[3] It stars Feroz Khan (in his final screen appearance), Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar, Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Paresh Rawal, and Mallika Sherawat in prominent roles.

[8][9] The film received mostly mixed to positive reviews from critics and praise towards Patekar and Kapoor's gangster characters.

Nevertheless, Welcome was a major commercial success and went on to become the second highest grossing Hindi film of the year with global revenues of ₹1.22 billion (US$14 million).

A Don, Uday Shetty, wants his half-sister Sanjana to get married, but all his attempts fail due to his criminal background.

Uday and Majnu force Ghungroo to accept the alliance and invite their boss, the powerful underworld Don, Ranvir Dhanraj Xaka, a.k.a.

Ghungroo sends his sister-in-law Ishika to break the alliance, who succeeds by falsely claiming to be Rajiv's childhood betrothed at the engagement party.

Before he can, government brokers sneak up and cut the footings of the illegally built cabin, causing the house to start falling over the cliff, with everyone trapped inside.

[7][13] According to the Indian trade website Box Office India, with around 15,00,000 units sold, this film's soundtrack album was the year's fifth highest-selling.

[17] Despite facing competition from the popular Aamir Khan-starrer, Taare Zameen Par which was also a huge success, Welcome grossed ₹97.43 crore (US$11 million) domestically.

"[20] Hindustan Times stated, "Akshay Kumar has a flair for comedy but even that is beginning to bore which is quiet evident in Welcome.

"[21] Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, and stated "it's the extraordinary camaraderie between the actors, completely consumed by the foolhardiness that surrounds them, that tickles the bone.

"[22] Tajpal Rathore of the BBC gave the film 3 out 5 stars, and stated "Comedies should always be taken lightly in Bollywood and Welcome is as zany as they come.

And while it emerges as an addition to Kumar's repertoire of films that have little style and even less substance, it is the formidable ensemble cast that ultimately succeed in welcoming you to the theatre hall.

[25] Over the years since it was released, Welcome has been noted as a cult classic for fans, most notably for the dialogues and the chemistry between Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor.

It features John Abraham, Shruti Haasan, Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar and Paresh Rawal.
