This movie is completely trash. Embarrassing that people actually thought this was decent. Its all about dirty old men which is so tasteless and it fails to promote any positive behavior. Movies like these that glorify poor behavior towards women is part of the reason why India has a epidemic issue of viewing women as a piece of property that leads and had lead to the various issues we see in the media today. Difficult to say what about this movie is watchable. The music is pleasant but the lyrics are suited for a college crowd. Hopefully in the future Bollywood directors refrains from using such scripts, actors stop acting for such movies, and people start increasing their standards in movie watching.

3 friends are in search of a lady partner to satisfy their ever long lust. So they try various things from local farmhouse to bangkok, and gets landed in between which is Mauritius, and story unfolds in unexpected way and finishes in unexpected way too. Rest is suspense. Acting is undoubtedly very good by all actors involved. Akshay is no suspense as he is shown in all promos. How he is involved in this story is very unexpected too. Technically film is very good, music is super good. Costumes, sets are lively and colorful. Dialogs are very good too. But after watching the film you will feel that you actually liked the film and something remains missing. That something can be attributed to unpolished script. First half is senseless and one might wonder what was achieved in first half ? If one watches second half only then also that will have same effect. Improvisation could have been done in first half like how they come to Mauritius can be made like a chase and run thriller. Guys chasing a gal , gal goes to Mauritius and these guys lands there too but meets another gal to fall for. Bit more speed was needed in first half taking the climax to much higher speed. Overall it is one time watch for your money.

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

The movie was among the few I was waiting to watch mainly because of the three brilliant oldies. After a brief spell in the first half where it I was intrigued at what's gonna happen it all fell apart in the second half. The pace of the movie somehow fell drastically. Nothing unexpected happened and you will feel it was like that could have been the worst possible ending. Akshay was brilliant to begin with but as the movie progressed he showed signs of Chandni Chowk to China once again. The actress around which the whole movie revolves did not show any signs of acting and at times it was irritating to see her say everything in the same manner. Oh boy, how much she could do with some acting lessons. It is a one time watch hardly and that's only because of the sheer respect towards the senior citizens of Bollywood.

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.

The movie miserably failed to make me laugh after the first 10 minutes. There was nothing to see but three old tharkis trying to get into a girl's pants. It seemed like a side story of another movie that gets 15 mins of screen time but this one ran for 2 hours. Even the no-brainers bollywood is coming up with these days like "singham returns" or "kick" were more entertaining than this. At least their action made me laugh! Oh and Akshay Kumar's role is nothing more than a guest appearance so don't be fooled by the trailers. Its a waste of money and time. I would prefer watching and empty wall for 2 hours over this. I wish i could unsee this piece of turd but now its left a scar on my brain.

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. Habeb Al_janaby

A remake of the delightful 1982 film Shaukeen directed by Basu Chatterjee, 'The Shaukeens' is a disappointing remake. This one lacks humor & most importantly charm, which its much-loved original proudly boasted. If there is anything that works in 'The Shaukeens', its Akshay Kumar, who entertains throughly in a cameo. 'The Shaukeens' Synopsis: In order to sleep with a sexy young girl, 3 old lecherous men hatch a plan to get her to meet her film idol, in order for naughty returns. The original also was about 3 old men trying to woo a young girl, but the humor & storytelling there was neat, clean & cute. But, this remake is crass & crude. There's nothing wrong by giving a story an all new interpretation, but it will only work if the Writing Material is strong. In 'The Shaukeens' case, the Writing also doesn't support much. The Screenplay Written by Tigmanshu Dhulia & Sai Kabir offers some genuinely funny moments & the addition Akshay's track, which didn't exist in the original, is indeed super. But otherwise, the tale of the 3 old men & the young lady, is a tad under-whelming. Abhishek Sharma's Direction is limited to a few frames. Cinematography captures the locales of Mauritius well. Editing is fairly done. Music by Various Artists, is melodious. Performance-Wise: Akshay Kumar steals the show, hands down! As an alcoholic superstar who's in desperate need to win an Indian Oscar, Akshay nails the part & is also the film's best joke. Annu Kapoor, Piyush Mishra & Anupam Kher enact the lecherous oldies with sincerity. Annu, especially, leaves a mark. Lisa Haydon looks hot, but is strictly okay acting wise. Kavin Dave & Vineet are mention-worthy in minor roles. On the whole, Watch 'The Shaukeens' for Akshay, who spoofs himself hilariously! Otherwise, this one's a yawn!
