Ready

"Ready" is a 2011 Bollywood action-comedy film starring Salman Khan in the lead role. The story follows the charismatic Prem, who gets entangled in a series of humorous and dramatic situations when he sets out to help his love interest, Pooja, escape an arranged marriage by concocting a plan with his inherently comedic and eccentric family members. The film blends slapstick humor with action sequences, packed with dance numbers and vibrant visuals typical of mainstream Bollywood cinema. Directed by Anees Bazmee, "Ready" aims to entertain audiences with its mix of romance, comedy, and high-energy moments, celebrating family values and love in a light-hearted narrative.

"Ready" received mixed to negative reviews from critics and audiences alike, reflected in its modest ratings — 4.9/10 on IMDb and 30% on Rotten Tomatoes. Many reviewers noted that while Salman Khan's energetic performance and charisma were highlights, the film as a whole failed to offer originality or depth. A review from Bollywood Hungama praised Khan for his comic timing and screen presence but criticized the film's predictable plot and lack of strong storyline. Rediff.com described the movie as 'an over-the-top, loud comedy that may appeal to die-hard Salman fans but might not satisfy audiences looking for refined humor or narrative integrity.' On Rotten Tomatoes, the audience score was also mixed, with users enjoying the entertainment value but pointing out the weak script and excessive slapstick elements. Overall, "Ready" is regarded as a typical masala entertainer, delivering laughs more through exaggerated antics than clever writing, making it enjoyable primarily for viewers who appreciate Salman Khan's signature style and the vibrant Bollywood formula.
