Is love being able to spend most of the time together, happy times; be opposites but still feel complete without the other because they complete each other; want to keep each other happy and smiling.
And is it possible that despite having all these things the two concerned people don’t know it? Then again if love were so easy, it couldn’t be love. Or could it?I don’t know what it is with this movie; script ok ok, newcomers, the best performance is by a dead man in a portrait played by Naseerruddin Shah; music ok ok, (little disappointing for a Rahman movie); script ok ok, nothing too great. But still there is something which makes you not want to get up from your seat; I guess it’s like what Abbas Tyrewala said “it’s a movie with clichés, but in a very non cliché manner”.
The first half way better than the second, it has the gripping affect, to a certain extend. The flashback trail starts at the airport; and then the journey starts: a funeral, Juhu beach, fight in the college canteen, home to a talking portrait, farewell party, the pub, a painter’s room, the police station fights at parties, on a horse to the airport; with short glimpses of a black stallion in the middle of a desert in search of justice. The second half is where all the clichés add up and get caught on to each other.
Imran Khan (Jai) gives justice to the character, and proves to become a true Ranjhor ka Rathore after all. Genelia D’Souza is the pampered brat whom you just want to kill at times, but looks as cute and fragile as need be. Prateik Babbar’s acting deserves a mention; small role but played to the T: a useless, not-to-do-well nothing. As I’ve said before, the best performance is still the dead man in a portrait hanging on the wall. Overall, decent movie, worth the ticket’s movie. Just don’t go in with too many expectations.
Jaana, dil, jaana kaise maine na jaana,
Ke pyaar yehi hai, yeh jaane tu ya jaane na…
