'Mubarakan' Review: Anil Kapoor Steals The Spotlight, While Arjun, Athiya & Ileana Fail To Entertain

Jul 282017

When you know it's an Anees Bazmee movie, you automatically expect a few things. Of all things, there has to be a case of mistaken identity, one person helping the hero to get his girl, lots of confusion, loud music, and lastly, at least one wedding. Except for this time, you also have a twin brother situation.

The story is simple; Kartar Singh (Anil Kapoor) has got the responsibility of raising his two orphaned nephews. He gives one of his nephew Charan (Arjun Kapoor) to his brother (Pavan Malhotra) in Punjab, while gives Karan to his sister (Ratna Pathak Shah) in London. The problem starts when they meet, which ultimately leads to all the confusion.

This film looks like a fun sponsored trip for the whole cast by director Anees Bazmee. But the real question is: did the cast do justice to that fun element? Except Anil Kapoor, there is no one in the film who looks enthusiastic and entertaining. His energy is infectious and you love him in every frame. Putting it simply, one Anil Kapoor is enough to entertain you fully than the whole cast put together.

Other than Anil, it is Pavan Malhotra who keeps yelling throughout the film but you still end up liking him. He is actually good at this gimmick. Ratna Pathak Shah is amazing to watch and you enjoy her performance as well.

But other than that, the entire cast seems disinterested, just making screen presence for sake of the script. The whole cast tries their best to keep up with the twists and turns but fail miserably, leaving you frustrated at many points. After watching the film I just wonder who thought that making a film about twins whose identity got mixed was a good idea? And even if you did, why would you make it a 156 minutes film? Do you realise how stressful it might be to a viewer?

Arjun Kapoor plays a double role in the film and is so terrible that you got to say that he is the living example of nepotism. Neither Charan nor Karan make you laugh even once. But watching him on screen definitely increases your tolerance level. So half a star for that, Arjun!

Ileana fits her role and does a good job, while not the same can be said about Athiya Shetty. The girl totally needs to work on her acting!

Unlike 'Welcome' and 'No Entry', 'Mubarakan' fails to tickle your funnybone. This film is nowhere close to those films that the audience loved and enjoyed.

Well, watch this film wholly and solely for Anil Kapoor.

A Good Family Entertainer

The year 2017 hasn't started on a good note for Bollywood films. There is hardly a film that was released this year that could be called as a family entertainer. And for how long can we keep obsessing over 'Baahubali 2'? We hope 'Mubarakan' sets the record straight!

It is for the first time that we will get to see real life 'chacha-bhatija' Jodi of Anil Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor making an appearance on screen. They both portray the same relation even in the film, so it goes without saying that we will get to see their real chemistry and bond which makes us all excited to see Anil and Arjun together.

Anees Bazmee Is Known For Making Good Comedy Fims

From giving us films like 'No Entry', 'Welcome', 'Ready' and 'Singh is King', Anees Bazmee is one of those directors who surely knows how to tickle your funny bone. Every film he has made has been loved by the viewers, well you might not be a very big fan of his but he totally makes you laugh. And looking at the trailer of his latest film, it looks like Mubarakan will be a good watch too.

Anil Kapoor And Anees Bazmee's Hit Duo

Going by the track record, for every film that Anil and Anees has collaborated together, it has been loved by the viewers. How can one forget Anil Kapoor's character in 'No Entry' and 'Welcome'? You can watch these films anytime without getting bored. And now we can expect the same from this duo in 'Mubarakan' as well.

Double Role Hit Formula

It is a noted trend in Bollywood that we love a film where actors are seen in a double role. From 'Sita Aur Geeta', 'Chalbaaz' to 'Judwaa', every film has proven to win our hearts. In 'Mubarakan' too, Arjun Kapoor will be seen as Karanveer Singh and Charanveer Singh, giving us a double dose of him. Watch the trailer and it will be difficult for you to pick who is your favourite.

A Complete Package

Going by the trailers of the film, it wouldn't be wrong to say that the whole star-cast is all set to take your blues away and leave you in splits. From exotic locations, one liners, comic scenes of Anil Kapoor to songs, this film has every ingredient to prove to be a completely entertaining film.
