Welcome is another comic caper movie for Akshay after his recent hits - Heyy Babyy and Bhool Bhulaiyaa. The director and story writer of the film Anees Bazmee has already proved his comic skills in the movies like Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004) and No Entry. Anees Bazmee’s last movie ‘No Entry’ starring Anil Kapoor and Lara Dutta was a blockbuster comedy movie in 2005.

This movie has continued the latest trend of shooting the bollywood films in the foreign locations. Welcome’s most of the shooting is done in Dubai (United Arab Emirates) and some parts in Lonawala (India). Let’s read a brief note on what the movie is all about.

Majnu (Anil Kapoor), Uday Shetty (Nana Patekar) and their boss, Sikander (Feroz Khan) are basically three Hong Kong-based serio-comic mobsters, who are keen to get their sister Sanjana (Katrina Kaif) married into a respectable family.

Once Uday accidentally meets the handsome bachelor Rajiv (Akshay Kumar) and get convinced that he would be an appropriate match for Sanjana. However, Rajiv's uncle, Dr. Ghunghroo (Paresh Rawal) disapproves of Uday's association with a dubious family.

Meanwhile, Sanjana meets Rajiv on a cruise and they fall in love. She was totally unaware of her brother's plans. She has the acceptance of Dr. Ghunghroo, who is unaware of the fact that she is the sister of the mafia. When Dr. Ghunghroo realizes his faux pas, he tries to escape the fury of the brothers.

This fall-down funny comedy takes another turn when a stunning bomb (Mallika Sherawat) who claims to be Rajiv’s fiancée shows up on the scene and adds to the hullabaloo and chaos.

We all hope that this movie will again be a big hit for Akshay. Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif had already worked together in Namaste London. The movie ‘Welcome’ is releasing on the same day December 21, 2007 with Aamir Khan’s directorial debut Tare Zameen Par and Rajkumar Santoshi’s Halla Bol.
