Randomly I think of Radheyshyam Tiwari saying these things:

1. Arey tumhare sar mein bheja hai ki bhajiya hai?!

2. OH OH VIDEOCON! ye iss cd player ki laash lekar jao

3. Apni nahi, meri Mrs. Hai! Hamara joint account nahi hai

4. CHUP KAR BHIKARI!!!!

Welcome back is the worst sequel ever for several reasons but the one that irks me the most is that they took a movie like welcome, whose charm lied in the fact that these were people in bizzare situation acting just the right mix of normal and weird that seemed appropriate yet funny, to an over the top caricaturish just another watch and forget bad movies that John has lately made a name for.

I mean, firstly they go and replace the MC . Yes, I know the most memorable ones of the movie were Nana and Anil, but I think people forgot that the MC was still Rajeev, the guy who was the link tying the normalcy and fear of Ghungru to the incredible mafia life of his BILs, he was still the normal guy holding his ground perfectly in such a flambouyant situation (and Kudos to Akshay for playing the role so brilliantly that even though he was the underdog of the film, he still made his mark as the MC with what he was given) and while that might have seemed a given at first, when welcome back introduces Ajju bhai (yuck) you realise all over that Rajeev truly was one of the main components of the film, neatly joining the mundane with outlandish. Same with Sanjana tbh. I won't go out and say Katrina is a great actress, but the way she portrayed a sweet and somewhat light headed Sanjana despite the circumstances that surrounded her, that is memorable still. I mean, if Katrina seems like a better actress than Shruti Hassan, you know you doing shit wrong😶‍🌫️

And I mean, this argument can be used overall all the replaced characters. Feroz Khan as a gullible don seemed lot more funny than the tried and repeated formula of an Idiot , dramatic don portrayed by Nasruddin. Shiney Ahuja instead of Lucky was an eyesore tbh. The girl who took over Malika's role seemed to lack the wit and charm with which Ishika duped everyone, her scheming was shown a lot more often to be actually as smooth as Isha's.

All in all, bad character replacement. In case of Rajeev to Ajay, bad actor replacement aswell.

Secondly, its the script itself. It sucks, the scenes suck, the dialogues suck, the idea itself sucks. All the good scenes I remember were all references , fucking references either to welcome 1 or other Nana's and Anil's movies. Imagine making a movie so bad that Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, Nasruddin Shah, Rajpal Yadav TOGETHER cannot save it and then going ahead and removing Akshay Kumar aswell💀

Just look at the stuff. Lucky’s replacement is more one dimensional than lucky despite having more scenes, Ajay and Anjana’s Chemistry is so bleh when you compare it to how cute and wholesome Rajeev and Sanjana were, Uday and Majnu are stupid enough to fight over the same girl for a second fucking time. Uday and Majnu don’t feel like Uday and Majnu; both were gullible enough and shown powerful, here they are SCARED OF HIDING A DEAD BODY YOU GUYS ARE FUCKING GANGSTERS HELLO?!?!

Thirdly and finally, expanding on the script thingie, the acting that it required from the actors is not what welcome was about.

Like I pointed out, Welcome was a comedy that was absolutely absurd, but what made the charm for me was how rationally everyone was overreacting (how is that any making sense? Lmao). It was how Nana laughed after Majnu got insulted on call, my man looking much less angry than someone who threw someone off a yatch, ready to punch Rajeev after Lucky was presumably killed. Anil Kapoor hogging a road on gunpoint and painting like, idk, a normal person? A don that doesn’t give a fuck? That ek tang nakli guy just being there for plays and it Nana Patekar just keeping him being so funny? Akshay Kumar being rightfully frustrated in situations so, so funky that it feels so wrong yet so right at the same time.

Basically, you get the point, right? The comedic sounds and overracting was limited, they let the comedy sink in and never forced it (example, the ghode gadhe waali painting) The movie was not off the hinges, just barely holding onto them. People acting weird with body language but sane with speaking (mostly), ya must be getting it I hope

Now replace that with a generic off the hinges over acting film, where the comedy is so forced that you just cannot laugh because its that unfunny. The actors are phenomenal, well ‘cept John and Shiney, so and made the last movie so good. Welcome back relied and was banking on Welcome so bad but it lacked the movie’s very essence. Who will like it? What were they thinking making it? Why?

So yeah, tldr: Welcome back sucks and Welcome has no sequel.

This post was made by Welcome is my favourite movie ever gang
