After Welcome, Singh Is Kinng and No Problem, Anees Bazmee’s next comedy dhamaka is THANK YOU. Comedy is the frequent element in all these movies. Even Akshay Kumar is the common factor in WELCOME and THANK YOU.
The last time Akshay Kumar and Anees Bazmee paired up in 2008, the result was an hugely successful SINGH ISKIN NG. Now, after almost three years, their duo is back with THANK YOU, which is enormously inspired by Bazmee's own movie, NO ENTRY.
Raj (Bobby Deol), Vikram (Irrfan Khan) and Yogi (Suniel Shetty) treat their respective wives Sanjana (Sonam Kapoor), Karthika (Rimi Sen) and Radha (Celina Jaitley) as ghar ki murgi, dal barabar. Suspecting that her husband Raj is philandering, Sanjana hires the perpetually flute-playing private detective Kishan (Akshay Kumar), who promises to teach the three immoral husbands a lesson that they'll never forget.
Anees Bazmee fails to add newness in a plot which he already showcased in NO ENTRY. All that you get here is busty women, plentiful songs and unexciting sequences. It also propagates the 'Men are dogs' and 'Women are dumb' philosophies. While nothing noteworthy happens in the first half, the narrative gets slightly better post the interval. But just when you feel the end credits are about to roll, it starts dragging with Raj and Sanjana's spoilt relationship in focus. That's not all. It's followed by a tacky and expected flashback narrative of Akshay Kumar.

There are some indisputable funny scenes like when an intoxicated Raj bashes up a person wearing black hat in a pub, just because he spotted his wife Sanjana with man in a black hat. Vikram has a misconception that he knows women really well. It's hard not to laugh at his mastermind tricks and dialogues. Even the 'Kisna' scene in the first half is hilarious. However, they are far from a providing a satiating experience.
Pritam's music is lackluster. Ravi Yadav's cinematography is first-rate. Steven H. Bernard has edited the movie well.
Aneees Bazmee has handled Akshay Kumar in a very controlled manner. Akshay delivers an excellent performance, but offers nothing that we haven't seen him do before. Irrfan Khan, with a superb comic timing, is excellent. Suniel Shetty is passable. Bobby Deol is honest. As far as the ladies are concerned, Rimi Sen is stupendous; Sonam Kapoor acts badly, while Celina Jaitley (thankfully) gets no scope. Mallika Sherawat fails to impress in the Razia item number.
On the whole, it is worthy to watch for some humor.
