Welcome 2 Karachi’, meant to be a remake of Hollywood hit ‘Dumb and Dumber’, is about two bumbling Indians who fetch up in Pakistan, and what happens subsequently. If you are not being too picky — I wasn’t, warned by the presence of Jackky, he who spells it with two Ks, and the ‘2’ instead of the ‘two’ in the title—you can have yourself a bunch of guffaws.
One fine day Shammi (Arshad Warsi) and Kedar (Jackky Bhagnani) get on to a cruise ship. The next thing they know, they are washed up on a beach in Karachi, and find themselves falling in and out of a series of scrapes. This is not the kind of film where logic prevails, so please don’t bother with such pointless queries as ‘but how’? But why? Along come packs of gun-wielding types—colourful locals, mujahideens of all hues, a striking but clueless Pakistani ‘intelligence office’ (Lauren Gottlieb), and sundry others. And our boys are on the run, towards India and freedom.
