Stray puppy story is adorable! 🐾 Bollywood actors sometimes get such bad rap but hearing about how Raveena, Jacqueline and Disha bonded over that puppy is truly wholesome. These are the real life moments that matter!
The cast for this film is massive. I count at least 15 well-known names. Ahmed Khan deserves credit for pulling this ensemble together. But sometimes too many actors can dilute the story, hope they managed to balance it well.
Bollywood ka koi match nahi jab nostalgia factor properly use kiya jaye. 'Welcome' franchise has always been about fun and comic timing. With Paresh Rawal, Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav in the same film, laughter guaranteed 😄
While this feels heartwarming, I wish Bollywood would also make more new stories instead of relying heavily on sequels and reunion nostalgia. Still, happy for Raveena, she always seems so down-to-earth in interviews. Her 90s chemistry with Akshay was legendary!
I remember watching Mohra with my family back in '94. Time flies! Great to hear the cast enjoyed themselves. The camaraderie between old friends always shows on screen. Looking forward to watching Welcome to the Jungle 🎥
