Releasing in 2007, Welcome starring Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar and Feroz Khan was directed by Anees Bazmee.

The movie featured Anil Kapoor as loveable don Majnu Bhai who is a failed artist at heart and honestly is a terrible painter.

There is a sequence in the movie where he paints a donkey riding a horse and puts it for a fake auction (he is made to believe it's a real auction).

Welcome was a big success at the box office and over the years has become a cult comedy classic and this painting in particular has become a pop culture phenomenon.
