Ah ha haha…..
Highlights:
Sanjay Leela Bansali made a 2inch by 2 inch set and took the decoration theme from Arabian Nights and Venice. Then he took a story written by some English Author – story name: White Nights. So Arabian Nights, Venice land (lots of water and little land, boatman) and English Author together come in this movie.
First scene of the movie brings to us the sad sob story of Prostitutes waiting for a fairy to come for their salvation. Ranbir assures them of such an arrival by his song.
Ranbir then sees Sonam running helter-skelter from some thugs at around midnight. She is wearing thick randomly tinkling anklets so that when she runs around at mid-silent-night, even the deaf and the mute will be able to hear her and catch her …and ‘do the needful’ dutifully on her I guess !!
Ranbir then asks her why she is out with an umbrella and standing on the bridge. She tells him of her lover. He is shocked for he had already fallen in love with her the last night when he first saw her – love at first sight ! Sonam laughs like a 14 years old silly-pilly girl who has just probably stepped in her adolescence and is restless like a butterfly to know and find out what’s it like to ‘hump’ …well that’s how she behaved !!
He grandmother kept her fixed to her with a safety pin so that she does not run away – but she always escapes without fail at midnight tying her maid to her granny !! Her other occupation is to dust the carpets.
Salman Khan is her lover actually. He was a tenant in her house. She tells her blind granny that Salman is old haggard although he was young! So you see Sonam is shown to be quite clever !! Salman had to leave but gave her the assurance that he will return for her. His return was delayed and thus Sonam was a bit apprehensive….it was at this time that she met Ranbir.
Anyways Salman returns and she runs to his arms leaving Ranbir alone to live with her thoughts for the rest of his life.
The movie was too serious and slow for both the new comers – they should have been introduced as college fellas..maybe then they could have actually competed with Om Shanti Om.
