A completely inane and clumsily executed movie, ‘What’s your Rashee’ is a huge disappointment from the Ashutosh Gowarikar camp.

Yogesh Patel, a Gujarati NRI, has to marry in a hurry, so that he can inherit his grandfather’s property to save his family from ruin. Under pressure, he agrees to run through a list of 12 girls belonging to various zodiac signs. Finally, he settles on one, while his money problems are miraculously solved.

What could have set the framework for a hilarious romantic comedy soon becomes a tedious drag. A few situations and dialogues are funny, especially in the first half, but the repetitive jokes soon begin to sound pathetically tragic. Some of the characters overlap, as the writer-director runs out of ideas. Why he has to wrap each girl around a song is unclear. Many of them appear to be conceits of zodiac representatives.

At some point, the director loses control, and leaves a lot of untidy loose ends. For instance, how does such an astrological family let the boy choose his bride, instead of matching horoscopes? The plot comes across as impossibly artificial.

The one saving grace of the movie is Priyanka Chopra, as she changes a character with each name. She not only tries her valiant best to appear different, but even manages to reflect the different nuances of each zodiac representative, as she switches from serious to bubbly to sorrowful within minutes. Harman Baweja is expressionless, and sleepwalks through his acts. 

One or two musical numbers are pleasing to the ear, and the songs could have been a refreshing package from Sohail Khan, had they been fewer. As it is, there are at least 14 songs! They are no value-add either to the movie, or to the plot or characterization, but slow down the flow.
