Had Akshay only done Jolly this year, that would have been enough and it might have also done better at box office. And this movie with bazmee seems flop. He has only made 1 good movie and that is no entry. And maybe welcome was average. Actually Akshay got jealous of Kartik and bought rights to his other films. Lost the best one ( bhool bhulaiya) tho after hera pheri.

Aneez Bazmi directed Welcome, Welcome back, Ready , Singh is King, BB, , No entry. And many more
