Genre: Romance

Eventually both fall in love and get engaged. He returns to India to erase his past marriage with Kajal (Priyanka Chopra) who knows nothing except loving Aarav. Rest is Bollywood drama of Aarav’s choice between the two girls and his career.

Comment:

Oh Boy! What a movie! When did Americans start driving on the left side of the Road? Or didn’t they find anybody better than the Moron Shakti Kapoor to play BMW Chief? The guys in Germany must be pulling their hair apart. Another startling revelation from Suneel Darshan is that there’s no equivalent word for ‘Divorce’ in Hindi. During a game in the movie, Priyanka asks "What's the Hindi word for divorce?" Bobby Deol replies ”Talaq’”. Priyanka says “Nope, Talaq is an Urdu word. We don't have a Hindi word for divorce because the concept is alien to our culture." Bobby loses the bet (which is a kiss) it and then there’s song and dance again. What Trash!

The movie is called a ‘sublime love story’, while it is actually a confusion of an emotional drama. Bobby fits the bill to play the confused guy who during 10 years in a boarding school never saw home, and returns home for just 48 hours, gets married to Priyanka and then flies to USA. What more, Priyanka builds an export business worth crores surprising Aarav. Priyanka who’s at her best should’ve steered away from this apology of a movie. Bipasha fits into the glam-girl/sob-girl role well. Shakti Kapoor, Ha-ha, lesser said the better. Music is passable barring Barsat Ke Din and Nakhre which too are plain.

Rating: 1.5/5 – Just the same sentimental crap always seen at Bollywood. It Sucks.
