***Note If you haven’t seen it but want to then this might reveal the not so great/suspense story.
- I watched this movie with friends last night - I was bored and had nothing to do so I kind of enjoyed the funny moments but the movie wasn’t great to be honest…its just a one time watch time pass. Watch it any where if the print is good it’ll be the same, not worth spending $.*
Thank You is a farce from the word go, there is nothing funny about the film except for some juvenile dialogues; it all depends on which mood you watch the movie. If you are blessed with very little sense of humour you’d laugh at this adult comedy but otherwise watch this drab story which is a rehash of Three telugu films with a poker face.
Anees Bazmee has no clue if the wives are sympathetic, sorry, forgiving, shameless in accepting their repentant husbands back or why would he show the women to be so regressive? Which woman would slash her wrists and die if she catches her husband in a romantic dalliance with an other woman? The husband now realizing what he’d lost vows to teach all philandering husbands a lesson and re-unite their families.
All the women are stinking rich, live in huge places and have nothing else to do except love their husbands. One of them dances to his whims and fancies and makes tea at 3 in the morning, she gets a voice and her hubby loses his only when she successfully cheats and transfers his property onto her name. Moral of the story is any woman will raise her voice only if she has a solid security behind, otherwise she is willing to be tortured, hit by him even with a belt. The husband here is Irrfan Khan, he is cool, funny and funnily cruel and the best lines in the film are reserved for him.
The other lady is an anorexic looking Sonam Kapoor who revels in fasting for the Karva Chauth despite separating, she is in a role conflict; she loves her husband and hopes to rehabilitate him with the help of Akshya Kumar, some day. She doesn’t have a variety of emotions to display like she did with Ayesha, here she is confined to weeping and looking shocked.
Celina Jaitly is the one who is the underutilized out of the three and is thoroughly wasted. The movie shows that men can get away with anything and can undo the damage by just hugging the wife, the women are emotional, gullible fools in the film who are willing to give the marriage a second and third try despite finding them in bed with someone else.
Akshay Kumar doesn’t get to show his physical prowess here, instead he dons a hat and a flute and makes women follow him like the Pied Piper. Bobby Deol, Suniel Shetty have each exactly a moment of brilliance especially the latter when he explains to Irrfan Khan as to how a woman maintains a distance between a friend and a boy friend.
The most nonsensical part of the film is towards the end when Akshay Kumar is asked to reveal his past and he comes out with a super sob story that will make you run towards the exit door. The film has only two things going on, the men are straying and women are weeping over Akshay Kumar’s shoulder for help. Wonder what Vidya Balan planned to do in this multi-starrer filled with cacaphony and nonsense.
Like mentioned above, Thank You is not for people who value their time and money, it’s for those who laugh at every silly joke and silly expression.
