The much anticipated film of the season, Ready, has at last hit theaters. A remake of superhit Telugu movie by the same name, Ready is a typical commercial cinema packed with comedy and masala.

The story of the movie revolves around happy-go-lucky Prem (Salman Khan), who is the most eligible bachelor living in an extended joint family and Sanjana (Asin), an orphan, who stay with her evil maternal uncles, Narendra and Tulsi. Her maamas are always plotting to steal away her ancestral assets, by persuading her to marry either of their brother in-laws. However, Sanjana sniffs their intentions.

Prem and Sanjana, fall in love, and the duo plans on teaching a good lesson to the maamas. What follows is complete comical chaos… How Prem marries Sanjana, thus making her uncles realize their mistakes is the rest of the story. In brief, the movie revolves around how he unites the families of the girl and himself.

Bameez maintains his trademark, loud comedy, over-the-top acts and stupid humor. The second half of the film is when the actual story starts. The first half had a few scenes changed from the original film, thus giving the much needed mass masala to Salman fans.

However, Paresh Rawal’s character was bust, though he was great in whatever he did. Bazmee failed to realize that in the original film (Ready in Telugu) this character is the heart and soul of the movie. There are a few offensive jokes, which were not really required.

Salman lived up to infusing life into the film. His mind blowing screen charisma is simply excellent!!! His sense of humor and the dance moves are the highlight of the movie. Coming to Asin is superb actress that she is, did the magic. The duo’s on screen chemistry is miraculous.

The songs of film, ‘Character Dheela’ and ‘Dhnka Chika’ stole the show. Devi Sri Prasad Bollywood debut with his Dhinka Chika is the new tune of B town. Preetam’s music, needless to mention, mind blowing. Sajid-Farhad’s dialogues worked very well, enriching the humor. Sunil Patel’s cinematography is spot on. After a disastrous ‘Thank You’, ‘Ready’ sees director Anees Bazmee, back with a hit.

On the whole, it is a full time entertainer with full on family drama.
