No Entry – Review

No Entry gives you paisa vasool entertainment. It has all the ingredients of a successful commercial entertainer – it has star value, funny story, mushy romance, good dose of comedy, and a bit of titillation.

The film, directed by Anees Bazmee, has Anil Kapoor , Salman Khan and Fardeen Khan playing three cheating husbands. Lara Dutta , Esha Deol and Celina Jaitley play their respective spouses. Bipasha Basu plays a seductress.

The film tells the story of three men. Kishen (Anil Kapoor) is a faithful husband who has a very suspicious wife Kaajal (Lara Dutta). Prem (Salman Khan) is a total flirt or a married bachelor who has a very trusting and gullible wife Pooja (Esha Deol). Sunny (Fardeen Khan) is somewhere in between. He is in relationship with Sanjana (Celina Jaitley) who has her own conditions.

It is Prem, the married bachelor, who prods his henpecked friends into having some fun outside their marriages. His idea of fun is the sexy club dancer Bobby (Bipasha Basu), the very sight of whom can remind a man of his manliness.

Bobby is the ‘forbidden fruit’ that many men – married or not – won’t be able to resist. And when this sexy siren sets out to seduce the loyal-to-wife Kishen, it leads to a spate of hilarious situations in which both Kishen and Sunny have to weave a cobweb of lies to conceal their extra-marital misadventure.

‘No Entry’ has humor that mixes kitsch with wit. Many situations in the movie are quite witty and their treatment is kitschy. The combination works really well and keeps on sending regular tickles down your spine, sometimes leaving you in splits.

Several sequences in the movie abound with good humor – for instance, the sequence when Lara suspects her husband (Anil) of hitting on the maid. Or Fardeen’s ‘suicide point’ scene, or the post-interval sequence of marriage between Fardeen and Celina.

‘No Entry’ rests strongly on performances by Anil Kapoor and Salman Khan. Anil’s timing of comedy is exceptionally fine. Just his facial reactions can sometimes evoke laughter. Although Salman is conspicuously missing in the most part of the second half of the movie, his cool-dude-adulterous-husband act does look charming.

Fardeen Khan’s performance is not without hamming. Lara Dutta is truly a revelation of this film as far as comedy is concerned. Her suspicious wife act leaves you in splits at many places. Esha Deol has a marginal role except at the movie’s fag end. Celina Jaitley shows glimmers of good acting.

All in all, ‘No Entry’ is a movie full of vim and vigour.
