Mubarakan Review: Script Analysis
The story is funny and the film has some really hilarious dialogues. However, sardar jokes are a bit clichéd and Bollywood needs to get over it.
I loved the way the film builds up the confusion but it tends to drag towards the climax. Their are moments when you will feel it is patriarchal, racist and regressive.
Also, the climax is a bit predictable.
Mubarakan Review: Star Performance
Anil Kapoor as Kartar Singh steals the show in this film. Watch the film for Anil Kapoor if not for anything else.
Arjun Kapoor does a good job in the double roles of Karanveer Singh and Charanveer Singh.
Ileana D’Cruz as Sweety, Karan’s girlfriend delivers an excellent performance.
Athiya Shetty plays Binkle, Charan’s girlfriend. She really needs to brush up her acting skills.
Rahul Dev (as Binkle’s father), Ratna Pathak Shah (as Karan’s mother) and Pavan Malhotra ( as Charan’s father) are excellent.
