Aishwarya Rai shines in otherwise far-fetched Bollywood romance
DHAAI AKSHAR PREM KE is a hopelessly contrived and overly melodramatic musical romance from Bollywood, yet it deserves attention because of its central performance by the reigning queen of Bollywood, Aishwarya Rai. The beautiful Rai is seen to much better effect in such exemplary romantic spectaculars as HUM DIL DE CHUKE SANAM, TAAL, and DEVDAS, but she is quite compelling here playing a girl hopelessly in love with a man pining for someone else and ultimately forced, as she is in so many films, to marry a man she doesn't love. A perennial staple of the melodramatic form is the misunderstanding that escalates to a point where it becomes too late to tell the truth and straighten things out. Here a young college girl from a traditional family, Sahiba (Rai), is rescued, first from attackers and then from a suicide attempt, by Karan (Abhishek Bachchan), a young army captain on leave. He takes her home to her family's rural estate and is assumed to be her new husband and welcomed enthusiastically by all the relatives but the girl's angry father, Yogi (Amrish Puri), who had opposed her going away. With each heart-warming ritual and ceremony, Karan becomes more and more a part of the family even though he is in love with a girl back home and eager to get back to her. Gradually, Sahiba grows to love him and eventually tells him so and begs him not to go. To make a long story (167 minutes) short, Karan runs out on Sahiba only to learn that things at home are not what he thought they were. He returns to Sahiba's home to reclaim her, only to find her about to be married to the son of one of Yogi's business partners. Things take a particularly egregious melodramatic turn when two characters resort to some old-fashioned villainy (all that's missing are twirling mustaches), including tying up two of the protagonists to posts in a factory which is then set on fire. Having proved himself a man of action battling terrorists in the film's opening sequence, Karan gets an opportunity to be a two-fisted, pistol-shooting hero again in the film's implausible finale. With the exception of a magnificent ceremonial number performed by Rai and a number of ornately dressed back-up dancers at the film's midway point, the songs are rather simply staged and consist largely of fantasy duets performed by Rai and Bachchan against exotic Indian backdrops and such far-flung locations as Scotland and Switzerland. The abrupt changes in setting (and costume) are rather jarring and tend to break the mood of the film and slow down the narrative. The film remains worth seeing for Rai's moving portrayal of an anguished village girl who is both eager to break out of her traditional family structure yet is clearly nourished and empowered by the strong support she gets from her mother, grandmother, aunts and uncles. Rai's expressive eyes and mouth convey in heart-breaking fashion the gradual buildup of love for the man who rescued her and her anxiety at the prospect of him leaving. Even amidst the outlandish turn of events on display here, Rai proves what a superb film actress she is, expressing a full spectrum of emotions, from joy and contentment to fear and suicidal despair, never once striking a false note.
Someone's loss is someone's gain
As most Bollywood movies, the plot in this one is not complicated and quite predictable. Nice & shy guy met pretty girl who fell in love with him, but he loved the other girl back home; after the 'girl friend' in his heart got married, guy went back to seek the love he missed... The problem is that hero changed his heart for another girl too 'naturally' after his unspoken love failed. True, someone's loss is someone's gain. Yet what a condescending "gain" for the poor girl who didn't get his love in the first place. Most of the dancing scenes are imaginary and quite senseless. Aishwarya Rai was good at playing such poignant role for sure, but she needs more colorful characters to enrich her performance experience.
Sucked... sucked.. sucked
What are they thinking about when they make drivel like this. No plot, just melodrama, same stereotypes and same typecast actors in same crap no plot movie. Abhishek doesn't belong in a role opposite Ash, he is better placed behind a terminal at Wipro Infotech. On top of that who is that gay dude who comes as Vik to marry Ash and take her money. He is the son of Bhushan from Buiniyaad , yet another historical typecast fellow. The only thong missing was Alok Nath as a a overemotional uncle of Ash. ...Aamir Khan
Aishwarya and Abhishek sizzle in this recycled love story!
Aishwarya stars as a pout-y university girl who accidentally witnesses the murder of one of her classmates and decides to run away from campus or risk being killed as well. Along the way, delirious from her journey and suicidal from thinking about what is to become of herself she meets a charming young man played by Abhishek Bachchan who saves her from these thoughts of suicide. Slowly and steadily (Chori, Chori, Chupke... ah never mind!) she finds herself falling in love with him. It also turns out that she'd once told her auntie on the phone that she was engaged to a man, just to spite her family, so it's no surprise that when the two love birds show up on her parents' doorstep the are mistaken for a couple who is betrothed. I hope this was a good synopsis because you'll have to watch to find out the rest of twists and turns that make up this adorable and fun-loving film! The song number entitled 'Mera ma-hi' is not to be missed! Aishwarya sizzles as a girl gushing about her lover!
Only Average
Karan (Abhishek Bachchan) is on leave from the Army, anxious to see his girlfriend, Nisha (Sonali Bendre). On the way home, he saves the life of Sahiba (Aishwarya Rai), and escorts her home where he is mistaken for her husband. Unable to clear up the misunderstanding, he leaves, but Sahiba has fallen in love with him. The plot, while sometimes unbelievable, is still attention-holding. The supporting cast, including Amrish Puri, Anupam Kher, and Shakti Kapoor, were excellent. Neither Bachchan nor Rai, though, expressed much emotion during the film, and they had little chemistry together. (This is surprising, as they married seven years later.) The music was somewhat above average; the choreography was not exceptional, but was enthusiastically danced. This would have been an above average film, had Rai and Bachchan been more lively.
