Key facts
- Raveena Tandon compares Welcome 3 to Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler comedies
- She dismisses expectations of logic from the film
- Welcome 3 is the third instalment in the Welcome franchise
Raveena Tandon is not asking audiences to bring their critical faculties to Welcome 3 — she is asking them to leave logic at the door, much as they would for a Jim Carrey or Adam Sandler film.
In a candid interview, Tandon drew the comparison explicitly, pointing out that the beloved Hollywood comedy stars have built entire careers on absurdist, illogical humour that audiences adore precisely because it makes no pretence at realism. 'You expect logic?' she asked, making clear that Welcome 3 belongs in that tradition of big, broad, unapologetic entertainment.
The Welcome franchise has always occupied a specific lane in Bollywood — ensemble comedies built around outlandish gangster characters and escalating comic set-pieces, with little interest in plot coherence. The third instalment continues that tradition, with a large cast and the same chaotic energy that made the original a cult favourite.
Tandon's comments are likely to resonate with fans of the franchise who turn up for the laughs rather than the story. Whether the comparison to Carrey and Sandler holds up on screen will depend on execution, but as a marketing pitch, it is disarmingly honest — and probably the smartest way to set expectations for a film that has no intention of being anything other than a good time.
