Dil Vil Pyar Vyar

DVPV is a story of 3-couples, sorry 3 1/2 with immortal melodies of R D Burman interlaced between them:

Couple #1: Typical Mills & Boon love-story between Jimmy Shergill and Hrishitaa Bhatt

Couple #2: Condensed form of Abhimaan and Akele Hum Akele Tum with Madhavan and Namrata Shirodkar

Couple #3: Windower coming to terms with life with Sanjay Suri and Sonali Kulkarni

Couple 3 1/2: Love out of pity story with Rakesh Bapat, Bhavana Pani & Riya Sen

Obvious overdose of characters with inadequate screen time to justify their existence in the storyline. And add to that, the songs are like unwanted pop-ups surfacing every 5 mins interval (14 songs!!! Are we competing with HAHK?). Admist this the story takes a back-seat and the script gets loaded with loose ends.

Songs - Kavita K was a good choice while Hariharan isn't.

Obvious references are drawn to Jhankaar Beats which was a tribute to R D Burman as well. But Dil Vil Pyar Vyar appears dwarf in comparison.

Anant Mahadevan should restrict himself to acting (and voice-over for Maddy) - direction apparently isn't his cup of "chai".

This is a decent movie about 3 friends and how they meet, etc. It is pretty similar to Mohabbatein and Dil Chahta Hai. The acting wasnt too great but most of them are new people so it was acceptable. The music isnt the best but the movie makes up for it. Recommended. 7/10
