'Entertainment' review: Senseless plot and glaring loopholes

New Delhi: Before making Entertainment, directors Sajid-Farhad have contributed quite a bit in the slapstick genre, to name a few Golmaal Returns, Golmaal 3, Housefull 2, Bol Bachchan and even the epic flop Himmatwala, they have written all these film. Hence, subtlety is something I was obviously not expecting. The humour in this film touches a new low.

Dialogues like 'Jaisi Karni Waisi Mamta Kulkarni' and DNA has a whole new meaning, here it means 'Daddy's najayaz aulad'. There are many gems like these in this two-hour-twenty-minute film.

Akhil (Akshay Kumar) who is finding it difficult to make ends meet finds out that his estranged father is actually a billionaire in Bangkok but as he gets to know that he also hears that he has just died and left an empire worth millions. When he lands in Bangkok to take over, he learns that his father actually left everything behind for Entertainment, his pet dog (a beautiful Golden Retriever). He tries to get the dog out of his way but soon he also has to fight two crooks, Karan and Arjun (Sonu Sood and Prakash Raj) who are also trying to claim the property.

Akshay loves Sakshi (Tamannaah) who is a television actor and has some funny lines, most of them making fun of TV soaps. Her father (played by Mithun Chakraborty) won't let her daughter marry a poor guy. He tells Akhil, "Tu gareeb hai!" So, till he becomes rich he can't marry her.

Some jokes are too juvenile, some are not in good taste and very few are actually funny. The plot of the film is senseless and full of loopholes.

Akshay Kumar is impressive as always. He is in good shape and he plays his part with sincerity. Tamannaah does her fair bit in the scenes that she has. The funniest is the comedy king Johnny Lever who never ever fails to make you laugh. Rest of the cast is wasted in inconsequential roles.

Music by Sachin-Jigar is not up to the mark. Though there is one good song that comes right at the end, 'Veer Di Wedding sung by Mika Singh.'

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