Mere Jeevan Saathi

The movie is unbearable and horrible.This is the sickest movie in Hindi language.The diection is HORRIBLE.The screenplay is terrible.The story is a rip off.It tells about 3 people Vicky,Anajli,Natasha.They are college mates.Vicky loves Anjali,Natasha is obsessed of him.She writes a song called Mere jeevan saathi and sends it to him.She doesn't write it.Years later Vicky has his first concert he sings the song.The song is a chart buster.Two man Morani and Torani wants to kill him.Skip a long story.He goes to Angel music in USA.It is one of the best companies.He goes there to extend his tour.SHOCKINGLY he cames across Natasha.Soon he leaves for India.Natasha follows him.Anjali and Vicky are engaged.I think the movie resembles Aitraaz.Although Aitraaz was far better than this movie.Akshay looked good as always but he was wasted.Amisha is useless as usual.Karishma is only good for looking at.She is an overrated actress.I must say she looked gorgeous as ever in this movie.She overacts miserably.Gulshan and the other unknown overact a lot.The others are useless.The screenplay is horrible.The dialogs are worse.The climax is rubbish.The cinematography is UNBELIEVABLE.The costumes are good.The music is brilliant.The picturisations lyrics are superb.The leads lack chemistry.The twists are quite pathetic.Avoid at all costs Rating-1/10(Only because of the songs nothing else)

Okay - a very typical Hindi melodrama, very badly written, with some atrociously written dialogues and cliched elements. The film relies only completely on the star power of its leads. Akshay Kumar is of course just the presence, he's got no role to write home about neither does he look like someone who takes it too seriously to begin with. Ameesha Patel is just there. Obviously, Karisma Kapoor is very charismatic and good-looking, and she is too immersed in her obsessive strike. Sadly, the director allows her to really go wild at the role and sometimes she just takes it too far and completely overacts. This is not to say she isn't any good because it is her appearance that rises above the mediocrity of the show and gives it some value and interest. The film has melodious songs, among which "Tum Bin Na Hum Jeesakenge" is an absolute gem. One can expect no less from Nadeem-Sharavan. Sadly, one can't expect much from Suneel Darshan either, and it shows here.

I am sorry to say that I actually had some expectations of this movie. Being Karisma's first film in some years.

BUT this film did NOT DELIVER! I was disappointed with the plot, and the way that the story unfolded. The story could have been a real success if the script had been better. The characters where dull, accept for Karisma who does the Glenn Close/Fatal Attraction thing, quite convincingly.

I thought that if they had not made the movie such a cliché it would have been better. It would have been far superior if the guy went to NYC, and finds himself attracted to another women, and starts a relationship with her. (NOT have a one night stand, and then start wondering how he's going to get out of it!) If he's torn between his love and loyalty for his long standing girlfriend and his attraction and passion for a stranger,it would have made the story more interesting.

The story as it is could have worked too, if the girlfriend had not been portrayed as a saint, and the inevitable "I can die for him, can you"? competition had not irrevocably ruined things! Obsessive love has been portrayed in a very successful way in films many times. There is no reason that it could not have been done here. But the plot and dialogues are too mediocre and aside from Karisma (even though sometimes she was a bit over the top), the rest of the acting was mediocre at best. Especially Akshay who is a talented actor who can do better. He really needs to break free from these "up and coming rock star" roles. He has outgrown them and he's selling himself short by continuing to portray them. Amisha Patel does her worst acting to date in this film, and she looks insipid and down right annoying!

Once again the Indian film manages try to insult and undermine Western Culture by suggesting that "one night stands" are the norm in America. (And consequently in the Western World) which is NOT quite accurate. Akshay's character tells Karisma that she is an American and one night stands are the norm in her country.Therefore, she should stop making a fuss about feeling "used".Karisma has to qualify that she is an American of "Indian" ethnic origin, as a way of justifying her feelings of outrage at being used for sex and discarded. When will Indian films stop undermining Western culture, and portraying the west as morally bankrupt, as means of showcasing their own superiority?

The music was all right. I only liked one song. "Jab Se Mile Ho Tum", which actually took the plot forward and showcased Krisma's character's feelings very well. The lyrics and music of that song are n-sync. The rest of the songs where un-memorable.

My overall feeling about this film is disappointment. At the end of it I was left wondering what went wrong!

This film was started in 2001 and released in 2006 after lot of delay

Karisma too retired till the film released, Amisha became a 0 and Akshay Kumar had begin to start signing better films

The film is similar to AITRAAZ and released 2 yrs later then AITRAAZ though it started before it

The delay shows in the film and the handling too is regressive

The film's theme itself is decayed and adding villainy tracks spoils it further

Direction by Suneel Darshan is bad Music is old fashioned

Akshay is just okay, Karisma is good while Amisha is ordinary

OK, there is no way you could even conceivably take this movie seriously... But for connoisseurs of truly terrible train wrecks of movies...this is the creme de la creme of craptastic films. From the across the board over the top performances, to the insane art direction (dig the bright green carpets with red walls) to the horrible costumes (could Akshay LOOK any more gay?), to the cheesy dialogues and nonsensical motivations to the songs that go on...and on....and on.... (the theme song is repeated THREEE times) ... this is one movie that you will be SCREAMING at the screen while watching in horrified disbelief! Although it's basically a ripoff of Fatal Attraction, it goes so much beyond that film into the realm of surreality. Enjoy it for all it's unbelievable horribleness...
