As I wonder or rather ponder as to what I should begin blogging with, I finalise with the film review of Shaadi Se Pehle, the movie I saw last night. Though I confess that this is not the perfect subject for launching me as a writer (something that I want to do in life!), the urgency to start blogging forces me to do so.
Well getting back to the subject, Shaadi Se Pehle has a run-of-the-mill story. Akshaye Khanna and Ayesha Takia are happily engaged until Akshaye overhears his doctor’s (Boman Irani) conversation with another doctor and assumes that he suffers from cancer. In an attempt to make Ayesha hate him, (as he knows once she discovers this she will still marry him), he pretends he is attracted to Mallika Sherawat. After many melodramatic scenes with Mallika and a suicide attempt realizes, Akshaye realises he truly loves Ayesha and Mallika sacrifices her ‘true’ love for him.
So now that you have heard that the story, you’d realize that it has nothing new to offer. But I have yet another bad news to break. The movie is not even packaged well. Apart from a few good scenes here and there like the crematorium scene and the scene where Akshaye is trying to get a job, the movie is quite boring. Besides good actors like Boman, Gulshan Grover and Mita Vashisth have not got a substantial roles to showcase their talent. Also the music is not captivating. Looks like Subhash Ghai has lost his sense of what will work with audiences.
But there were a few surprise elements in the movie that are worth a mention. For instance, Rajpal Yadav’s shaiyari and Boman Irani’s Parsi dialogues. Though the two are brilliant in the movie but I am sure they won’t be successful in saving the movie.
