Kuch Meetha Ho Jaaye, directed by Samar Khan, is one of those feel good movies, that you come across in Bollywood, but not too often. Samar Khan was originally with Star television as a film critic, and this is his first foray into the world of film direction.
Arshad Warsi has recently shot into prominence, thanks to some fantastic piece of work, both in Munnabhai MBBS and in Hulchul.
The film, which has Arshad Warsi and Mahima Choudhary as the lead pair, is in fact the story of five or six couples, all with their own set of inter-personal problems.
A teenage couple who meet without the consent of the girl’s parents, a divorced couple getting together every year for their child’s sake, a writer who is on the threshold of divorcing his beautiful wife, an airhostess who is having an affair with the pilot, an antique dealer, and Arshad Warsi, the Devdas style alcoholic, airport manager, of an airport in a remote town Ganganagar, where all the action takes place, in between two flights.
The film has one central theme, and a very relevant and important one too-that today, inspite of all the various methods, equipments and networks available for communication, human communication is perhaps at its lowest ebb. This is the bane of the twentieth and of the twenty first century. One tends to live with another individual for years, and yet fails to communicate one’s feelings, leading to a whole lot of misunderstandings and problems.
Performances wise, Arshad Warsi is excellent, and so is Mahima. The rest of the cast is not bad, with Jaspal Bhatti making you laugh, time and again. The film has its moments of humour too, and does bring a tear to your eye, in certain scenes.
A good clean family entertainer, a few scenes which are smutty, could have been deleted. The music be Himesh Reshammiya is melodious, with the title track and the number ’Bhool Jaayenge Hum’, being the best.
