Director Anees Bazmee's Bollywood movie "Welcome Back" starring John Abraham and Shruti Haasan in the lead roles, has garnered mixed reviews from audience across the globe.
"Welcome Back" is an action comedy film directed by Anees Bazmee and produced by Firoz Nadiadwala. The film is the sequel to the 2007 blockbuster film "Welcome" starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles. John Abraham and Shruti Hassan have replaced the lead pair in the sequel, while Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor and Paresh Rawal continued to play their roles.
Having said good bye to their underworld activities, Uday Shetty and his brother Manju have set up their own business in Dubai. They are in search of a suitable bride for their sister Ranjana (Shruti Haasan), but she falls in love with a gangster Ajju Bhai (John Abraham). What happens next will form the crux of the film.
After watching "Welcome Back" some viewers took to their Twitter pages to share their verdict on the film. They say that the movie does not have an interesting and fresh story. The first half is entertaining, but the second half is boring and forces the film goers to walk out of the theatres.
The audience say Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, Naseeruddin Shah, Dimple Kapadia and others have done justice to their roles. But they do not seem to be impressed with the performance of John Abraham, Shruti Haasan and Shiney Ahuja. Many of the viewers blame Anees Bazmee for the failure of the movie.
Here is the live update of "Welcome Back" movie review by audience:

#WelcomeBack delivers mad slapstick entertainment. Fun to see Nana, Anil, Paresh, Naseer, Dimple do comedy after long. One liners are mad!
Srabanti Chakrabarti @srabantic

#WelcomeBack is a quirky funny ride, story doesn't have any freshness but you can get some good laugh and a little bit of action.

Thank You Lord for I don't have to review and rate this lame movie. #WelcomeBack Just a tip for Anees Bazmee that when he decides to use stock photos in a film at least make sure they look slightly real. I hope all the cast dies in the end of the movie so that they drop the idea of making a third movie #WelcomeBack
Kamaal R Khan-KRK ?@kamaalrkhan
It's interval n believe me #WelcomeBack is very good film till here. Hope 2nd half will be superb also. What a great chutiyapa 2nd half of #WelcomeBack! How can a director waste 100Cr on such a crap film. I give 1.5*. More details in my review.

#WelcomeBack – Well Entangled Formulae succeeds to entertain. Welcome Back to the crazy ride yet again where Anees Bazmee succeeds with his formulae to entertain you in bits and pieces. Before you sulk in your seat he succeeds to pulls you out laughing out loud with his brilliant characters Uday Shetty and Majnu Bhai who are the two pillars of entertainment in the Welcome Back.

#WelcomeBack is gud muvie specially Nana patekar and Anil kapoor they did awsme wrk what a great dose of laughter it was
Bollywood AM @BollywoodAM
#welcomeback seniors @AnilKapoor @nanapatekar1951 @SirPareshRawal steal the show with few genuine laugh but 2nd half tedious wit poor climax #welcomeback suffers from over-the-top forced humor, terrible music @TheJohnAbraham tries hard @shrutihaasan fails @shineyahujaa forgetable
Anand Gangadharan @anandgang
#WelcomeBack climax makes #Lingaa climax look like a Brian de Palma classic. One of worst movies in recent times
Naresh bijarnia @naresh4098
#WelcomeBack: The first half is as stiff and monotonic as @TheJohnAbraham's character, hope the second half brings in some 2007 magic.
Rummana Ahmed @reachrummana
#WelcomeBack Interval: It's been a fun watch so far, hope the second half is good too
Dhriti sharma @dret2014
#welcomeback Nana Patekar's double role is a treat! Whistles and claps is the response #welcomeback Dubai sizzles! Movie is shot in scintillating locales #welcomeback The hunk John Abraham is back with his punches and rugged avatar
BollywoodJournalist @BollyJourno
If versatility had a face, it would undoubtedly be of @AnilKapoor! Stylish & Flamboyant!! He and Nana Patekar are the soul of #WelcomeBack!
BollywoodLight @bollywoodlight
After No Entry, Welcome, No Problem @AnilKapoor full form in #WelcomeBack. His comic timing is outstanding. Screen presence of @AnilKapoor in #WelcomeBack are enough for ur paisa vasool entertainment. Watch movie for Anil Kapoor aka Majnu Bhai..
Roshan Rabari @RoshanRabari
it is interval..just one word Majnu Bhai @AnilKapoor..u r the best #welcomeback
