First of all, I saw this movie at Aurora theater in Mumbai. It was only at nights that this picture was beamed in the theater. So anyways, i get the tickets for the 9:30 pm show and then leave home at 9:10 pm because I live nearby. So anyways, reached the theatre and was let inside only at 9:45 pm which I didnt mind. So I took my seat which was F-12 and sat down hopin for a good time and prove the reviewers of papers who said that it was a flop movie wrong.
The movie started after the national anthem. The start was the Aap Ki Khatir remixed track which had priyanka and akshaye khanna grooving to the song. As I looked around the theatre I saw that in the balcony where I was sitting there were only about 20 people in the entire balcony section. So the movie began with the telephone ring and a woman asleep in her bed face down. As the telephone wasn’t picked up, the answering machine started and a man started speaking. As soon as this guy finished speaking, the lady was revealed to be Priyanka chopra who got up as soon as she could and before she could talk, the phone was disconnected. After that its a story of how Priyanka has hired Akshaye Khanna to be her escort to her step sister’s wedding just to make her ex- boyfriend Danny(played by Dino Morea) jealous. Akshaye Khanna makes his entry at the airport, he rambles on and on about being from Lokhandwala Complex which is said every single time he meets someone and its sad. In small doses its ok but every single time its a no-no.
The story moves to London where she and Akshaye are at Priyanka’s house which is in preparation for her step-sisters(Amisha Patel who hides a secret) wedding to a business tycoon Kunal(Sunil Shetty in a below-average role). The story is that the step sisters are really good friends and their parents played by Lillete Dubey and Anupam Kher were single parents who married each other for the girls sake. Anyways, Danny(Dino Morea) also arrives at the wedding as Kunal’s best friend.
The rest of the story is as cliched as anything. There were 3 songs before the interval and 1 song exactly after the interval which was really annoying in my opinion. Akshaye Khanna and Priyanka Chopra have some pretty good on-screen chemistry and they do their best to make this movie a little more watchable.Sunil Shetty is wasted in this film and Amisha patel looks horrible with too much make up. Akshaye is pretty good in his role and it seems as tho he is more into comedy films these days. The greatest thing that makes this movie watchable is Anupam Kher in a well etched out role but I don’t know why he would agree to this film in the first place. A average attempt by Dharmesh Darshan in the comedy genre. The music by Himesh is repetitive and other than the title track nothing else is good.Himesh should just go on a loooooong break and return when there is a demand for a new voice.
The story had some potential at the start but after that it just went downhill. Its an average movie, you could take the kids out to watch this and be entertained.
