Cast: Rishi , Avantika


The film is a romantic love story but it lacks the intensity of love that is effortlessly depicted by top stars of bollywood. Producer Pahlaj Nihlani tried to get back to his stand in bollywood through the film taking up debutants in lead but none of the actors he selected is dazzling and well versed in romancing onscreen. The script of the film is not new and has loopholes with unrealistic twists and turns and a debutants love story should have the finest love songs that the movie lacks.

The story of the film is about a successful man Raghunathan ‘Raghu’ Aiyer who has finished a project with his company and is preparing to go to New York. But before going to New York he has to finish a part of his project in Chandigarh. A professionally successful youngster ‘Raghu’ goes to Chandigarh and he is roaming in streets to accidentally meet a local Punjabi girl Pinky – a student of photography who adopts all western ways of living but is Punjabi at heart.

Both hero and heroine meet each other at some places and the couple gets into a one night stand relation that makes Pinky pregnant and she decides to give birth to the child .It looks as if Rahgu is disinterested in the girl but he decides to stay at the place to meet Pinky’s family, that comprise of five brothers and a strict father. The sequence looks unrealistic and forcefully imposed.

One day unexpectedly Raghu makes up his mind and he feels that he has got the right girl into his life and his parents reach the place to see their Punjabi daughter-in-law. Raghu’s parents find that the place is not fit for them because it has cow and dog as pets. After many family disruptions, unions, re-unions, a decision of marriage takes place.

In all these drams the audience couldn’t get even a single “emotionally touchy moment “to feel they watched a worthy romantic family movie. The costumes of lead artists are not up to latest fashion. This kind of movie should have at least two to three extremely attractive costumes. The director tries to make the screens look beautiful but lacks a grip on performance of actors.

The performance of debutant Avantikka is ok and Rishi had a lot of burden and he couldn’t perform like any of the good actors. The film is below average in outcome.

Rating: 3/10
