This is a typical tragic ending film.Climax which is visually appealing and hits the right spot but story line has nothing new to offer.Cinematography is good.

Overall,Hamari Adhuri Kahani is one time watch film if you love to watch tragic ending film.

WELCOME TO KARACHI


WELCOME TO KARACHI: is an 2015 Indian comedy film, directed by Ashish R Mohan starring Arshad Warsi and Jackky Bhagnani.This film is remake of Jim Carrey – Jeff Daniels classic hollywood film  "Dumb and Dumber".

PLOT: Mitesh Patel (Dalip Tahil) is a boisterous Jamnagar-based businessman who wants his dim-witted son Kedar(Jackky) to take over.bt Kedar's dream to go to USA but he has been denied American visa multiple times. kedar & his friend  Shami Thakur (Arshad Warsi) a court marshaled navy officer  plans to sail to USA using a boat but with a twist of fate, ends up on the beach of Karachi, Pakistan. On realizing the truth they both try to escape.Then they are captured by ISI.Now rest of the story is about their journey from pakistan to India,what problem did they face in karachi,how did they survive.

PERFORMANCES: Arshad Warsi's screen presence, and his strong sense of comic timing works. Jackky's performance is ok.But the acting is repetitive

MUSIC: composed by  Jeet Ganguly & Rochak Kohli.Songs ‘chal bhaag nahi toh G pe laat pad jayegi' "Shakira"  are good composition.

It's a potentially clever premise, but writer Vrajesh Hirjee and director Ashish R Mohan kill any scope for genuine laughs by relying on juvenile jokes and plain stupidity but this film has some funny moments which are not enough to attract the audience for watching the film.The film drags on incessantly, a bunch of unimpressive songs stretching out the running time. 

Overall Welcome to karachi is completely mess.

One conversation between ther heroes & the taliban leader is worth mentioning.A terrorist that our heroic duo encounter tells them, ‘Mujhe tum pe fakr hai.’ ‘No I fakr you’, says Shammi. ‘No no we fakr you’, the terrorist replies. ‘No we both fakr you’, say Shammi and Kedar. ‘We all fakr you’, the entire terror camp chants....
