It’s the high time Fardeen Khan learnt some acting and Tushar Kapoor did an image makeover, they both are unpleasant to your ears and eyes… Otherwise Govinda, Genelia and Prachi make the movie a must-watch, if you want to laugh (if not your head out) this weekend. The best part of the movie is it doesn’t intend to teach you a lesson – but subtly says divorce is no child’s play either. It shows three different philosophies of marriages – love marriage, arranged marriage and no marrige.
Karan (Fardeen Khan) and Sanjana (Genelia) believe in love marriage, while Bhavesh (Tussar Kapoor) settles for an arrange marriage with Prachi (Prachi Desai). When both the couples are tired of their respective spouses, divorce lawyer Jeet helps them break their marriages. Sanjana is the dump, pampered and rich chick who proves to be a disastrous singer. While her husband Karan is hardworking and has a complete metrosexual approach. However, Fardeen as Karan doesn’t quite suit him as an actor, since hardwork needs dedication too!
For Bollywood’s new-found wife Prachi Desai, playing Gujrati bahu Prachi wasn’t tough – but with the K-serial tag behind, Prachi seldom looks carries the glamour of a film actress. Good son Bhavesh leaves the decision of finding his better half to his parents despite being born and raised a cosmopolitan atmosphere. Bhavesh’s life partner Prachi comes after the approval of his family, but realises that arranged marriages are not wonderful either.
Jeet’s only mission is to break marriages and has achieved a name as a divorce lawyer. He doesn’t believe in the institution of marriage himself and plays a womanizer. Writer-Director Rumi Jaffery undoubtedly strikes a good balance between morality and comedy, but couldn’t hide the fact that his script is inspired (copied) from Hollywood flick ‘Laws of Attraction’ for the Jeet part of it. Jeet, however, fails to look like the divorce lawyer ‘Laws of Attraction’ played by Pierce Brosnan – he peaches well on Niranjan Iyengar’s dialogues. We know Govinda’s comedy acts are a passé yet it continues to tickle your funny bone.
The supposed-to-be disastrous Koke Koke Koyelian is the best among all the songs, though rest of the soundtrack is nothing extra-ordinary.
Now is the time for verdict… With Kaminey releasing on the same day, it’s rather confusing. But at the wake of f(s)ine flu, you won’t mind watching two movies back to back, instead of finding yourself at a crowded shopping mall.
