Welcome Back

5.5/6

Rated: 4.4/10 ⭐️

I loved the original and hoped this film will capture that same chaotic magic. I honestly dislike this sequel; it tries too hard to be like the original but just ends up loud and exhausting.

What Worked:
• Kapoor and Patekar still bring chuckles despite a super weak script.
• The lavish Dubai locations and Emirates Palace look crazy expensive.
• Rawal is brilliant and squeezes out genuine laughs.

The Friction:
• Abraham replacing Akshay really dragged for me; he honestly lacks the goofy timing.
• The blind don subplot felt forced, lacking Feroz Khan’s energy from the original.
• The desert climax honestly felt way too chaotic and messy.

Verdict:
I completely dislike this. Watch this just for the Dubai locations. Skip if you hate loud, exhausting sequels.

Jhon cannot replace Akshay 😭
