The movie opened to cinemas without much fanfare in midst of not-so-catchy trailers and thumbs down reviews. Even my decision to watch this movie was driven by a non-availability of tickets for others. All fears of a goofy, slapstick comedy with cheap songs were coming to fore with the cameo that the movie started with. End of the why-was-it-there Cameo. Enter Om Puri who plays the role of Madhav Mathur, an oldie bachelor who is desperate to get married. The actor makes a bad cut in the character with his acting talents severely suffocated.
He is the friend of Janardhan Rane, played well by Paresh Rawal whose son Gaurav (Akshay Khanna) is the owner of a mall. First few minutes are wasted as the director tries to tickle you hard (without much success) with putting Madhav and Janardhan in almost unconceivable situations that might seem funny for someone with a bad humor.
The storyline suddenly gets a breath of fresh air with the arrival of Genelia D'souza (Shikha Kapoor) who is playing pranks on Gaurav for reasons only the story unfolds. And Priyadarshan has taken us into his charm again. Only this time Genelia's warm smile coming to rescue with a few thoughtfully sprinkled and effective comic sequences. You might actually fall off laughing during some scenes.
Boy meets girl. Gaurav meets Shikha. But in what fashion. The girl taking a revenge for college ragging years ago by pretending to be a ditched girlfriend who happens to be the mother of Gaurav's baby even. Cute, eh? Laughter scores as Gaurav runs berserk trying to find out who is behind his discomfiture. The plight is set straight by the girl and the guy takes it sportingly. But they do not fall in love immediately. Not the girl. But ofcourse the girl gets emotionally attached with Gaurav's father, Baapu. Something is surely brewing.
A humorous first half transforms into a semi-pseudo-serious second half. The much ado is actually about Paresh Rawal's long lost love Anuradha, played by Shobhana, who is incidentally Shikha's aunt. Not much of a role for Shobhana though, the situation does bring up social issues like the remarrying of the elderly and the general apathy towards love marriages. Priyadarshan is able to handle the issue quite beautifully. Now Gaurav and Shikha will bring them together, against all odds. And fall in love in doing so. The story meanders okay, keeping you tied to the seats, waiting for the ensuing excitement.
Amid all the chaos, hulla-bulla, comedy, and some unexciting cha cha between Gaurav & Shikha and Janardhan & Anuradha, Madhav (Om Puri) continues to look for an eligible spinster and always landing in one or the other perplexity with some in your face slapstick comedy moments. In the end though, he is able to hitch up with Inspector Bhawani (played hilariously well by Archana Puran Singh) as they spent so much time together in the police station, the Inspector eternally picking him up from his misadventures.
The film has an happy ending like all Priyadarshan movies. Baapu-Teacher get married. Naseeruddin Shah who plays Shikhas' father brings up a well thought of surprise after throwing in some tantrums about the union of Shikha and Gaurav. Very cute.
Rajpal Yadav's character is also insignificant but he plays it quite well, in his typical style. The movie does not have memorable performances, and indeed not at all an unforgettable storyline. But as a whole, the story is able to make you laugh, amaze at a few very sweet moments that the script throws up and unwind totally. Isn't that what we watch movies for? A sure entertainer, do watch it once.

I've as a last resort liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to kind of fair-minded dish out in days of yore staring at it as a form of catharsis. In a course, it helps me with meditation, to free lay stress and well-grounded assume about nothing. That's why since I was a kid, a substitute alternatively of dolls and cars I've in any case cool more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, tuneful boxes etc. So I was most charmed when I establish the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Light Manifest Laser Top Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com under the Toys section. It's like a musical caddy, a spinning top, and a moonlight show all rolled into one. Which is prodigious amusement! The gyroscope will whirl representing in the air a minute. The laser explanation pretension with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a measure unequalled bauble that my friends be subjected to also been most amused with.
My dogs are also beautiful eccentric prevalent the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They always occupy oneself with the gyroscope as it spins, although at principal they kept barking at the laser slight show, and also because it produces music. But after they got tempered to it, they've stopped barking but virtuous watch over following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also pretty amused nearby it. Occasionally it's proper to maintain entertaining toys on all sides the house so that you can desert the diminutive on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you live fit out scoff or fall heir to changed. The gyroscope is inseparable such trinket with this purpose.
The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a map on it, and produces a light indicate with red, dispirited, and unskilled colours. Nick a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser luminosity show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that expert but facts plenty to consider any chic visitor to the house. The gyroscope is red and raven, making it look particular cool, and somewhat virile with that dragon imprint.
The music dismount attack make clear gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also utilized this gyroscope to stagger my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy chore of decorating the b & b latitude with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as affectionately so that the laser brighten expose produces a fresh effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the understanding effects created a rather dreamt-up atmosphere. She loved it, by the way, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my non-fulfilment shopping placement in return all gifts and ideas in compensation romantic occasions.
Since Christmas is coming, this laser light show gyroscope can possibly be a talented Christmas favour looking for the toddler or methodical the favoured! Alternatively, the gyroscope can altogether be a gracious addition to the traditional Christmas decorations. I can presume placing it adjoining the Christmas tree and perchance spinning it when guests hit town in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my function thus far again!
