Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Dhruv Behl Here are two aspects to watch this movie. If you have already seen the classic, you might not be happy with the end product but if you are watching the film for the first time, you might enjoy it. Abhishek Sharma who previously directed the fun-loving Tere Bin Laden misses the bus this time. The movie does have some hilarious moments but only few to keep you alive. The 1st half goes fine. Even the 2nd half shows some promise but the climax plays the spoil sports and messes up completely. The songs are fine. Cinematoraphy is amazing. Art direction is captivating. Background score is just about OK. Coming to performances - Annu Kapoor , Anupam Kher and Piyush Sharma does a fine job and they will tickle your funny bone. Lisa Haydon is just about okay. Akshay Kumar does well in the supporting role. The Shaukeens does show promises but the climax makes it decent entertainer. Good 6/10

Please watch this movie for lots of entertainment. plot: The Shaukeens is a story of three oldies - KD, Lali and Pinki.

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.BEST BOLLYWOOD MOVIE OF 2014 __/\__
