Mubarakan Reviews

In the end the film is the same old comedy of errors that we've seen so many times before. Anil Kapoor is the secret sauce of Mubarakan whose incredible timing uplifts many a dull patch. But the film is unmistakably indulgent and over-long and could've done with some serious pruning. Right now it w ...  { more

Post-interval, the film’s funny bone gets lost. It becomes a long, maudlin harangue on family values and good sisters and brothers, while slipping in a few distasteful jokes about wives and women.

Mubarakan is designed as a family film where comedy is generated through quarrelling relatives. This works initially but goes out of control later.

Mubarakan is a very entertaining, enjoyable comedy of bad manners. It is politically incorrect and completely in control of its screwball plot, gags, funny asides, mental lines and sparkling characters.

Mubarakan proves convincingly that comedies need not always be about slapstick, that there is more to comedy films than vulgar gestures and crass jokes. There is no doubt in my mind that I'd watch Mubarakan again and again just for its clean dialogues and clean comic punches; just like Andaz A ...  { more

in trying to squeeze every ounce of hilarity out of its scrappy screenplay, the film goes overboard with its excessive cheeriness and swerves into the realms of inanity. In the bargain, it loses its way completely after delivering a fairly breezy first half.

Ratna and Pavan add weightage with their stellar acts, though Pavan should have kept it down in the dramatic portions, where he is much too loud.If comedies are your thing, then mubarakan…

Arjun Kapoor displays a singular lack of comic timing, and the female leads are for decorative purposes only. Athiya Shetty, whose promotional appearances for this film are hugely disproportionate to the miniscule amount of screen time she gets, puts the cherry on top when she says coyly to her gro ...  { more

Mubarakan is the cleanest entertainer and deserves to be watched for its high entertainment value.

Less tone-deaf humour, more quirks, a shorter running time and a more able younger cast and Mubarakan could have been more delightful.

The film leaves you feeling good and happy. An enjoyable weekend watch with kids.

This one is completely avoidable unless, of course, you just want to saunter into the theatre to enjoy 156 minutes of air-conditioning during the oppressive Indian summers.

All-in-all, while Mubarakan suffers from a strained and predictable plot, its silliness does make you laugh. So go watch the film if indulging in there hours of escapist comedy is your game.

All said and done MUBARAKAN is a complete family entertainer worth every cent of your penny spent. Go LOL with your near and dear ones.

Not every movie experience has to be motivated by a socio-political purpose. Sometimes you just need to have fun at the movies. I had loads of it last night in Mubarakan, one of the craziest homages to airheadeness in recent years.

    Above average.

    Good : Quite confusing plot , Unexpected twists and turns , Decent performances , hilarious situations
    Weakness : disappointing and a bit predictable climax , Below par performance by Athiya , Few unnecessary dramatic situations

    Hilarious comedies has been far & few in recent times for reasons best known to film makers. Invariably, majority of the so called "comedies" that hits the screens are inundated with sexual innuendos. I would have laughed at some of the jokes though frankly speaking, I am not a huge fan of such comedies. This week saw the release of Anees Bazmee's "Mubarakan" which was in the news as it featured the first reel collaboration between uncle Anil Kapoor & nephew Arjun Kapoor. So will it be as hilarious as some of his previous ventures???

    Karan & Charan (Arjun Kapoor) were twins who were orphaned in their infancy when their parents met with an accident. They were then raised by their aunt & uncle, with Karan in London under the care of Jitto (Ratna Pathak Shah) & Charan wit ...

    Mubarakan: I thought this 'One-lie Golmaal' styled movies were a thing of the past but when even newer generations start making movies like this, there is not much hope in Bollywood. There is no need for creativity/talent to make a movie around a 'one-lie' which is shown in the beginning. Everyone with a common sense will know what the plot will boil down to from thereon. Dissappointed :((

    Film : Mubarkan
    Cast : Arjun Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Ileana D’cruze, Athiya Shetty
    Directed by : Aneez Bazmi
    Rating : 6/10
    Aneez Bazmi has given us several comedy films, Welcome being his best so far, however 2nd installment of Welcome didn’t do well at the box office. And now he is back with Mubarkan. Murbakan also follows the same theme like Aneez’s predecessors.
    Mubarkan is the story of Karan and Charan , both the characters played by Arjun Kapoor. One is brought up in Chandigarh while other in London. They are expected to marry as per their guardian’s wishes.
    But they are already in love with Nafisa (Neha Sharma) and Sweety (Ileana D’Cruze). Due to some circumstances charan gets engaged to a girl – Binkal (Athiya Shetty) in London. And now here confusion starts which raises high when Kart ...
