Perhaps I would have given this film a higher rating in 2006, for it must have been very unusual then. Today, it appears as a typical Hinglish film aimed at the multiplex audience.
The story is lighthearted. There is no preaching here. And that makes the film and its characters very realistic. The Delhi-Mumbai tug between Rahul and Mallika are entertaining. The love meter was hilarious too. The movie has a good comic feel to it, without ever using exaggeration in desperate attempts. The father in law and Rahul scenes are cute too.
Rahul is sincere, and pulls off the character with ease. He is lovable. Sharat Saxena is dependable as always. Mallika is strictly average. Jas and Sophie are good models, and should stick to that. Ranvir is brilliant as always.
The problem with the film lies in the fact that though it is different, it is also quite routine. Several of the relationships depicted are cliché and predictable. It had the potential to be really fresh which it missed. Having said that, it does not make for bad viewing if you have nothing else to do. Watch it for Rahul and the music.
