I admit it, I have a problem, I'm addicted to Hrithik Roshan movies. There they say admitting it is the first step to recovery. The funny thing is I have no desire to recover! Adding Saif Ali Khan to the addiction spells my doom. These two have a lot in common: they're funny, talented, intelligent, and each gorgeous. It's a good thing they didn't go to high school together! Mr. Khan would have had to pull out his trump card the tiny fact that he's a prince! It's true life is not fair.

Ever since I discovered Bollywood I wanted to see these two in a movie and to prove wishes come true I found this. After reading the synopsis and reviews I was expecting something like "You've Got Mail" "A Shop Around The Corner" and "In The Good Old Summertime" these are favorites of mine, but to be honest the only thing that this has in common with them is the fact that two people fall in love through letters. The differences far exceed the similarities. The most glaring is the tiny fact that our two literary love-birds are not enemies by day! That is the lynch pin of the other films. Rahul and Esha get along great in person, if they weren't so crazy for their paper selves they might have gotten together quickly.

I don't typically laugh-out-loud at movies. I'm defective that way. This movie made me laugh madly so five stars it gets. It does suffer from one big flaw, the sound effects! I don't know why it took so long to ditch the dated annoying sound effects but they had them in this one. Other than that this film is just what a romantic needs. So lets talk performances

I feel like doing ladies first... Esha Deol, is lovely and lively as Esha (why she shares a name with her character I'm not sure) she can handle silly crazy scenes with grace and fun then turn around and handle deep emotional scenes with real sensitivity. She's also a lovely dancer who has no trouble keeping up with the illustrious Hrithik. Okay I can't say every dance was worthy of adulation because not every one was. But it had nothing to do with the dancer's talent. The one very important dance was great fun. Now granted my bias for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan runs deep but Ms. Deol has great chemistry with her leading man. Out of all the leading ladies I've seen Mr. Roshan paired with she's in the top three. Whether she comes in second or third I'll know when I see him with Katrina Kaif.

Now for the most charming "bad boy" I've found in Bollywood films, Mr. Saif Ali Khan. If he ever goes to Hollywood well a lot of American megastars are going to be struck with inferiority complexes. He's got more charm and sex appeal in the tip of his nose than should be healthy. Make no mistake the man knows how to use it! He might not be the most amazing dancer on the planet but he's a very good actor it's not easy to play shallow, self-centered, and oblivious, while remaining likeable. Another Khan (Sharuhk) played such characters in his younger days to massive success, Saif Ali Khan always adds some type of edge or twist that keeps the game fresh. He's the type who makes the very very good girls like me nervous when he smiles. He can charm the devil himself. But don't judge the man simply by his glamorous modern characters. He's capable of a lot more! See "Race" and you'll see a ruthless scary antihero who uses that deadly charm in a whole different context. Like his new bride Kareena Kapoor-Khan there's more to him than high glamour roles. Still Akshay makes you love him even if you can't root for him. It's the charm, it should be classified as a lethal weapon.

Okay I've put it off for long enough, as much as I adore the Nawab of the Khans, Hrithik Roshan is the Shahensha (emperor) of my Bollywood world. He's perfect as Rahul, sensitive, traditional while not being oppressive, he's the angel to Akshay's charming devil. Just don't insinuate that the woman he loves is a prostitute, he gets scary and the bad sound effects happen. I've gushed about Mr. Roshan's talent before and everything I've said still applies. Since I bought two other movies of his I'll save more for later. He's fantastic in this film like always.

Technical review: in the interest of honesty this copy by Eros isn't perfect. The picture can get grainy for a few seconds in spots. They said there's a bonus disk and there isn't. For me this is not a big deal.

Music: for the most part Rajesh Roshan (Hrithik's Uncle) has put together an adaquate if unremarkable soundtrack. There are two wonderful songs. Jaa Sanam Muhjko Hai is exquisite, as is Tum Meri Bahoien Mein Aa Na Sake. Coincedently these are the songs Mr. Hrithik Roshan raved about in his special features interview! That's done in English!

Obviously I like this movie Aa lot. I highly reccomend it.

Romantic Triangle with Hrithik - what more could you need?

2010年9月6日に英国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Similar to "Mujhse Dosti Karoge!", a romantic triangle with Esha (Esha Deol) and Ruhal (Hrithik Roshan) falling in love through their letters and Ruhal only realising who his love is when he has arranged her engagement to his best friend/foster brother Akshay (Sail Ali Khan).

This pretty film begins in a very teenager way, complete with slumber party, and takes a while to get going. Stay with it as the pace picks up significantly in the second half, once Ruhal discovers that, to find love for his best friend, he has broken his own heart (and no one breaks their heart as beautifully as Hrithik). It is worth it for the incredibly romantic sequence of scenes focussed around the too-short little black dress, alone. And, unlike "Mujhse Dosti Karoge!", I understood and sympathised with the barriers keeping our hero and heroine apart.

Esha may not be on an acting par with some of Hrithik's other leading actresses but she is sympathetic and shines with him on the dance floor. Saif plays his typical lovable idiot with ease, providing most of the comedy. The music is mostly pleasant if a little forgettable, other than "Tum" which I loved (helped no doubt by some strong visuals of Hrithik on a lighthouse). And whilst there is the odd peculiar costume choice (Hrithik and Esha's yellow and orange for the music video), there are also some lovely ones (especially Esha's engagement outfit).

So a very pleasant way for the romantic to spend a couple of hours - and if you don't cry a little during the second half, you've a heart of stone.
