After films like No Entry, Welcome, Singh is Kinng, filmmaker Aneez Bazmee is back with another entertainer Mubarakan. The film managed to catch the fancy of movie buffs ever since it was announced and for that, there are more reasons than one.
Mubarakan brings together real-life uncle and nephew, Anil Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor, as chacha-bhatija on-screen for the first time. The film also marks Arjun's second stint with double roles after Aurangzeb. It also boasts of an ensemble cast including the likes of Ratna Shah Pathak and Athiya Shetty, Ileana D'Cruz from the young lot.
If the trailer is anything to go by, the film revolves around a confusing family drama and like all other Bazmee films is expected to feature a grand wedding. Arjun, who appears in a double role, plays a London brought-up man Karan and Charan, who is born and brought in Punjab. They happen to be identical twins but through a twist of fate ends up becoming cousins. Karan is in love with Sweety (Ileana) but in a turn of events, his marriage gets fixed with Binkle (Athiya). While Charan, who is in love with Binkle, is asked to marry Sweety. Anil, who plays the role of a turban Sikh, Kartar, will likely be the saviour of the family.
Will Mubarakan prove to be a laugh riot or it'll end up confusing viewers? Will Anil-Arjun's on-screen camaraderie be as entertaining as their off-screen equation? Will Athiya and Ileana's characters add weight to the plot? Will Arjun justify the double role? Will he prove his mettle as an actor? Kriti Tulsiani from News18.com is inside the theatre to find out.
