Article Updated 21 May, 2004 08:09:27 PM IST   'Uuf Kya Jaadoo Mohabbat Hai..!' - 'No Jadoo In This Mohabbat!' By Prema K. ©2004 Bollyvista.com   The two stars are for the lead pair, Sammir Dattani and Pooja Kanwal. They are young, cute, talented, and look very promising but unfortunately are wasted in this Rajshri flick. You may not take an instant liking to Pooja but she grows on you. With this flick, 'Rajshri productions' has finally met its waterloo. Either they entrust the creative aspect of filmmaking to young talented makers or reinvent themselves. Their musical family entertainer is anything but what it is supposed to be. Their much-criticized 'Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon' seems like a masterpiece in comparison. Now for the story. It's very clichéd. Pari (Pooja Kanwal) is a young, innocent, and clean-hearted girl. Despite being the daughter of a diamond merchant, Kumar Choudhary (Sachin Khedekar), there is a simplicity about her which is appealing. To make up for her simple basic nature, she has a brother, played by Akshay Anand, who has all the arrogance of a worldly wise man. He keeps lecturing Pari on how to limit her interactions to the Richie rich of the world. Wonder why a talented actress like Sandhya Mridul agreed to let herself be reduced to his wife. Pari chooses to join the college in which her late mother had studied much to her father's joy and her brother's dismay. His logic is that she could have studied in any part of the world. She sets off for Shimla with dreams in her eyes waiting to discover a new world. She meets Yash (Sammir Dattani) and is smitten by the goodness of his heart. Yash too is attracted to her but conceals his emotions for her initially as he has higher goals in life. Being an orphan, he is one of those who mature before time. He dreams of opening a dance academy some day. He performs at local events, runs a dance school for children, and also attends college during the day. He is everyone's darling. So if you expect the film to take on a rich girl Vs. poor boy turn then you are in for a pleasant surprise. Pari's father and in fact, her entire family (except of course, her brother) take an instant liking to him and even encourage their innocent romance. Yash also has a sweet, perky childhood friend, Anna played by another sprightly newcomer (Mini Tiwari), and her grandmother (Daisy Irani) for neighbours. Their relationship has been well-developed. Pari manages to become good friends with Anna and her grandmother in an attempt to woo Yash. Now you will wonder where is the twist in the tale! The problem with this film is it has too many tracks that take the focus away from Yash and Pari's cute love story. Their romance is hardly developed. This is one of the main drawbacks of the film. Some of the things these youngsters are forced to say will bring forth quite a few smirks and sniggers in the audience. Wish they had been allowed to behave like today's youngsters, considering it is targeted at the youth. To add drama to the tale, Yash is falsely implicated and a serious allegation is leveled against him. But Pari stands by him in his hour of need and ultimately true love wins. So you will wonder what was happening on screen during those 2 long hours? It leaves us with the same feeling too! Besides the lead pair, the other plus point of the film is its title track produced by renowned French pianist, Richard Clayderman. ** (TWO STARS) *poor; **average; ***good; ****very good; *****excellent   close   Print this Article http://www.bollyvista.com   http://www.bollyvista.com/article/a/29/2628
