Actors: Salman Khan, Asin
Director: Anees Bazmee
Preeti Arora says Ready is full
of stale gags and contrived humour but makes for a perfect weekend watch if you
are a die-hard Sallu fan.
After two films,
Dabangg and
Wanted, both of which were successful at the box-office Salman Khan
[

Since Dabangg was the top grosser of the year, or possibly even the
decade, the hangover was bound to linger for a couple of years. And it was
obvious Sallu baba would reappear in his Dabangg avatar as his fans
screamed for more. The pertinent question being 'How much more?'
Salman (Prem) is a spoilt brat from a rich family who worships him even as
he does his bit to irritate them. There is no trace of a career or
profession. He's passionate about rubbing people up the wrong way.
For hobbies he helps people find their soul mate in life. Even if it means
helping a bride to escape from her wedding at the eleventh hour. Or keeping
tabs on his uncle's love life and extramarital affairs. Taboo topics in the
'almost perfect' household.
Salman's father Mahesh Manjrekar [
Images ] (Rajveer Kapoor) plays an
industrialist plagued with weird memory loss. As he struggles to remember
commonplace words like beta and shaadi, his dialogues are punctuated with
double meanings and bordering-on-obscene gestures.
Manoj Joshi is the chacha who alternately encourages him or disparages him
in public as per the demands of the situation.
In a rather bizarre series of events Asin [
Images ] (Sanjana [
Images ]) stumbles into his life. She's no
pushover and has her own agenda. Unfortunately for Salman his eccentric
family completely dotes on Asin. But Asin hasn't entered his life with any
romantic intentions. She's on the run as her uncles' (mamas) Akhilendra
Mishra and Sharat Saxena have their eyes on her wealth.
The supporting cast also includes Anooradha Patel, Manoj Pahwa, Arya Babbar
and Sudesh Lahiri. But it isn't an ensemble cast by any stretch of
imagination. They've been cast as the perfect props for Salman's punch
lines. And of course his punches!
