Mere Jeevan Saathi (2006) Reviews
Decent story; Karishma is a show stealer
Okay, so we all know this story is not the most original one around being quite similar to the likes of Fatal Attraction, Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya, Aitraaz, Gupt, etc. However, one thing that set this movie slightly apart is Karishma's character. She is more realistic and is not portrayed as simply an evil vamp. All characters are shown to have gray shades. Akshay is shown to fall into temptation and lust resulting in him having an affair. Amisha is not Miss Goody-Goody Indian housewife but admits that she will not be able to trust Akshay completely after what he's done. Karishma doesn't go on a murdering rampage to kill Amisha but is frustrated and feels defeated by the failure of her sincere love and feelings. All three characters are shown to be more realistic. Karishma's performance is absolutely magnificent, though it can be debatable if it's as good as Priyanka in Aitraaz. The title song and "Jabse Mile Ho Tum" are quite melodious tracks.
"Fatal Attraction" Meets "Aitraaz" & it's NOT a pretty picture!
I am sorry to say that I actually had some expectations of this movie. Being Karisma's first film in some years. BUT this film did NOT DELIVER! I was disappointed with the plot, and the way that the story unfolded. The story could have been a real success if the script had been better. The characters where dull, accept for Karisma who does the Glenn Close/Fatal Attraction thing, quite convincingly. I thought that if they had not made the movie such a cliché it would have been better. It would have been far superior if the guy went to NYC, and finds himself attracted to another women, and starts a relationship with her. (NOT have a one night stand, and then start wondering how he's going to get out of it!) If he's torn between his love and loyalty for his long standing girlfriend and his attraction and passion for a stranger,it would have made the story more interesting. The story as it is could have worked too, if the girlfriend had not been portrayed as a saint, and the inevitable "I can die for him, can you"? competition had not irrevocably ruined things! Obsessive love has been portrayed in a very successful way in films many times. There is no reason that it could not have been done here. But the plot and dialogues are too mediocre and aside from Karisma (even though sometimes she was a bit over the top), the rest of the acting was mediocre at best. Especially Akshay who is a talented actor who can do better. He really needs to break free from these "up and coming rock star" roles. He has outgrown them and he's selling himself short by continuing to portray them. Amisha Patel does her worst acting to date in this film, and she looks insipid and down right annoying! Once again the Indian film manages try to insult and undermine Western Culture by suggesting that "one night stands" are the norm in America. (And consequently in the Western World) which is NOT quite accurate. Akshay's character tells Karisma that she is an American and one night stands are the norm in her country.Therefore, she should stop making a fuss about feeling "used".Karisma has to qualify that she is an American of "Indian" ethnic origin, as a way of justifying her feelings of outrage at being used for sex and discarded. When will Indian films stop undermining Western culture, and portraying the west as morally bankrupt, as means of showcasing their own superiority? The music was all right. I only liked one song. "Jab Se Mile Ho Tum", which actually took the plot forward and showcased Krisma's character's feelings very well. The lyrics and music of that song are n-sync. The rest of the songs where un-memorable. My overall feeling about this film is disappointment. At the end of it I was left wondering what went wrong!
Rubbish
This is a dreadful film.... I cannot forgive anyone in the making or acting in this film... The end was just the thing i was hoping did not occur... stupid people and their stupid thinking it was by no means a good ending or any decent ending... Some people in this film should have died ages ago that did not happen and just lead to more time wasted watching this movie... Karisma looked good but even she could not deliver in this appalling film, the other actress A Patel, well we all know she cannot act anyway but god damn was she bad in this film or what... It felt like a theatre rehearsal that went really bad... Why wasn't A patel killed?? More anger, more death better script would have been good... 'Anjaam' the movie should have been used as guidance. Akshay has a major role but is sidelined by poor dialogues, script and poor selection all together... People who conceived this film and thought its good should be executed... The best sequence is Karisma's dance on glass.. thats what gets it a one out of ten i would have given it a zero otherwise.

I tend to avoid Suneel Darshan films because they are usually pathetic. The reason why I gave this one a go was because I'd heard that Karishma Kapoor was doing a negative role and I wanted to see how she pulled that off. Karishma really hams her way through (like she does in almost all her films) by overdoing her seductress act. Kudos to the person who accurately describes her as a combination of a stoned Marlene Dietrich and the psychopathic rabbit from 'Watership Down'. Due to lousy dialogues and bad direction Akshay Kumar's performance does suffer. Perhaps he just did the movie as a favour because he looks as though he could care less. Amisha Patel isn't acting. She's rehearsing for a soap opera. 'Mere Jeevan Saathi' may have made for an episode of a TV soap. The songs are plain boring but I liked 'Mashooka' because of its catchiness and Alisha Chinoy's voice. There isn't much else to say regarding this film because it's all atrocious.
Worst Film of the decade..Karishma makes a disastrous comeback
This is simply one of the Worst Bollywood movies ever made. Planetbollywood.com have announced this as the Worst Film of the year. I believe its one of the Worst Films ever made coming from a director who usually makes good or decent movies. It Truly is disappointing to see a talented Actor Akshay Kumar, who is going throw a series of Big Hit movies in his career, suddenly adding this Super Flop in his filmography. The movie marks a comeback for Karishma Kapoor, who plays an obsessive character, which has been repeated hundreds of times already in Bollywood. Karishma tries to impress in scenes by overacting just like her previous films (Biwi No.1, Ek Rishta, Dulhan hum le jayenge, Hum saath saath hai ETC) Good scripts gone to waste. The movie also stars the very sexy Amisha Patel, but even she couldn't save the film. For those who haven't seen this movie, its a simple tale about a married man who gets successful with the help of a woman. The woman now wishes to marry him buy going through desperate measures, including killing herself. The Main reason this filmed bombed was the ending where Akshay marries her dead body, and his wife happily accepts this? I really hope Bollywood will make these dreadful movies but it keeps coming back. What is Bollywood gonna think of next
