Some films are to be watched in cinemas, some on TV, some with children in a classroom, some in the comfort of your room as you sip your coke and eat some popcorn. But, What’s your rashee? can be seen only if one is inquisitive about how bad a movie can get.
Yogesh, played by Harman Baweja, is an MBA and part-time DJ living in Chicago. He is summoned home by his panicky parents and brother.
The brother has borrowed over Rs four crore from various sourcesincluding some unsavory bhais and must pay it back or else, the bhaiswill starts severing his fingers.
Yogesh’s maternal grandfather is going to bequeath him some seriouswealth on his marriage. So the family and eventually a reluctant Yogeshdecide that he must marry, inherit the wealth and pay off the debts.
Yogesh thinks he will find some semblance of love if he meets one girl from each of the 12 Rashis, because he tells us, there are only 12 kinds of girls in theworld. A bore and a drag. One can expect much better product from Ashitosh Gowarikar. A complete disappointment. Looks like he made this film at a gunpoint or simply someone paid him too much money to make this piece of trash.
After looking like Hritik Roshan in Love Story 2050, Harman Bawaja looked like Emraan Hashmi in this film. When will he find himself. It’s time he asks what’s my rashee and who am I?. He fails to emote and has the same standard expressions throughout the film.
Priyanka Chopra was the only saving grace, but even that fails to impress the viewers completely as some of the character roles seemed repetitive.
As for the script, there is nothing in it except boring lengthy songs with almost every character Priyanka Chopra plays. The director and the script writer have tried to test the patience level of the audience. One can walk off the film and comeback after an hour and still not miss anything. This was the first time that I didn’t mind children screaming during the screening of a film.
Even the content was badly researched and developed. Priyanka Chopra’s character mostly changed by profession and clothes only. There was no emotional connect. Looks like the writer opened Wikipedia for his primary research.
Overall, it is not worth watching even once. If your girlfriend / boyfriend insists watching it even on TV, make sure you have your Ipod handy.
