everything you have heard about this movie is true.

An Exercise In Nonsense

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Three Libidinous oldies, one crazy bimbette and a reigning superstar - with these oddballs, director Abhishek Sharma (of Tere Bin Laden fame)revisits the Bollywood classic 'Shaukeen',but with genX humor and plenty of uproarious moments.When Two is Company, Three is Crime. With an interesting voice-over of Akshay Kumar (who plays himself!) introducing the lecherous threesome, we get a glimpse of their lives through the antics which primarily begins with a daily dose of visual Viagra in the jogging park and ends with goofing it up.'Umar Pachpan ki par Dil Bachpan Ka' is the underlying characteristic of the incorrigible Laali(Anupam Kher),Pinki(Piyush Mishra) and the bachelor KD(Annu Kapoor) who are crazy to get into some 'Ohh-la-la' fling.After a couple of their attempts misfire, the trio heads to the scenic Mauritius,much away from the radar of their policing families.And as luck would have it, they stumble upon the gorgeous and sultry Ahana,the 'Earth Child'(Lisa Haydon)who swoons them with her oomph.Ahana is a die-hard Akshay kumar fan and when the trio learns it, each one of them begins his pursuit to please her with the hope of a return favor.The Shaukeens, written by Tigmanshu Dhulia , borrows the template from the 1980 film with the same title, but doesn't match up to the spontaneity of the plot or the ingenuity with which the stalwarts(Ashok Kumar, Utpal Dutt and AK Hangal)had approached their characters in the original. And here,I would blame it on the shoddy writing and uninspiring screenplay which overclouds the talents of the cast.The sexual innuendos,the projection of Bangkok in poor light or the trio's repeated request to Ahana to slip into bikini makes you cringe after a point in time, ignoring the fact that the lass is more concerned about the number of likes on her FB pics.Agree, the jokes might appear crass in the beginning but you get to redeem your boredom with the entry of Akshay Kumar. Taking digs at self seems to be latest mantra in Bollywood and Akshay does it sportingly with a great élan.As an 'Alcoholic' actor desperate to win a national award, his self-deprecating humor works enormously for the benefit of the film and us.And here I would give brownie points to the writers who competently synergize the main plot with Akshay's part.What can also be appreciated about the Shaukeens is the chemistry between the three oldies and their comic banters. They are the best of friends otherwise , but the most hopeless competitors under the influence of Ahana. Among the lot,I liked Annu Kapoor the most. With his nymph in crescendo,Annu makes his character despicable for the dignified viewer,yet evoking the likability to root for. Actors in cameo - Cyrus Broacha, Gaurav Gera and Subrat Dutta are a pleasure to watch.Not to forget, the other celebrities of the Bollywood film fraternity - Abhishek,Sunil Shetty, Kareena and Dimple Kapadia!Shaukeens is not a bad movie, it makes for a fun watch.Its like a piece of creamy cake.The fun lasts till the glossy garnishing is over.

Much Hyped...due to the newness in its concept...Shaukeen have some filthy yet amazing bone tickling performances...One thing should be kept in mind..that one m,ust watch it without comparing it with 1982 classic Shaukeen....The story revolves around three friend in 60s who were not satisfied of their personal lives and go on using each and every trick to get laid and how it got entangled with the life of a Bubbly Bronze Diva and a successful yet unsatisfied actor,whose ultimate goall is to get a national award..Good Things: Indian movies are really doing good in case of Cinematography, screenplay and other Editing Technicalities...Exotic locations, those peacocks, sea beaches and Side views were pretty..Now what was really good were some of the background scores they used throughout the movie...Among the Songs, only Manali Trance was new and different, rest even doesn't count..Those About the stars of the show...Three friends who played their character with so much lust and vulgarity, that justified the title of the flick...Anupam Kher, an actor per excellence, the half grimacing, frontal furrowed look he mantained throughout the movie, were just funny and hilarious. The overconfident Playboy, Anu Kapoor is indeed a playboy and charmer And the third of the trio Mr.Mishra aka Pinky, he is the best of the lot...His whole body was dipped in lust and more lust...His eye expressions, lip movements were just so perfectly lusty, that a cop can throw him behind bars anytime, just going by his expressions...The conversation between the trio whether it is regarding the swim trunks or getting an escort were perfectly timed and brilliantly performed...And My My Liza Aka Ahana the role was made for u only gal...Perfect acting, with all those touches of dumbness and that stalker attitude and her obsession for Facebook, made the flick more hilarious...Gaurav Gera and Cyrus need special mentioning, they were good...Bad Points: Though Akshay tried to make fun out of himself...but those portions were loosely woven and little bit lacking in Fun quota..The end was not so grippy....But inspite of those bad points...The Shaukeens is a watchable trade....Its fresh...

Lalchand (anupam kher), KD (annu kapoor), Pinky (piyush) are three oldies who are keen to have some spice in life and they go to Mauritius for a vacation. They rent the house of the young and sexy beauty Aahana (lisa haydon) and fall for her. Meanwhile, Aahana goes through a breakup and she wants to end her life but there she sees her favorite star Akshay Kumar (akshay) shooting. The three oldies decide to win Aahana's heart by introducing her to Akshay. What happens from there forms the rest.The director has come up with a hilarious storyline and while the presentation was rich, the narrative was quite absorbing. The dialogues were well written. The script was above average and the screenplay made it lot better. The background score was melodious and three songs were worth watching. Cinematography was the main strength to this film. Editing was crisp. Costumes were well designed to suit the royalty while the art department was majestic. Anupam Kher was at his best once again while Annu Kapoor was excellent, Piyush Mishra was perfect. Lisa Haydon was smoking hot and performed well. Akshay Kumar was the surprise package with impressive act. The rest did their bit as required.The film is the remake of the yesteryears hit of the 80s and true to the original, it stood well. The first half goes about with elements of comedy, some glamour and well narrated layering of the plot. The interval bang was interesting and the second half had enough share of fun moments. Overall, this is a film which is somewhat offbeat but it had those situations which really tickle your funnybone. Overall an enjoyable comic fare, laced with hilarious moments, the film is made on sensitive topic, but nots vulgar at all. Recommended. 3.25/5* or 6.5/10

Akshay Kumar is simply awesome in the movie and dialogs are hilarious. Please watch this movie for lots of entertainment. plot: The Shaukeens is a story of three oldies - KD, Lali and Pinki. These lusty old men plan a trip to Mauritius after it becomes difficult, rather life-threatening for them to get some action in Delhi.In Mauritius the trio stay with a young fashion designer Ahana (Lisa Haydon). Ahana, a huge Akshay Kumar fan, is nursing a broken heart.REVIEW: Piyush Mishra as Pinki, a mousy spice merchant, leads the pack with his super act, Akshay Kumar, is the surprise package of the film. Akshay as a superstar trapped in his own image is hilarious. He should take up more films like The Shaukeens.Lissom Lisa Haydon as Ahana looks sexy yet sweet but needs to work on her acting skills.Abhishek Sharma, who gave us the delightful Tere Bin Laden, does a great job with The Shaukeens too. The film, despite its theme does not get crass or vulgar even once, which is why it will get a larger audience.BEST BOLLYWOOD MOVIE OF 2014 __/\__
