’’Why was this movie even made??’’ This is the question that has been plaguing me ever since I walked out of the theatre. Absolutely un-original with no feelings and and no chemistry between its lead pairs, this movie just manages to irritate the hell out of us.
So what do we have here? Vivek Oberoi is Arjun - a nogood, lazy slacker who spends his days doing nothing but sponging off his richie-rich parents. (Om Puri - Rati A) He is also a race car driver of some sort ..... but that is too confusing so lets not go there. He is also prone to mouthing a strange dialog that goes - haar aur pyaar Arjun ke dictionary main nahin hain!!!
I absolutely love it when our kaamchor heroes are shown attending office with Daddy dearest when they suffer some heartbreak. Whats up with that????
Aishwayra is Diya - coffee plantation heiress cum wannbe social worker. She comes to Mumbai to appear for some vague examination and ends up staying with Arjun and fly.
The usual filmi bullshit ched-chaad occurs and Diya falls in love with Arjun but he gives her a LJBF dialog. She is heart broken and returns home. And for some reason, he follows her there.
Here we meet ’’Uncle’’ - Amitabh B, who runs an orphanage full of those over-smart kids the filmwallahs think are cute, but who we just want to strangle. He plays cupid to the two idiots and alls well that ends well. But not before some rather shitty going-ons including the special apperance of ’’he-who-must-not-be-named’’ to add some more spice to the proceedings. Well, nothing new going on there, the movie doing a downward spiral continues on its way and reaches the pits anyways.
The climax must be the most puke-worthy in recent times notwithstanding the competition from some other worthies in recent weeks.
Now to the performances - Rai is back with her usual drop-dead gorgeous dimbette mode. This dame won the Ms India title some ten years back and has been infliciting her 3 and half acting expressions on us since then (and winning awards and making money along the way!!!!). Nothing new expected from her and she does not disappoint.
Vivek is back with his cool dude act - which was rather endearing when he played opp Rani in Saathiya and is now just smarmy and caddish here. He needs to get his act together soon.
Amitji, as it is Bade Bhaiya and Chote Bhaiya have saved ur arse and ur co from downfall. Plus with all the moolah flowing in from ur umpteen endorsements , I am sure u can afford to skip an occasional movie or two. PLEASE ..PLEASE ..STOP EMBARRASSING URSELF AND US IN THE BARGAIN...
And Om Puri ... I doubt if u have the financial freedom that AB has, but still - a humble request from a fan...please leave such crap to the others ....please....
The cinematography is fabulous and music is just so-so, except for the main song which is just beautiful.
Sameer Karnik has apparently got some hi-funda degree in International Relations from some US univ and all that, but decided to chuck it all for his true love - movie making. Our loss all the way - considering the dredge that he has come up with. Dude, please go back to wherever u were and leave us alone!!!!!
Guys and gals, listen to me ...stay at home and chill out, cos at the end the movie is like a huge and macabre joke on us......
