I do not get to see Hindi movies often in theatres as I am in Brussels. So finally when I got a chance, in our very Indianized London, I couldn’t stop myself.
The last few movies of Dharmesh Darshan have been utter flops. Raja Hindustani was saved only because of the songs. But nothing can save this movie - ’’Hanh Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya’’. The title itself is so ridiculous. And just to keep up with the title of the film, some unnecessary scenes and songs were added.
The start is normal but then the movie starts getting tougher and tougher to bear. AB(Abhishiek Bachhan) and KK (Karishma Kapoor) fall in love in a stupid way. Then they fall apart for a stupid reason. Zabardasti ka roles have been given to Simone Singh and Shweta Menon to add a little mirch-masala to the film. A reason for a breakup, that could well have been hidden from KK but the director decides to let it out to KK in a most hilarious way. As obvious, to get the twist in the story , KK meets AK (Akshay Kumar) - another love story ensues! Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor and a few other comedians have overacted and added to my headache. Couldn’t bear it anymore ... so I went out for a Fanta break. Come back to see that AB has re-entered the scene ... there are some stupid exchange of words between KK and AB. Next thing I know is that KK and AK are getting married. And if I was wondering why this film was so titled, I got my answer ... the song ’’Haan , Maine bhi Pyaar Kiya’’ sung by AB got AK’s attention and he reunites AB and KK.
The plot is not bad at all. The way it has been presented is pathetic. DD ( Dharmesh Darshan ) is exactly like our DD (DoorDarshan) - very boring. If he can direct a film, then I guess any Tom, Dick and Harry can! You would see the actors in their all - time low where acting is concerned. I would blame the director not the actors. So all you AB, AK, KK fans - cheer up!
A few hilarious scenes are - i) When a lady, on her way to Switzerland, describes Switzerland as the best honeymoon spot for Indians. ii) Abhishiek Bachhan following Karishma Kapoor everywhere for a job. iii) Shweta Menon scene iv) the three care-takers of Akshay Kumar and list goes on and on ....
If you are insisted by your BF/GF to watch this movie and can not escape from this, do remember to take a few disprins and a pack of cigarettes (for smokers)! And good Luck!
