Thank You (I) (2011)
Beep You
16 February 2012
'No thanks' would be the proper response if someone proposes that you watch this junk. Anees Bazmee has made another garbage that's not only highly offensive to women but also an insult to people's basic intelligence. Of course, I expect this from Akshay Kumar and Bazmee (who, as it seems, is incapable of making a decent film) so I would have skipped this but some of my relatives are fans of Kumar and so it was more about spending time with the family and laughing at the awfulness of 'Thank You'. While I did predict it to be awful, I thought it would be one of those so-bad that it's funny. However, the way the woman are portrayed as weak AND stupid is unforgivable. Anyway, needless to say, the writing is horrendous. Akshay Kumar is okay where acting is concerned but he offers nothing new. Irfan Khan steals the show as he reveals his comic side once again. Of the women, Rimi Sen stands out in a non-challenging role. Bobby Deol, Sonam Kapoor and Celina Jaitly are bad. Of course, like many rich Bollywood directors, Bazmee is ashamed of India, so the film is poorly shot in Canada. The songs, like in most recent Akshay Kumar films, are dreadful.

Oh well, as a viewer, I wouldn't consider myself completely blameless as I did choose to watch this trash, expecting to at least laugh a bit and poke fun but alas! No thanks to Bazmee and his team.
