Mann - remake of It happened one night - a Holly film !

Overall Rating
Mann

Flamboyant and flirtatious Karan (Amir Khan) falls in love with a simple girl - Manisha and breaks off his engagement with the rich multimillionaire's daughter !

He reaches the streets – becomes kinda beggar – living hand to mouth - but because it's a movie – he begins to paint and becomes a famous and rich painter. All this within one year. Manisha meets with an accident and loses both her legs. She decides not to meet Aamir after all and be a burden on him all his life.

But Aamir meets her and comes to know of her accident and marries her ! Thus gets paid for being an incorrigible ,flirtatious womanizer all his life….now stranded for life with a physically handicapped woman !!

Gosh! Why the Dream Merchants show such impossible ,stupid and mushy concepts ! Here Indian men (many of them) are dying to have extra marital affairs – are having and are pretty bold about the fact and publicly proclaim that they have couple of ‘whores' taking care of their ‘sexual needs' – in spite of having good looking educated wives and children ..even grand children …and here the dreamy story teller is implying that an ex-womaniser becomes so sacrificial and good that he readily accepts to marry handicapped Manisha !

Anyways, if this movie was a hindi TV serial – they would surely have shown how Amir manages to spend 2 months with handicapped Manisha and then he starts to develop an intimacy with her Nurse…(like shown in the movie Jism - Gulshan Grover's wife is ill and Bips the nurse comes in for his rescue!).Manisha comes to know but can do nothing about it and silently gulps down tears of insult….but actually has to compromise with the situation. Later her hubby will have 3-6 more affairs with his fans (he was an ex-womaniser – remember? ..old habits die hard !) – but for the society, the physically handicapped Lady is his wife. People will continue to rave and rant about the man's commitment to his good for nothing wife …and even if they come to know of his affair with available ‘whores' they will only call it ‘But natural'! – at least he has given the position of ‘wife' to Manisha !!….all the dumb bimbo Indian women will then start Hero worshipping sacrificial Aamir !

Basically average Indian women are dark, short and more or less ugly to look at – but they are very learned and understanding – thus they happily co-exist with their hubby's ‘kept' ! Men have certainly marketed themselves very well – ages ago it was through physical strength that they kept women under them…and now its through such mushy stories……marketing false hopes and dreams….but still making women dance to their tunes !

End of Serial.
