Starring:
Akshay Kumar, Sonam Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Irrfan Khan,
Suniel Shetty, Celina Jaitly, Rimi Sen
Directed By Anees Bazmee
Having given
commercial hits like Welcome and Singh Is Kingg, Anees
Bazmee is back with yet another comedy again with his
lucky mascot Akshay Kumar. It is an expensive film, shot
in the fascinating locales of Greece, London, Thailand,
Mumbai and Turkey.
Raj, Yogi and Vikram – best friends, business partners,
serial womanizers and happily married! Happy, because
their lovely wives have no clue that their husbands
cheat on them with every pretty young thing they can lay
their eyes on.
This film is based on infidelity of lecherous husbands
who openly cheat on their wives. It is picturised in the
high pitched night clubs and beautiful locales of
Toronto and Vancouver in Canada. ‘Thank You’ shows the
ladies as the classic Indian wife which we could see in
those bollywood movies of last century. Have the times
not changed?
The
detective is bent towards proving the husband guilty and
in the process he also exposes Vikram and Yogi.
In this particular case, however, Kishan’s overwhelming
attraction towards Sanjana means he may not be acting in
her best interest! What follows is a crazy cat and mouse
game, with the private detective trying to catch the
husbands with their pants down literally and them
attempting to just stay outside his grasp.
There are many bits and pieces which seem lifted from
director Anees's previous films like No Entry and No
Problem. Mallika Sherawat has an item number Razia phas
gayi and Vidya Balan makes a special appearance. Also
featuring in this film is a remixed cult number Pyar Do
Pyar Lo from Feroze Khan’s Jaanbaaz.

At least not for the characters of this latest hindi
movie, and since this is a film about the risk of
skirt-chasing there are plenty of women in skirts most of
them scantily dressed.
We have three lecherous husbands Raj (Bobby Deol), Vikram
(Irrfan Khan) and Yogi (Suneil Shetty), who are not only
big womanizers but also openly cheat on their wives
Sanjana (Sonam Kapoor), Shivani (Rimi Sen) and Maya
(Celina Jaitly) respectively.
This picture perfect world is rocked when Raj’s wife,
Sanjana begins to suspect her husband and hires the suave
private detective, Kishan (Akshay Kumar) to tail him. The
detective has built his reputation as a man who saves
marriages by getting erring husbands to mend their ways.
Irrfan Khan,
splendidly enacts his lecherous character. Akshay Kumar
is back in his element, the experienced actor Sunil
Shetty lives upto his expectations. Bobby Deol and Sonam
Kapoor form a nice couple.
Thank you gives a generalized view that all men are
infidels in marriage and that all Indian women are
saints and goody housewives who have blind trust on
their husbands.
The film starts off well and then on, especially, the
second half seems unbearable to say the least with many
silly situations and the jokes that don’t work. Thank
You has many embarrassing moments with suggestive
dialogues. Be careful.
