Bipasha Basu in 'Barsaat' |
He had been forced to marry his childhood friend, Kajal (Priyanka Chopra), by his parents. Now Arav wants to divorce her so that he can marry Anna. Initially Kajal avoids the issue but gives in when he tells her about his marriage plans with Anna. Soon Anna and her grand-father fly to India for the marriage. By then, Arav has fallen in love with Kajal. The end is predictable but very stupid.
The film has major flaws that seem unpardonable in the age of modern cinema. Not much seems to happen in the first one hour. It's like a routine love story with free flowing songs. Fortunately the pace picks up a bit, post-interval. But still it isn't enough to make an impact. In an age of mobile phones and emails why does Arav keep in touch with his family back home only through letters. At least it seems that's the only mode of communication. His family doesn't even seem to have a land phone, surprisingly, although they seem to be very well off. |
