comedy!!!

  Akhil (akshay) is a common man struggling to make ends meet because his father (darshan) is hospitalized. But Akhil is shocked to hear that his real father is the diamond merchant Pannalal (dalip tahil) based in Bangkok. Twist occurs when Pannalal dies and Akhil goes to Bangkok to claim his inheritance. The entire fortune is written on the name of 'Entertainment'- Pannalal's pet dog. What happens from there forms the rest. The director has come up with a whacky storyline and while the presentation was rich, the narrative was great. The dialogues were well written and full of entertainment. The script was okay but the screenplay added amazing energy. The background score was melodious and three songs were worth watching. Cinematography was the main strength to this film. Editing was good. Costumes were well designed to suit the royalty while the art department was majestic. Akshay Kumar delivers yet another cracker with his performance, his comic timing is great, and he proves why he is one of best actor we have today. Tamannah is not just beautiful but has a very seductive appeal in her which is hard to resist. Krishna Abhishek was superb, Johnny Lever was outstanding. Prakash Raj and Sonu Sood have amazing chemistry, and bring the houses with there karan-arjun act. The cameos by other celebrities were effective. The golden retriever Junior named Entertainment in the film is the scene stealer though he proves that every dog has his day. It is not often that one gets to see the man-animal flicks and that too in Indian cinema but this one was a brave and a good attempt. The first half revolves around the elements of comedy, romance and some hilarious moments. Even the interval bang was exciting. The second half gets a bit sentimental but the scenes work and make you moisted eyed.The last thirty minutes picks up and brings back the energy, comedy and ample laughter. Overall, this is a film which is meant for entertainment seeking audience, the film has ample laughter, some emotion, great music, and above all the film has an an amazing dog and great message that love your animals because they give you the best ENTERTAINMENT. A must watch

  What makes ENTERTAINMENT attention-grabbing -- besides its distinctive storyline -- is the fact that it is helmed by Sajid-Farhad, who have penned several laughathons in the past. Naturally, one expects their directorial debut to be a rib-tickling entertainer. There's one more reason -- Akshay Kumar. The actor, synonymous with comedies, has a terrific comic timing and with a title like ENTERTAINMENT, the film ought to live up to those lofty expectations, right? Does ENTERTAINMENT hit the right notes? Let's find out! On the whole, ENTERTAINMENT is a joy ride that lives up to its title. Go, laugh out loud and get entertained!
