I am a little lag in writing the review on the movie but better late than never. A light hearted romantic comedy, well! India has been tardy in producing movies under the genre. Nevertheless, the movie scores out to be a complete entertainer. It is splendidly woven and all the characters are well defined. They have been articulated pretty fairly to bring out their serenity on the screen.
With people who still believe that Amitabh should be couched into fatherly roles and should only wear the veil of carrying family values, I don’t think you should step an inch into the movie hall. Please stay at home and watch “hum apke hain Kaun” and for people who love spice and experiment, please go and hover over the one and half hour complete entertainer.
Amitabh, although being rude and curt to his restaurant employee, boasts of having the best eating joint in London, inadvertently falls in love in with a girl, who half his age. He not only evolves himself as a rational romantic boyfriend, but also exhibits the character of a matured fun loving man, who can mock at simplest things and make the other person go wild. He wins over as a friend, who cares for a little young candid fairy living next door, as a son who cares for his mother too carelessly.
Tabu on the other side, plays a completely conflicting character after the flick with “Namesake”. She is a woman of substance, intelligent and beautiful, outright yet sensitive. Although, she understands the paranoia her dad, when he would be made aware of her inert feeling for Amitabh, she still sticks to the decision of marrying him.
Paresh Rawal on the other hand is all out with his wit. He not only makes your funny bone tickle but also reminds of our own father who would have reacted in more or less the same way, if being professed by his daughter for marrying a man who was six years elder to him.
I can’t forget the scene when Amitabh confesses his love for Tabu and Paresh is completely awestruck. In not saying anything in the scene, he brings out the complete frightened image of a father who would need to get her girl married to a man who was even six years elder to him. In doing so, he would have to call him “beta” when he himself should have called him “bhaiya”.
I couldn’t stop chuckling all the time in the movie; the story is synchronized splendidly. The mother is typical NRI who believes in pestering his son, and the small witty fairy emerges as a typical next door girl who can fall in love with you over and over again.
I would recommend the movie to each one who has been love or want to fall in the well sometime in your life. Enjoy!
