A story with loud caracters like the protagonist,
Abhishek B. aka Ricky Thukraal.
Its a simple tale of girl meeting boy and how it would
look when two very unlikely people will fall in love due
to everyday mundane circumstances like the train being
late (its a regular feature here and I seem to have run
out of my luck with the ladies).
Due to this
Ricky a typically loud Bhatinda types (even his cell
ringtone is lewd) is forced to wait with an uneaten
sandwich roll and the propah Brit girl of paki origin
Ms. Alvira Khan (preity Zinta) for company, after a few
intrance of stray hate shown very unconvincingly, the
two set talking about there supposed 'fiancees' whom
they have come to receive.
Amitabh Bachchan
Lara Dutta
Priety Zinta and Bobby Deol
Abhishekh, Lara, Priety &
Bobby
If it happens like that
every Tom dick & Harry will board the first flight of Air
France to the Ritz Paris, and make freinds with the sexy
and refreshing Anaida (Lara Dutta a huge improvement) and
break into a dance literally at the drop of the
hat (beautifully choreographed and grand use of cine
canvas), and as for allo its superman forever, strangely
they are focusing on the statue of batman in the kiss
song between her and Stevey wonder (Bobby well restrained
and convincing). Well there is 'Twist' in the tale
around the half time with the unlikely fella very much
in love and pehle aap sydrome and the Aao Twist karen
finale.
Our own Big B is thrown
in for good effect and to carry the story forward in
exactly 5 instances with his very Brit dance troupe
breaking into an impromptu jig whenever he appears in
his what is known as cross dressing (NO DONT JUMP TO
CONCLUSIONS!!!) a cross between the desi Banjara and a
Brit vagabond at least the locale of the movie is kept
in mind. Strictly to be seen by youngsters who should
learn from what a tryer our bollywood badshah is and
carry on so many uncovincing and inconsequential roles
with elan . Rest of the acting is as follows.:
Abhishek-- loud and lewd.
Preity ---- pretty but unconvincing, NOW WHAT'S WITH THE
MINIS PREITY?
LARA ---- fresh & sexy but it seems yashraj ran out of
ideas on how to dress a former
miss universe.
Bobby --- restrained
