For obvious reasons, Jai and Anjali pretend to fall in love with each other after their initial rivalry. Lucky (Arshad Warsi) , who is Jai's best friend acts as a mediator. It wouldn't be a Hindi film if Jai and Anjali didn't actually fall in love. But they are aware of their family feud proving to be a major hurdle in the way of their love. How they overcome this forms the crux of the film. If this sounds like just another love story then it isn't! Here comes the director's expertise. He has given it a different twist altogether making it not just a love story but also a family feud and war within families. Love triumphs in the end but in a very non-cliched manner.
Although the film is loud in the climax, like it was in 'Hungama', and has a clear influence of a South entertainer, it will go well with the masses. The mangalsutra scene when everyone is trying to get their hands on it is hilarious. There are so many other scenes that are truly funny but it's not possible to mention them all. The initial scenes between Kareena and Akshaye before they actually fall in love, scenes between Akshaye and Arshad Warsi, and also the duo's interactions with Akshaye's brothers bring forth peals of laughter from the audience. Arshad dominates the comedy track in the first half while Paresh Rawal takes over in the second half. This reminds us of the scene in which Akshaye and Arshad unearth Paresh Rawal's wife of seven years, a well-guarded secret. The entire track in which Rawal tries to convince his other two brothers and his father that he is single is hilarious too. One can keep citing the various funny scenes in the film. |
