Uday Shetty (Nana Patekar), Majnu (Anil Kapoor) and their boss, Sikander (Feroz Khan) are basically three Hong Kong-based serio-comic mobsters, who are keen to get their sister Sanjana (Katrina Kaif) married into a respectable family.
Uday, who accidentally meets the handsome bachelor Rajiv (Akshay Kumar), gets convinced that the latter would be an appropriate match for Sanjana. However, Rajiv™s uncle, Dr. Ghunghroo (Paresh Rawal) disapproves of Uday™s association with a dubious family.
Meanwhile, Sanjana, who is totally unaware of her brother™s plans, meets Rajiv on a cruise and they fall in love. She has the acceptance of Dr. Ghunghroo, who is unaware of the fact that she is the sister of the mafia. When Dr. Ghunghroo realizes his faux pas, he tries to escape the fury of the brothers. What follows after that, is a commotion of comically funny situations, as each of the diametrically different brothers gets engaged in smart and comic stunts to get their uncle agree to the alliance.
The entire plot takes a U-turn when a stunning bombshell (Mallika Sherawat), arrives on the scene and claims to be Rajiv™s fiancée which only adds to the hullabaloo and chaos.

Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor are the surprise hits of the film and definitely deserve maximum credit for carrying the film through.
Paresh is himself on the look out for a girl but has one criteria the girl must belong to picture perfect family with absolutely nothing to do with anything illegal.

The climax of 'Welcome' is one of the finest scripted "slapstick-comical" acts where the entire gang gets stuck on rooftop through the musical choir game.
RDX (Feroze Khan), the big boss among these notorious brothers, gets "Welcome" invitation for the Rajiv-Sanjana marriage.

The company is hopeful that the movie will get a good response from the Indian audience, not only because it is well made but also because the theme on which it is based is relevant to contemporary society.
Firoz Nadiadwalas Welcome was the first Bollywood movie to be officially released in Pakistan Feb 8 after the Senate standing committee on culture recommended to the government to allow exhibition of Indian movies under a proper censorship policy.

Things to see in the movie: i) Akshay and Paresh's Comedy performances especially the car scene in the first hour ii) The final house scene in the last half hour. They should have kept a better name for the movie instead of 'Welcome'
