Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

vishal-lalani the movie is really one of those where they have an interesting concept, but really no concrete storyline. i guess even the concept is not novel and is stolen from the old shaukeen. so, anyway, the movie starts with a concept, plays with it till the interval, and then you can see it is running out of steam; so then they complete change it and go in a totally different direction. i liked the first half, it had some good laughs, and some witty dialogues. you can't call it a well made movie, but if you go with friends and are willing to let your hair down, i guess you can unwind a bit. my wife liked the second half much more. annu kapoor gives a good performance; anupam kher is really too overexposed and overacts. the third shaukeen i have seen for the first time, but he does a good job too. akshay kumar's willingness to make fun of himself is refreshing. lisa hayden looks good but her character is not a convincing one.

ghazwan124 Akshay Kumar is simply awesome in the movie and dialogs are hilarious. Please watch this movie for lots of entertainment. plot: The Shaukeens is a story of three oldies - KD, Lali and Pinki. These lusty old men plan a trip to Mauritius after it becomes difficult, rather life-threatening for them to get some action in Delhi.In Mauritius the trio stay with a young fashion designer Ahana (Lisa Haydon). Ahana, a huge Akshay Kumar fan, is nursing a broken heart.REVIEW: Piyush Mishra as Pinki, a mousy spice merchant, leads the pack with his super act, Akshay Kumar, is the surprise package of the film. Akshay as a superstar trapped in his own image is hilarious. He should take up more films like The Shaukeens.Lissom Lisa Haydon as Ahana looks sexy yet sweet but needs to work on her acting skills.Abhishek Sharma, who gave us the delightful Tere Bin Laden, does a great job with The Shaukeens too. The film, despite its theme does not get crass or vulgar even once, which is why it will get a larger audience.Habeb Al_janaby

anjumskhanbpl 3 friends are in search of a lady partner to satisfy their ever long lust. So they try various things from local farmhouse to bangkok, and gets landed in between which is Mauritius, and story unfolds in unexpected way and finishes in unexpected way too. Rest is suspense.Acting is undoubtedly very good by all actors involved. Akshay is no suspense as he is shown in all promos. How he is involved in this story is very unexpected too. Technically film is very good, music is super good. Costumes, sets are lively and colorful. Dialogs are very good too. But after watching the film you will feel that you actually liked the film and something remains missing.That something can be attributed to unpolished script. First half is senseless and one might wonder what was achieved in first half ? If one watches second half only then also that will have same effect.Improvisation could have been done in first half like how they come to Mauritius can be made like a chase and run thriller. Guys chasing a gal , gal goes to Mauritius and these guys lands there too but meets another gal to fall for. Bit more speed was needed in first half taking the climax to much higher speed.Overall it is one time watch for your money.

rajatdahiyax The Shaukeens is a story of three oldies - KD, Lali and Pinki. These lusty old men plan a trip to Mauritius after it becomes difficult, rather life-threatening for them to get some action in Delhi.In Mauritius the trio stay with a young fashion designer Ahana (Lisa Haydon). Ahana, a huge Akshay Kumar fan, is nursing a broken heart.Akshay Kumar (playing himself), is an alcoholic superstar desperately wanting to win the National Award. He is stuck between a Bengali director who gives him tips on method-acting and a secretary, hell bent on getting his superstar boss focus on Rs.200- cr club.When Akshay Kumar comes to Mauritius for a shoot, Ahana falls in love with him. The three oldies, needless to say, are already in love (read lust) with Ahana. In the end, who gets whom and what, is all that The Shaukeens is about.The Shaukeens is a remake, rather recreation of Basu Chatterjee's 1982 Shaukeen starring Ashok Kumar, Utapal Dutt, AK Hangal, Rati Agnihotri and Mithun Chakraborty. Directed by Abhishek Sharma, The Shukeens boasts of pace and crispy dialogs. Tigmanshu Dhulia's tight screenplay and flawless act by the three veterans make the film immensely watchable.
