The reason for watching this movie was BIG B and the dream girl return. It is obviously nostalgiac to see the two superstars back to screen.Their persona, confidence, aura, charisma and everything that comes on screen makes the younger stars as Salman Khan, Mahima Chowdhury looks like midgets. When one watches a Salman Khan movie, one gets the feeling that he is the greatest. The same applies to the other Khans.
This is not to underestimate their talents, but when they share the same screen with Big B and the dream girl, they themselves seemed to be in awe of their idols. Both Mahima and Salman were even seen offering prayers to their idols Big B and our Dream girl Hema Malini in this movie. This movie also depicts that it can be trendy to be 60+!Wow. Earlier being youthful and trendy meant to be in the age group of 18-25.
Now perhaps we can say one can be youthful at 60+!One can dance and sing Mere Makhna, Mere Soniya or....valentine day special Chalis chalis....! It is very intelligent of Big B of trying strike chord with the youth to win back his popularity. Here he plays his age, yet he appears youthful energetic.Even Hema Malini was looking at her best!And they do not try to pretend that they are younger. They play their age comfortably, even as grandad and grandma!wow! Lets not comment much on the plot. Its simple story. Big B love his wife and family. He retires. His sons are grown ups but live seperately.
Circumstances forces Big B and his wife to live seperately with their childrens. Obviously sepreation makes Big B and Hema Malini longing to be together. ALso their sons were very selfish with their parents and starts taking them fpr granted. Salman Khan is the Big B adopted son.This movie shows that Big B a banker, has invested so much on his childrens, and had planned to rest on his laurels after retirement with them only to realise their selfishness.
All his investments appeared to be useless, it did not multiply!!The irony is that he also he had expected to live happily with his own son, but it is the adopted son Salman who brings him the real happiness as his son! Despite retiring, Big B makes a comeback as a writer in this movie. He becomes famous and he writes about his love for his wife which becomes a bestseller.
Now this part of the movie is obviously not believable, but Big B who is himself famous for countless comebacks in his careers......only he can play such a role andm make it appear realistic! THe plot has nothing to hum about. I think a Rajesh Khanna or Jeetendra had several similar movies. Its the sheer BIG B+ Dream girl magic that works wonders to the plot and direction. I suggest wach this movie with your family, including grandma & grandad!
Pros : BIG B+ DREAM GIRL
Cons: Its not a new & origina story!
