Dulha Mil Gaya

Since I discovered Bollywood when I arrived to Holland, found out they were subtitled in English,, so over the last 13 years I have been collecting them, last weekend I stumbled over a huge box full of Bollywood DVDs so hubby bought them for me, among the DVDs in the box was this film I am reviewing,I found it delightful, I am a huge SRK fan, I think he gets better with age LOL But to be honest the "leading man" was a disappointment, the young actress that played his Punjab wife was lovely and quite good ..I look forward seeing more of her. I loved the costumes that Shimmer wore, she had such beautiful clothes. I am a bit confused,I thought the movie took place in Miami Florida, but some one said Trinidad. I rate this a seven, it was a perfect movie for a rainy day.

Shah Rukh Khan and Sushmita Sen are fun to see together again, but this movie has an abysmal script with inept direction and a hodgepodge of superficially presented topics. We went to see it only because of the SRK "special appearance," which makes the second half entertaining when he is on screen. Take him off screen, however, and the movie falls into the holes the director digs for the cast with slapstick taking the place of subtlety in scene after scene. Sushmita Sen surely deserves a better vehicle for her talents. As always, SRK generously does his best with his role, but we wonder if he had any regrets after seeing the final product, a movie that we bet will be out of theaters soon.

o.k. So this movie was lacking in the dialog department. Also it is over-the-top in a way that only Bollywood can carry off. Unfortunately it is difficult to tell in this movie if the silly melodrama is the plan or if the directing was abysmal. None-the-less, in a year of mediocre movies I enjoyed it. The stories are interesting. The younger female role, played by Ishitta Sharma was acted with sensitivity. The friendship between Shimmer (Sushmita) and Samara (Ishitta) was interesting. But it is the scenes between Shushmita Sen and Shahrukh Khan that make this movie. Shahrukh plays his character straight in this very melodramatic film and it proves to be the saving of what would otherwise have been an unwatchable film. The scenes between him and Shushmita are touching and fun and their story makes the movie.

I bought this movie with several other Bollywood flicks and didn't know what to expect from it. I liked it from beginning to end. Yes it's another un-believable Bollywood story, but if you watch this movie you know what to expect. The characters are reasonably well developed, even their motivations are well developed. Sushmita / Shimmer is the center character, making all others meet and interact. Her character is a celebrity hungry top model, but she soon befriends a young woman who was deceived by her new husband, who happens to be Shimmer's best friend. Then the Bollywood effect occurs and situations go on as characters have to react to them and delve into their inner feelings. The whole thing is well acted, led by Sushmita with strength and class (and awesome beauty).

hands down one of the worst Bolly movies I've watched in a while, if not ever. Predictable. Boring, Shallow. The songs are meh. The acting is really awful. The stereotypes makes your eyes water. Putting SRK on the poster is stupid, since he basically features all of 10 minutes.

The story is highly predictable. Not even an interesting or smart twist anywhere.

The characters are not believable. This is the first time I've seen Fardeen Khan, and I hope to never again. I enjoy Sushmita Sen, and I really loved her in Main Hoon Na, but here, her character is loathsome. Her character is not explored, and the tiny bit of change at the end, is not enough to redeem her. Samarpreet's Pretty Woman transformation is totally ridiculous. A blind man with a cane could tell she's the same girl.

The only characters I had an iota of emotional connection with, was Samarpreet's aunt and uncle.

Donsai's character development is unrealistic. Hussain Bhai was a way better human being than Donsai will ever be.

SRK, for all his awesomeness, couldn't even pull this out of the dustbin. You could see on his face he didn't want to be there.

Kind of annoyed that I spent data on buying this movie.
