Dulha Mil Gaya

Since I discovered Bollywood when I arrived to Holland, found out they were subtitled in English,, so over the last 13 years I have been collecting them, last weekend I stumbled over a huge box full of Bollywood DVDs so hubby bought them for me, among the DVDs in the box was this film I am reviewing,I found it delightful, I am a huge SRK fan, I think he gets better with age LOL But to be honest the "leading man" was a disappointment, the young actress that played his Punjab wife was lovely and quite good ..I look forward seeing more of her. I loved the costumes that Shimmer wore, she had such beautiful clothes. I am a bit confused,I thought the movie took place in Miami Florida, but some one said Trinidad. I rate this a seven, it was a perfect movie for a rainy day.

I bought this movie with several other Bollywood flicks and didn't know what to expect from it. I liked it from beginning to end. Yes it's another un-believable Bollywood story, but if you watch this movie you know what to expect. The characters are reasonably well developed, even their motivations are well developed. Sushmita / Shimmer is the center character, making all others meet and interact. Her character is a celebrity hungry top model, but she soon befriends a young woman who was deceived by her new husband, who happens to be Shimmer's best friend. Then the Bollywood effect occurs and situations go on as characters have to react to them and delve into their inner feelings. The whole thing is well acted, led by Sushmita with strength and class (and awesome beauty).

First of all Iam not a Fardeen Khan or Sushmita Sen fan....and this movie was the last choice to see on a Boring day.

And what a surprise....This movie was actually good....Sushmita Sen acted so good, and looked so good and even Fardeen Khan was good in the movie.

BUT the scene stealer was the new girl....she is Beautiful...and her acting was top-notch....Iam sure we will see more of her in Bollwywood, and maybe she might be one of the Top ladies in Bollywood.

The story has been seen before BUT still this movie has soul, and that made it good...and SRK's role was actually very good.

all in all a Very good surprise, I went to the cinema for killing 2.5 hours and came out with a smile and a good experience.

Forget VEER, this movie is much better.

hands down one of the worst Bolly movies I've watched in a while, if not ever. Predictable. Boring, Shallow. The songs are meh. The acting is really awful. The stereotypes makes your eyes water. Putting SRK on the poster is stupid, since he basically features all of 10 minutes.

The story is highly predictable. Not even an interesting or smart twist anywhere.

The characters are not believable. This is the first time I've seen Fardeen Khan, and I hope to never again. I enjoy Sushmita Sen, and I really loved her in Main Hoon Na, but here, her character is loathsome. Her character is not explored, and the tiny bit of change at the end, is not enough to redeem her. Samarpreet's Pretty Woman transformation is totally ridiculous. A blind man with a cane could tell she's the same girl.

The only characters I had an iota of emotional connection with, was Samarpreet's aunt and uncle.

Donsai's character development is unrealistic. Hussain Bhai was a way better human being than Donsai will ever be.

SRK, for all his awesomeness, couldn't even pull this out of the dustbin. You could see on his face he didn't want to be there.

Kind of annoyed that I spent data on buying this movie.

A rich jerk who is completely unlikable is forced to marry a woman he doesn't like in order to inherit a huge fortune. He does marry the woman, but pretty much lives his own separate playboy lifestyle. So, according to this film, it's apparently up to her to convince her jerk of a husband to love her by tricking him.

"Dulha Mil Gaya" is not so much a movie and more an assault on your senses. The first 20 minutes is like a giant music video...with even less depth. It's so self-consciously hip that it doesn't matter that there are folks who might watch the film who are older than 25 and who don't want to watch such a loud and brash story...and so when the story begins, you find you just don't care. This is because while it's supposed to be a romance, it's hard to build a romance atop of such shallow, obnoxious and rich young jerks....and the film abounds with jerks, not real people. In fact, I found myself hoping against hope that the music would stop and folks would act like REAL people...and after a while I just gave up. Overall, a film designed for a 16 year-old with severe ADHD....loud, brash and unlikable.

By the way, do NOT assume I hate Bollywood films. I've seen hundreds and adored most of them. But I have found one style that is very off-putting (much like this film) where the characters are just so shallow and annoying and cocky that you tire of them very quickly. It's a shame that Shak Rukh Khan, a very good actor, got involved in this dopey project...he's just better than this.
