Review of No Entry

No Entry (2005)
1/10
Mediocrity, thy name is Bollywood
22 December 2005
This movie is supposed to be a "laugh riot, comedy, hilarious" and all that, according to the previews on the local desi channel.

It is anything but. Jokes are the typical B-grade 'el cheapo' kind. The comedy is slapstick. In this hastily written story (no plot, of course, otherwise it can't be Bollywood), a guy who it seems is not-so-happily married to his suspicious wife, is lured into tasting the "forbidden fruit" by his BIL (bro-in-law) and his photographer colleague who also conveniently happens to be an employee searching for a place to stay. What happens at the end is anyone's guess.

Acting is tepid (why do they even bother casting Esah Deol??) with Khan and Kapoor clearly looking over-age. They don't come across as married-guys-looking-to-settle-down, or as enjoying married life. No wonder they fall for the dancing damsel. All in all, it is a bogus farce that only Bollywood can cook up.

Could be much better on stage (likely where its stolen from).
