Review Central: Welcome Back – A bit of a stale joke
The sequel to Welcome is back, but Akshay Kumar is missing and is replaced by John Abraham, who finds it a tough act to replicate. Most reviewers described the film – much grander than Welcome — as ‘stale’, ‘old’ and ‘crass’. Some found it meaningless, but worth a few laughs.

Our take: Should you go? Yes, if you don’t mind a bit of mindless entertainment. Not if you are expecting a clever-funny film.
