This is another case of old wine repackaged in a new bottle. It is a clear cut paste job of a 60s film replaced with contemporary actors. The result- a boring, unconvincing, and unemotional film. This kind of story appealed in the 60s and 70s but to imagine a 21st Century girl behaving in this fashion is ridiculous. Need we add that the 'Raja Hindustani' director has completely lost his touch. On the one hand there are filmmakers treading off the beaten track and making bold films on extra-marital relationships while there are some (this director included) who are apologetic about it.

If you have watched the promos it's not difficult to gauge the storyline of this disaster. Two sisters - one married and pregnant (Aarti- Sushmita Sen), and the other (Anjali- Kareena Kapoor) with a loving and doting boyfriend, aspiring singer Indian Raja (Akshay Kumar) are blissfully happy in each others company.

Aarti dies while delivering a pair of twins and little sis takes it on as her responsibility to mother them. This is at the request of her NRI parents (Kabir Bedi and Nafisa Ali) . Didn't know NRIs were so desperate to prove their Indian roots!. Anyway, the dumb girl agrees to and even expects ex-bro-in-law (Aditya- Anil Kapoor) to fall in love with her. She goes to the extent of modeling herself along her dead sister's look. When all this fails, she lectures the uncaring husband.
