    Akshay Kumar’s ‘Entertainment’ misses the point entirely : it is dull and loud, with a brow so lowered that it reaches the floor.

    Even if a film is not a great piece of art, it should be entertaining. This one fails in both aspects.

    There’s no story, no script and the worst CG ever, but there may be a chuckle or two. Perhaps that’s you laughing at yourself for having to lead such a dog’s life for 140 minutes to be precise.

  • Sajid-Farhad’s first film is mostly a garrulous, occasionally comical farce that intermittently serves as reminder that in the search of “entertainment, entertainment, entertainment” one can always rely on the delightfully loony Johnny Lever. Entertainment is best when it isn’t trying to force laughs out of us with its desperate attempts at wit…

  • If this is entertainment, what, pray, is torture? Run for cover.

    The dog scores over the rest of the cast because the animal does not have any dialogue to deliver nor any song to swing to.

    Don’t go by the title, it’s sure called Entertainment but only if that was enough!

  • Entertainment is a painful exercise to sit through and when a cute retriever with all the fuzziness cannot retrieve you from boredom, blame it on the film. Akshay Kumar was almost as bad as his Once Upon Aye Time In Mumbaai Dobaara performance, and that says it all I am sure. I am going with a very kind 1/5 for the film and it’s a gift from a dog lover to all the dogs who appeared in the film.

    As for the rest of the Entertainment team, filmmaking isn’t as trivial as they think it is. Slog for it in their next film and probably then there will be some stars for them. As an afterthought, my fraternity will agree, we live a dog’s life tormented by films like this.

    Entertainment is a bagful of boring tricks…The world as they say has really gone to the dogs.

    If you can get entertained by anything that comes your way, then you are likely to get entertained by Entertainment.

  • Entertainment, Entertainment, Entertainment may have worked for Vidya Balan in THE DIRTY PICTURE. But it’s not necessary that just the word is enough to entertain.

    Entertainment takes on the tripe that our cinema enjoys dishing out and turns it into some kind of a queasy crap-convention that knows it is making little sense most of the time and is not apologetic about its lowbrow aspirations.

    Akshay’s comic timing stands out. Tamannaah has improved a little in acting skills. Krushna’s dialogues won our hearts. Mithun just played his part as a greedy father. Entertainment (dog) gathered all the attention. Prakash Raj and Sonu Sood added more entertainment in the movie. All in all, the movie is entertaining and a one time watch comedy.

    If you are one amongst those who made Humshakals, Heropanti and R..Rajkumar a blockbuster then you might also like Entertainment. Also, pet lovers might like the film in parts.

  • As filmmakers, they’ve managed to achieve the near impossible— managed to make Sajid Khan’s slapstick Humshakals look great in comparison. As if unsure of their movie’s intent, they’ve even titled it Entertainment. I’m sorry, but if this is entertainment, then I want to know what’s the word for a person banging his head against the wall for over two hours, having shelled out money to do that as well? No, don’t answer that.

    This movie doesn’t require a lot of thought process. You can leave your brain at home and enjoy a mindless comedy with the standard lines. If you are fond of canines, then watch the dog try to do his thing. On the whole, a family entertainer with terrible music. A decent attempt but it fails to make the grade. Watch the movie with your little ones (the human kind, don’t know if they allow dogs in the theatre).

  • Disappointingly regressive and only sparsely funny, the only entertainment comes from the portions involving the dog. One wishes the film lived up to its name!

  • I tried to draw various metaphors for the way in which the word Entertainment was used. Unfortunately, the only one that made sense was the one which involved the murder of entertainment.

    I recommend this for viewers who genuinely believe in leave-your-brains-at-home fare. But it turns out that I’m born with a brain, and what it does during a movie is beyond my control, unless I physically remove it. This can only happen if I’m a cartoon character, or part of the absurd world of Entertainment (the business).
