Dil Ka Rishta seems to be intresting as it starts off and is intresting till the first half. But as the second half starts, how much u feel it could have been much better. It is just another one of those feel good cinemas. But it really builds up ur expectations in the first half. The story is nothing new. We have seen many movies telling this same ol’ tale. In fact Tum Bin was a better movie running on the tracks of same story line. While watching the second half, I couldn’t help wondering, ’Why wasn’t Anubhav Sinha directing this one?’ The scenes where Jai & Raj confront each other could have been given a more memorable touch. Those could have helped to show Jai haunted by the past memories effectively. But the present scenes in the movie showing Jai’s guilty conscious don’t go very far to touch the viewer’s heart. Anita (Isha Kopikar) no one is bothered about her death except a single scene where Jai cries thinking about her. But then that’s that.
Music is pleasant to ears. The ’Dayya Dayya’ number has been coreographed very well. The rest of the songs are hummable too. Cinematography is a key point. Ashok Mehta has done a good job with his camera work. Director Naresh Malhotra leaves an impact with some good scenes but soon loses grip in the second half.
On the acting front, Arjun Rampal has improved a lot from his earlier films. Aishwarya Rai is lovable as ever. Rakhee is first rate. Paresh Rawal entertains. Isha Kopikar proves her acting skills in her cameo role.
The 3 star rating goes mainly for the first half. The second half disappoints. Watch it only when u have ample of free time.
Overall an okay dokay movie which could have been much much better.
