Raj Malhotra (Salman Khan) plays a rich and decent guy . He falls for Priya (Rani Mukherjee) in a friend’s marriage ceremony but he thinks she is to be married .A marriage proposal follows from a family and Salman meets the same girl he had fallen for in the marriage- Priya. The two get married and soon Raj discovers that he is going to be a proud father. The entire family is besotted. But unfortunately Priya has a miscarriage .The other side of the story follows that Priya can never conceive again. This secret is shared only between Raj, Priya and the doctor .
But as you know what happens in the indian families. Salman and Rani decide to adopt a child but the grandfather talks about his own grandchild. So they decide to look for a surrogate mother Priety Zinta who acts as the surrogate mother. She agrees to do the needful in return for money.
Salman has definitely matured as an actor . Priety’s role as a prostitute and a change over to a woman has been acted as well as executed very well. Rani shows a fine performance. Both women look gorgeous. Amrish puri, Johnny, Farida jalal and others lend adequate support.
First half of the film is more interesting. Second half slows down a bit because the story becomes predictable.
Directorially, Abbas-Mustan are excellent. They have extracted some very fine performances from the actors and some of the scenes are very well executed. But personally they are better with suspense thrillers like Baazigar and Khiladi than with a family drama. Effects used in the title track are short but good. Songs for a change are rightly placed and lend adequate support to the story movement.
Music of Mr.AnuMalik is good and the songs had caught on much before the film release. Title track, Mehndi, Deewana Hai Yeh Mann stand out.
With a good publicity and a hype created much before the release it should find acceptance in our audience. Besides there have been no releases till the last week of the month. The trio- Salman Priety and Rani should hit the bull’s eye again. By the way never mind even if it’s a remake of a old hindi film Doosri Dulhan
This movie is definately worth to see
