Exclusive synopsis - Welcome

  • IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,November 15 2007]

Dr Ghungroo is a highly respected doctor who lacks only one thing in his life - a suitable bride for his nephew Rajiv. Dr Ghungroo’s definition of suitable is very simple – the girl’s family should have an impeccable background and spotless reputation wherein forget going to jail, nobody has even been summoned to the police station!

For obvious reasons, every bridal interview ends with him storming off in rage and disgust. Rajiv seems destined to remain a bachelor.

Uday Shetty is a highly feared underworld don who lacks only one thing in his life – a suitable boy for his only sister Sanjana. Uday Shetty’s definition of suitable is very simple – the boy should be from a respectable family with a spotless reputation and no criminal connections. For obvious reasons, all the boys he interviews run away in fright when they realise who they are dealing with. Sanjana seems destined to remain a spinster.

Along comes a raging fire that plays Cupid and entices Rajiv and Sanjana to fall in love. Along comes a conniving Pandit who plays matchmaker by hiding a few truths.

Dr Ghungroo is ecstatic. Beautiful Sanjana is exactly what he wanted for Rajiv. Uday Shetty too is ecstatic. Handsome Rajiv is exactly what he wanted for Sanjana.

Then Dr Ghungroo learns the bitter truth - that Sanjana comes from a dangerous, gangster family.

And Uday Shetty also realizes the harsh truth - that no threats or gunshots will force Rajiv’s uncle into agreeing to this marriage.

Playing their own deadly roles in this marriage mayhem are trigger happy Majnubhai who prefers a paint brush to a gun and RDX, the baap of all dons, whose world revolves around his son Lucky and his two revolvers; and Isha cum Ishika who enters the scene as Rajiv’s childhood bride and ends up Uday Shetty and Majnubhai’s sweetheart!

Welome - To the deadliest, funniest shaadi of the year!!

Cast

Akshay Kumar is Rajiv. Disarmingly simple and straight, he falls flat when he sees Sanjana for the first time. Obedient to the core, he will never defy his uncle, but when he sees his dream of marriage with his dream girl going up in gun smoke, he realises he has to do something drastic to save his future.

Katrina Kaif is Sanjana. She is exquisitely pretty, but tough enough to carry an unconscious Rajiv through a raging fire. But even her brave heart falters, when her obstinate brother crosses swords with Rajiv’s equally stubborn uncle, and she sees her love being blown to smithereens.

Nana Patekar is Uday Shetty. This wannabe actor turned dreaded don has a silver tongue and can shed crocodile tears at the drop of a hat. If he has any weakness, it’s his only sister Sanjana. He will do anything and everything to make her happy, except give up his criminal ways.

Anil Kapoor is Majnibhai. His passion for painting live canvases puts lives and limbs at risk, not to mention his soft heart which stops just short of putting a bullet through your head and breaks it instead. He has made it his life’s mission to find a suitable groom for his bhai’s sister Sanjana.

Paresh Raval is Dr Ghungroo. All this highly respected doctor wants is a bride from a respectable family for his nephew Rajiv and when he finds himself cheated into an alliance with a girl from a notorious, gangster family, he will die rather than bend.

Feroz Khan is RDX. He is as explosive as his name. Living life kingsize, he struts his stuff in style, fires with both hands and loves his son lucky to death.
