Shaadi Kar Ke Phas Gaya, directed by K.S Adhiyaman, is a remake of a Tamil hit, Priyasakhi. Unfortunately, there is nothing innovative in the film. The makers have packaged the same old stuff and despite a few well executed sequences, the outcome is far from credible.
Ayaan [Salman Khan] and Ahana [Shilpa Shetty] are two young people truly in love. With their young hearts beating for each other and love blooming in a big way, the next obvious step for them was to get married. Both were young, independent and above all financially secure. The only difference? Their upbringing and cultural differences! But none of these showed up in their dating period, as love chose to keep such factors a distant away.
Both Ayaan and Ahana had a lot to look forward to from the life that followed. Inspite of Ahana coming from an upper class family with a liberal approach towards a lifestyle, there was not much worry for Ayaan since he too had his upper middle class upbringing to make him understand the varied lifestyle.
Once the sweet period after marriage was through, realization stuck both with number of incidents that truly highlighted the difference in their upbringing and class.
The principal problem with film is that the makers have resorted to the tried and tested formula that has been witnessed umpteen times earlier. The writers seem to have decided to play safe by churning out the same old stuff, but with a brand new packaging.
Although the first half is engaging in parts, the film slides downwards in the post-interval portions. The divorce of Salman/shilpa and the sequences that follow, including Mohnish Bahl staying in Shilpa’s house, seems irrational and implausible.
The second half has several unwanted sequences and how one wishes the editor would’ve used the scissors judiciously. For instance, a lengthy birthday sequence, was just not required.
On the other hand, there do exist a handful of sequences that deserve mention, but individual sequences cannot uplift a mediocre script to great heights.
Daboo Malik’s music is average, with two decent numbers – ’taron’ and ’kuch bhi’. Cinematography is middling. Dialogues are run of the mill type.
Director K.S Adhiyaman does not convince either as a writer or as a director. From the scripting point of view, the film looks like a half-hearted attempt. As for the direction, it’s below the mark as well.
Salman seems to be getting typecast in roles that he has attempted time and again, from Hum Apke Hain Kaun to Hum Saath sath Hain. He tries hard to inject life into his character, but does not rise beyond the mundane level thanks to the predictability. Shilpa is quite good, despite a weak character-sketch.Reema Lagoo is just about okay. Shakti Kapoor is wasted. Mohnish Behl is unexciting.
Skip it!
