Reviews
Welcome Back received predominantly mixed to negative reviews from critics, with an IMDb rating of 4.3/10 and a 40% score on Rotten Tomatoes suggesting a lukewarm reception. Critics praised the film's energetic performances by the ensemble cast, particularly John Abraham and Anil Kapoor, for their comic timing and charisma. However, many reviews pointed out the film's weak storyline, over-the-top action sequences, and lack of fresh humor. For instance, The Times of India commented that the film "relies heavily on tired jokes and slapstick antics that feel outdated," while Bollywood Hungama highlighted the "occasional laughs but overall a predictable and uninspired script." On Rotten Tomatoes, the consensus notes that Welcome Back "fails to innovate within its genre, offering more of the same chaotic comedy that may appeal to fans but disappoint general audiences." Despite its shortcomings, some viewers appreciated the film's lighthearted entertainment value and colorful production design. Overall, Welcome Back is considered a film that caters mainly to fans of broad Bollywood comedies, with limited critical acclaim.
