I thought a film with a cast involving Yami(yummy) gautam, Anupam kher, Kirron Kher and Ali zafar would be a laugh riot. After watching the movie, I would like to ask the producers for my money back.
Basic plot is Indian girl takes pakistani Boyfriend to meet her family. I wont divulge any more details as it will rob you of the little joy you will get when you watch this movie. At first I thought this was going to be funny like meet the parents but by the opening 15 minutes it becomes very clear that the director and producers have not taken any effort in ensuring that the cinema goers enjoy themselves.
The only saving grace of this movie was that Yami gautam does a decent job with what she was given and so do Anupam kher and Kirron kher. Anupam kher's talent is hardly used in this movie. I am trying to find something positive to say but nothing comes to mind. The movie is filled with the same old clichéd characters like a loud mouth punjabi mother- in-law, a hateful brother-in-law, a seductive sister-in-law etc. There are hardly any funny moments. All we get are a couple of lame cricket jokes and a racist British cop. Establishing characters in a story that takes place in a span of a few hours or a day is not possible without sharp, insightful writing.
This film was supposed to be a romantic comedy but where was all the Romance? and the less said about the comedy, the better. Did the director really think that the audience would believe that an NRI couple from London, kiss each other by placing a hand in between their lips? If anyone is able to record that kind of kiss in the real world, please be kind enough to e-mail it to me.The film makers did not take any kind of risk in the movie and steer clear from any sort of indo-pak politics or any other important topics. To be honest the movie turned out to be a total bore-fest. Even the songs were uninteresting and I would have fast forwarded if it was possible.
When I walked out of the theater, I didn't have an inkling of an idea what the film makers were trying to create here. It could have been a fun and memorable movie if it had ended up in the right hands but it wasn't to be. I am giving it 2 stars out of 5 only because I cant bring myself to rate a movie having Anupam Kher in it any lower. Give this movie a wide berth.Cheers, Glenn Jimson
