No! I take it back, this is a fanfic movie for us to fall for him and it works! His chemistry with Isha Koppikar is relaxed and easy, while with Aishwarya it turns from devoted to full on “Oh shit I’m in love and can’t tell her, but I can’t help it either” angsty type with water filled eyes in the dance number ‘Saajan Saajan’ that make you swoon to the floor.Īishwarya is absolutely beautiful in this film. If only his character wasn’t stuck in this silly movie. He is nervous, manic, awkward, adorable, all what women want. Sure anyone would fall for his face in an instant, but it’s his smile, his eyes, his body and somehow the earnest feelings along with his characters questionable motives make it hard to look away.
Like in this movie, adding a dance rehearsal for the films first song number, or having the hero practice how to even say the words “I love you” with the help of his father and best friend to the girl he likes.Īrjun Rampal has the heavy duty of carrying the plot upon his attractive shoulders as Jai. He has a distinct style of honest emotion even in a silly plot, but he also makes the fantasy sequences realistic. He directed movies like Yeh Dillagi (1994) and his latest was Ishq Ne Krazy Kia Re (2015) that seemed to go unnoticed by everyone. The movie is directed by Naresh Malhotra who has directed, edited and produced since the 1970s in a surprising amount of good movies. (You can practically hear the fanfic writers typing the story by these pictures alone and OH SUCH DRAMA!) Now with many more years and movies behind it is a little cringeworthy, but it is a very harmless silly silly movie with swoon worthy beautiful people. At that time I was completely in love with both Aishwarya and Arjun Rampal, I mean just look at the picture below! Both models and both posters for absolute beauty that you can only HOPE you will meet or even better have them sweep you off your feet! So yea, I loved this movie to the songs to the acting. This was one of the first Hindi films that I watched that were easily found on YouTube with English subtitles (they were dark days…bad movies I didn’t know were bad…the music…the plots…oh the horror of naivety!).
The whole plot becomes more problematic, melodramatic and fanficky from there.
Soon an accident happens which makes Tia to loose her memory as she is flung in to the arms of Jai.
Tia and Raj marry and have a son named Anshu. Jai, taking the word “no” badly still tries to see Tia and pursue her. He falls head over heels for her and he believes she feels the same. In one of the schools he supports that he goes to see with his best friend Anita, one for the deaf, he meets the beautiful teacher Tia. Jai is a millionaire who supports many charities. Also if you either want to be dreaming of either Arjun Rampal or Aishwarya Rai then this is the movie for you, just insert yourself in to one of them or just be both if you prefer.
Ever see those soap opera’s on TV or read a fanfic where the plots are nonsensical, the chemistry is between beautiful people, the bad guy is somehow the hero and the melodrama is as high as the lack of logic? Yea, this is that in a movie form.
