प्यार इम्पॉसिबल

I recently got into bollywood movies with my first helping 'Bodyguard' which I found to be a very sweet comedy and Salman Khan as definitely come of age. When I saw Priyanka Chopra in an interview I was particularly enamored by her presence and beauty. It's no wonder she was previously a coveted winner of Miss World back in 2000. However, acting is a whole different story and Mrs. Aishwarya Rai also a former 1994 Miss World winner has proved that beauty pageants can also make it into acting.

Having been in the movie industry for a number of years now, Priyanka Chopra has again proved to the critics that she is a very capable actress and shows her versatility in this movie. She plays a very motivated young woman who was always looking for thrills and spills and falls for the wrong person, the product of which is a single mum with a young daughter. Come on the heels of Priyanka is a an unassuming, mild mannered geek who has quietly been in love with her from college days. One day through fate they meet up again in life and the story uncoils around their unexpected relationship.

I am a bit puzzled by the low rating this movie has received since I thought it was very entertaining. One thing I need to add is that you cannot watch Bollywood movies with any 'seriousness'. The story is always usually fantastic and unbelievable but thats what gives it some magic as all the movie fans consisting of over half the world will testify. If you really want to judge movies on technical merit, film worthiness, realism etc. then we have many of the western movies for that, but for pure light-hearted entertainment, then you cannot go wrong with this one.

No deep story, just a predictable, but cute, charming story. I had no intention of watching it all the way through, but I found the characters charming, and after I watched it, found myself walking around the house singing the music.

The most interesting thing to me was the statement this film makes on India pop culture -- the language a blend of English and Hindi, probably from the impact of American movies and pop culture, and also from the out-sourcing of software support jobs to India, ala, Bill Gates.

One final comment: I read a news review by an American film critic, criticizing the film for nepotism. How silly! You want the government to take over film making also? You can't hire your relatives to work on your own film? I'm sorry, but I think private biz should be able to hire whomever it wants, related or not. I would prefer to have people I enjoyed working with and trust on my set, related or not.

First, this is a warm feel good movie much like pictures of kittens and puppies. If that is not your cup of tea, then skip it. The story of the geek winning over the girl has been done before, but the humor in this movie makes it a winner. Abhay's (Uday Chopra) social awkwardness is a winner here and Alisha's (Priyanka Chopra) roll as a sexy socialite oblivious to Abhay's geek world is perfect. The antics Uday goes through to win her and her monster daughter over is funny and the turn in the end is sweet and awesome. Some of the humor is dumb (including the bad wig on Anupam Kher's head), but fits right in. The music is catchy and keeps you taping your feet. There is a small underlying story of being able to see the world differently from another point of view and it is well done (Priyanka makes a hot geek!). Some of the dialog is a little boring and almost seems like the actors are ad-libbing some lines at times, but it is saved by the humor in the story. I will watch this again and again and is one of my favorites. A perfect family film for all ages.

Story is quite a simple one and obvious. Time pass kind off.

This actually is a Decent Movie which has been ignored by many people. As you know the attitude of Indian audience - Most of them Prefer to watch their favourite actor's faces and not really bother much - whether the movie has good content or not. Uday Chopra has actually acted very well in this film. It is just unfortunate of him that people never saw him as an actor material. Other actors have also acted well in this film and it's a good time pass watch.
