Welcome to Karachi - Movie Reviews

Arshad Warsi’s a comic genius and soars above his fractured Shammi. There’s never a misplaced note, as he single-handedly makes even the inane and quirky moments work in ‘Welcome 2 Karachi’

Worth one watch
Mid-Day
It’s a big fat bore

Quick take: Audaciously silly slapstick
Filmfare
Producer Vashu Bhagnani comes up with a yet another master trash film, after giving us trashy aces like 'Humshakals' and 'Himmatwala' due to which this movie should be renamed, 'Lunatics No.1'
Moviez Adda
It’s not easy to make a non-stupid film with two stupid characters at its helm. Welcome 2 Karachi pulls off that daring feat without falling flat on its face.
SKJ
Only the foolhardy would underestimate Bollywood's ability to do worse, but it is unlikely that you will see another film this unabashedly daft this year. Resist the itch.
NDTV
It’s a mindless film, but with some great fun-filled moments
Hindistan Times
That’s real lazy writing, dude!
DNA India
In the end, you only wish Warsi would get better roles and better films that do justice to his talent, rather than this hackneyed mess of a film

Welcome 2 Karachi ends up being one of those that make you go, “What on earth is going on!?”and even when you are expecting the worst you want to yell, “This is not what I had signed up for.”

WELCOME TO KARACHI can be avoided without a regret

Director Ashish R. Mohan has put together a desi version of Dumb and Dumber in this road buddy comedy

Naah! You could rather watch Rusell Peters’ videos at home and have a good laugh than watch a comedy that is a Yawn-edy!

And what was Lauren Gottilieb doing in this movie which failed to tap her talent?

The producer of 'Welcome 2 Karachi', Vashu Bhagnani, wanted a Thursday release because May 28 marked the release of his 1999 superhit, Biwi No.1. But surely, Bhagnani, who has been in business for so long, knows that a lucky release date alone isn’t enough for a film’s success… or does he?
The Hindu
Arshad, and to an extent Jackky, solely carry the film, if one takes things for granted and don’t seek logic and reason behind every joke.

So if you have nothing that you are looking forward to do this weekend, go watch it at a theatre near you.

If you are ones who found Sajid Khan movies funny or Navjot Singh Siddhu’s jokes hilarious, this movie will work for you.
Bollywood Life
This no brainer is a fafada time of crazy goofy mindless fun. 'Welcome To Karachi' is an odd mix of buffoonery with a tang of reality.

My deepest apologies to all of them on behalf of Bollywood.

Welcome 2 Karachi‘s single biggest problem is that its main characters are annoying. Almost every character who meets Shammi and Kedar eventually tells them to shut up. If everyone else in the film finds them that irritating, imagine how annoying they must be to a bored, confused audience.

Welcome 2 Karachi is a comedy of errors with few laughs and more exasperating sighs.
India Today
Welcome 2 Karachi is a sad excuse for screen space

All in all, this Arshad Warsi and Jackky Bhagnani starrer is a big bore which you will regret watching

एक्टर अरशद वारसी के लिए ये फिल्म देखी जा सकती है। क्योंकि इसमें उनकी जबरदस्त कॉमिक टाइमिंग आपको देखने को मिलेगी।

Even with a fairly witty concept and a decent first half, Welcome To Karachi remains half baked. A little work on the story and technical aspects could have done wonders for the flick.

"Welcome 2 Karachi" is a poor desi version of the "Dumb and the Dumber"

The film might appear a bit dragging in the second half, but it picks up towards the end and sends you out of the theater chuckling

Ashish R Mohan, the director of Welcome To Karachi, was Rohit Shetty’s assistant on many hit films before wielding the megaphone for 2012 film Khiladi 786.

Welcome 2 Karachi is a slightly better effort than director Ashish R. Mohan's previous film, the stain on humanity that was Khiladi 786, but that isn't saying much
