I don’t understand why all of them have to do this at the same time. This is the second highly awaited movie in an year with a 60s story line, a bloody commercial motive and with loads of crap anyone can write about for a lifetime. Maybe its because I’ve never watched dramas of the 60s that I’m not able to like any of these. But still, I liked the 60s look of Soha Ali Khan.

Yeah, I like comedies very much. And I don’t like drama much either. But I don’t usually get annoyed at them like this! And this is the second annoying-hindi-drama in a row for me after Om Shanthi Om. Atleast that was a really good laugh! Here’s the story in a non-fictional form:

There is this womanizer superstar, and the star aspirant girl who falls for him and later realizes that she was betrayed. She meets a writer and falls in love with him instead. They try to get married, but his friend and her manager ruins it. The writer becomes a director and asks the heroine to act in his movie which she refuses. So he hires someone else and makes a master piece of a flop. The heroine goes to work with the womanizer hero again. The writer gets annoyed and leaves for London. Meanwhile, the heroine becomes an alcoholic and is diagnosed to have a hole in the heart. Hero comes back after a while makes a movie on his life with the old superstar, the heroine, which becomes a hit. The heroine goes on to die an year later and he becomes a big director.

Now, if they thought it would be nice to change the villain into a good guy towards the end, that is acceptable. But, among other things, the hero’s friend becoming stupid and they having to kill her is really annoying. Anyway, they’ve managed to make one difference by making her death look less touchy by not showing her dieing. Maybe they want to show that heroines can be killed without affecting people’s emotions, but when they havn’t managed to do that, there is no point at all in killing her, as the movie is completely commercial in all other aspects.

The cinematography is good. It was what gave me the patience to watch the movie. There was a shortage of expressions on Soha Ali Khan’s face in several scenes, and those on Shiney Ahuja’s face were strangely similar to those on all his other movies. Other than these, the direction is quite acceptable. The story was bad, but the producers wanted to make money without risking anything. So that is acceptable too.

But personally I would say that crying over one’s own issues would relieve pain better than this.
