National Treasure...fun ride...

The second national treasure(Book of Secrests) movie is a befitting sequel to the first one. This one too keeps you engrossed and pretty much involved in the search of treasure. This time Nicolas cage is in search of the city of gold in a bid to prove his ancestors were not involved in the death of Abraham Liccoln. He is accompanied again by Diane kruger, Justin and his father...the only addition this time being his mother. And like the first part he is being chased by a group of villians.

The movie is quite fast paced and unfolding of the sequence of events (noticeably kinapping of THE president of US and finding of the Book Of Seacrets) keeps you interested throughout the extragavanza. Nicolas Cage is excellent as usual and all other actors also join the party...All in All...though less adventurous than the previous installment.. this movie too has its moments and deserves a watch.

Welcome...a welcome comedy

After No Entry Anees bazmee comes back with another comic caper welcome. This time the product is not so good but is quite watchable. Anees bring anil, nana, paresh and akshay for the first time together and the results are great...

Welcome has a simple storyline with anil and nana (big dons of the city) searching for a sutiable sharif groom for their sister Sanjana(katrina). Number of hilarious situations arise during the search and ultimately there search ends on Akshay, whose Mama (Paresh Rawal) wants his nephew to be married to a sharif family.

Akshay is as usual brilliant in the comic act, although he seems to get repetitive and tired of his comic image. Nana is brilliant and anil also contributes to this hilarious ride. Katrina is more or less a showpiece and does her bit. All in all the all the stars do justice to their role. Mallika Sherawat also adds up to the spice of this masala flick..

Welcome also boasts of catchy music and some foot tapping numbers and overall this comedy clicks due to the brilliant chemistry and comic timing of the ensemble starcast.
