We are in 2004 , A year where Indian movies well known due to high production values, talented actors & actresses and to their uniqueness. Now why I am saying this ?? The answer is :
The movie is about a Punjabi family settled in the UK where they forgot all their values and traditions, this family lives under one roof where they act like strangers.One day , the family's friend Dr. Verma (Anupam Kher )asks his friend Mr.Khanna ( Kadar Khan ) to let his niece stay with his family for while no longer than a month because he has to attend a conference in America..
The movie is focusing on the relationship between the beautiful niece Mahek ( Richa Pallod )and her host family, especially with Mr. Khanna younger son Sunny ( Rakesh Bapat ).. Now that's the story which is a typical story in Indian movies .. BUT what makes some movies HITs and other FLODs is the way this typical story is presented ..
This movie lacks the spark , the events accelerate in first half hour in unbelievable way.. What I mean is, In less than a month, our nice beautiful girl who is always right changed the whole family and taught them the true Indian tradition eg. Sweeti, Sunny's niece is so spoiled who changes her boyfriends in less than a week like changing her socks and when Mahek teaches her in 1 event ( Yaeh, Just 1 ) to respect her grandmother and to stop dating ... Come on , the girl lived all her life in England and a stranger in 1 event succeeded to change her values .. Too much
The cast is fine but not great.. Big names like Anupam Kher + Khader Khan but such a waste and a shame in this movie .. Rakesh Bapat ( Sunny ) and Richa Pallod ( Mahek ) aren't new comers but it is their first leading role and as a matter of fact , they need more time and extra acting classes before casting in lead roles ( In some scenes , they overact which are laughable ). The songs are average , only a few catched my ear.The cinematography is really poor where some songs are really bad directed and lack the atmosphere. One IMPORTANT fact, our hero and heroine CAN NOT dance!!!!!.
When I first watched this movie , I thought I went to the wrong one because i thought it was directed in the 1980's .. Still now , I can't believe that the movie was directed this year ..
Finally.. If you have a spare time , where you don't know what to do and after thinking of every possible solution .. Rent this but don't expect much ..
