Entertainment Hindi Movie Review
Ratings:0.5/5 Review By: Rajeev Masand Site:CNN IBN
Anyone who's ever got a bad review tends to believe that movie critics don't want to enjoy a film. That they go into a movie thinking of new and different ways to shred it to bits. That's not true I can assure you. Movie critics - just like everyone else - want to have a good time at the movies. I'm going with half, yes just half out of five, for Entertainment. This could be hazardous to your health; doesn't matter if you're a movie critic or a movie buff, so go in prepared.Visit Site for more
Ratings:3.5/5 Review By: Taran Adarsh Site:Bollywood Hungama
Sajid-Farhad have been an integral part of Rohit Shetty's movies and unsurprisingly, Rohit's influence shows in their very first outing as well.. Really, if you need to de-stress yourself, ENTERTAINMENT -- with all its bizarre, outrageous and wacky jokes and superb one-liners -- serves the purpose. However, you cannot disregard the loose ends. The humor quotient goes downhill as the comic villains surface slightly before the intermission. The gags and funny episodes, all of a sudden, take a back seat towards the second hour and though Sajid-Farhad do make an attempt to pack hilarious occurrences, you aren't amused really. On the whole, ENTERTAINMENT is a joy ride that lives up to its title. Go, laugh out loud and get entertained!Visit Site for more
Ratings:3/5 Review By: Meena Iyer Site: Times Of India (TOI)
Debutant-directors Sajid-Farhad, who have the dubious distinction of having written very successful Bollywood no-brainers like the Golmaal series, Dhamaal, and Housefull 2, and who have salvaged themselves to a degree by writing the Singham films, could have salvaged their first directorial venture by keeping it tight, despite the stereotypes. However, because the jokes are repetitive by nature, the LOL (laugh-out-loud) moments are few and far between. The dialogue, which uses Bollywood actor-director names like, "I so Rajani-can't", does get guffaws. But for the most part, the humour is for the child in you.Visit Site for more

Entertainment, scripted and directed by super-successful potboiler writers Farhad-Sajid, is unabashedly asinine and delivers anything but what the title promises. Entertainment is the sort of film in which the characters are reduced to exchanging inanities while the dog looks on flummoxed. In the acting department, Entertainment is nearly in the Humshakals league. In other words, it will definitely be in the running for the year's Golden Kela awards. If this is entertainment, what, pray, is torture? Run for cover.Visit Site for more

Entertainment is best when it isn’t trying to force laughs out of us with its desperate attempts at wit. Sajid-Farhad’s first film is mostly a garrulous, occasionally comical farce that intermittently serves as reminder that in the search of “entertainment, entertainment, entertainment” one can always rely on the delightfully loony Johnny Lever.Visit Site for more

The debutant directors have written such films as ‘Golmaal Returns’, ‘Ready’ and ‘Housefull 2’, so the dialogue, laced with Bollywood jokes and a running Ekta Kapoor gag, comes as no surprise. Neither does the discovery that the film lurches from one scene to another without bothering too much about plot. When all you want is for your actors to mouth a line, a story is pointless extravagance.Visit Site for more

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.Don't go by the title, it's sure called Entertainment but only if that was enough!Visit Site for more
Ratings:3/5 Review By: Nayandeep Rakshit Site: DNA
The film lacks a proper script and like most other madcap comic capers, the film uses less heart and no brains at all. Other than few emotional scenes between Junior and Akshay, which might bring back memories of your own pet, there’s nothing too praiseworthy about the plot. ‘Yeh film sirf teen chizon pe chalegi: Entertainment, Entertainment aur Entertainment’. There are some people who are not ‘God-gifted’ but ‘Dog-gifted’. This film is definitely for such people! If you are a dog lover, you must watch it for our little star, Junior. Else, you can just let it pass.Visit Site for more

'Entertainment' pleasantly surprises with its delightful absurdity and sure gets you roaring with laughter at several points. Making people laugh is a serious business and the debut director duo (and writers) Sajid-Farhad do a more than decent job of it. This film is child friendly. The humour is clean and not bow bow-dy. After a spate of films that thought funny is talking about someone’s bow bow-el movements, Entertainment comes as a refreshing change. The dialogues, especially the ones given to Krushna Abhishek are super hilarious and must admit, mighty clever.Visit Site for more

Entertainment serves trash in the garb of entertaining you. As competent as I think Sajid Farhad are, their filmmaking skills doesn’t reflect their prowess over good writing. Jokes kept flowing thick for the first 15 minutes and everything after that was drab. If you are solely depending on the dog’s cuteness factor for relishing the film, I would recommend a bountiful experience at a dog show for you. Some films don’t deserve audiences, after 140 minutes of sparse laughs and sheer drudgery, I can safely say Entertainment is one of them and take harebrained to another dimension altogether!Visit Site for more

If animals could speak, he would probably scoff at the sheer ludicrousness of a plot that sees his owner’s illegitimate son and his best mate bumble about in attempts to kill him off so they could usurp the riches in the bank; all this before the duo turn into good guys to save the mutt and his money from evil family invaders possessing even more melodrama than Rakhee’s obsessive motherly turn in ‘Karan Arjun’
