Sonam Kapoor in Thank You

Sonam Kapoor is doing the leading role as Simran in Thank You among the wives of three friends, business partners and skirt chasers at heart. Her debut Sawarya presents her as a young pretty demsil who could be the dream of any heart. Being daughter of legendary hero, Anil Kapoor, every eye is on her expecting something different something extra ordinarily. However, she is still unable to prove herself as a true heir of Anil Kapoor. It does not mean she is not eligible to become a good actor. Experience makes perfect and she is also improving after working in hand full of movies.

Thank You is an Indian movie released one month before (April 20011). It is written and directed by Anees Bazmi. Thank You belongs to the comedy genre like ‘Welcome’ and ‘No Entry’. It is also an interesting fact that father (Anil Kapoor) has main role in ‘No Entry’ and daughter (Sonam Kapoor) in Thank You. The difference between No Entry and Thank You is that in first men were prominent but Thank You belongs to female. To support the film with sure success Akshey Kumar and Vidya Balan are introduced. Vidya Balan is the past of Akshey Kumar and he is compensating his mistake by heling other ladies to bring their husband back to him.

Despite the greatest expectation to have a nonstop comedy Thank You fails badly. Although it was a good strategy of Anees Bazmi to use Akshay kumar and Vadiya Balan as a supporting characters besides the main roles of Sonam Kapoor and Bobby Deol. Sonam is in her premature stage so innocence and attraction is in her to the utmost but there is time to blossom this flower. The rest of the star cast is also very impressive as Irrfan Khan has excellent timing and expressions for comedy and then there is Sunil Shetty previously known as serious actor but good to see this star as comedian.

Yogi (Sunil Shetty), Vikram (Irrfan Khan) and Raj Malhotra (Bobby Deol) are happily married to Maya (Celina Jaitley), Shivani (Rimi Sen) and Sanjana Malhotra (Sonam Kapoor) respectively. Thankfully to the dim-witted wives all three friends spend time in skirt chasing. However, one of the friend’s wives Sanjana suspects her husband Raj and hires a Tec Kishen (Akshay Kumar) to dig out the truth. However Tec falls for Sanjana and a series of comedy entailed by this Cox.

Empty vessel makes the most noise and so is Thank You. It is full of noise all the characters are seen louder than expected in a quality comedy. Only Irrfan Khan and Sunil Shetty are acceptable in their respective roles rest of the characters are just busy in hip hop, appear whacky and involve in voluble conversation. The story has no solid plot and is therefore fails to involve the viewers to make them stick to their seats. At time it becomes difficult for them to decide whether to wait for the end or to get bore.
