Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu

Ek Main aur Ek Tu was out of box thinking rom-com movie enhanced with matured acting by Imran Khan and Kareena Kapoor along with soothing music by Amit Trivedi that gels well with the mood of the film. Rahul Kapoor (Imran Khan) is an average guy dominated by his nagging filthy rich parents telling him how to wear cloths , how to eat food . Rihana Brigenza (Kareena Kapoor) is a happy-go-lucky gal who enjoys her freedom and lives her to the fullest. However , their fate changes when their paths cross each other and soon they realize they want much more in life than just their daily routine. Directed by the first time director ,Shakun Batra, EMAET is a film which dares to cross the line and the result is fruitful. Hats off to the director for choosing such a different subject which challenges the patience of the audience and yet follows the simplicity of Indian Cinema. The film may start of with a typical boy-meet-girl romance but ends on something which I could never ever thought of.Screenplay is commendable keeping audience's interest alive. Imran Khan is getting better with each film. He has given his best performance till now and is on the verge of becoming a method actor. Kareena Kapoor is always a reliable when it comes to acting and though she shows shades of Jab We Met , she does a great job. Cinematography is outstanding capturing the beautiful location of Las Vegas and Mumbai. Production design is simple yet charming. Music by Amit Trivedi is soulful with the title song being the best among others. Rest of the star cast do justice to their part. So , overall , a perfect rom-com flick coupled with strong presence of Imran Khan and Kareena Kapoor. Good – 3.5/5

Post Jab We Met, we've had a bunch of chirpy love stories release. Most of them had the same old concept of rich kids (either one) falling in love, then breaking up, and finally ending up together (Anjaana Anjaani, Break Ke Baad, etc). From the trailer, this pretty much looked like one of those films. There were even rumors of it being a Hollywood rip-off. But, Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu is nothing like those idiotic flicks, nor is it a rip-off. It's a very cute little movie with some excellent, if not brilliant performances.

Directed by débutant Shakun Batra, EMAET has its heart in the right place. It is not one of those typical love stories (I would in fact not categorize it as a love story). It's more of a lighthearted comedy with friendship as its backdrop. Imran Khan is getting better as an actor, Kareena, well, is just gorgeous, and their chemistry is great. Perfect casting, decent music, excellent cinematography, slick screenplay, what more do you need to make a good feature film??

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu might be predictable, but is a very well executed movie with a refreshing feel to it. Some might not like it, but I did, and suggest you go watch it.

In a bid to try something "different' movie makers experiment with several different ideas. This movie is kind of an experiment which as one of it's characters is kind of just an average. It reads like a diary and has a very simple and basic storyline - nothing more, nothing less. The basic premise is very Jab We Met but any other comparison to the original movie would be unfair. This does not match up.

There are a few moments in the movie that are really sweet and even touching so to say. The Goan school tour, the analysis of personalities and even Rahul's genuine reaction to Rianna's rejection.

The rest of it is somewhere between a tourism ad for Las Vegas ( in winter which is unique) and Goa. Every character is so definite in personality and diametrically opposite that it is hard to accept such exaggerations. Rianna and Rahul are opposites and so are their families, their backgrounds , lifestyle etc. They meet in a way that is possible only in Hindi movies and their relationship develops in a similarly unique and somewhat unbelievable manner.

This is a feel good movie so it is nice to watch it when you are low. Of course there is no significant story progression and it's more like a snapshot of two people interacting for a week. Many people have disliked the ending but to me that was the only honest part in the entire movie.

I always love watching Imran khan. But I guess that was the only good thing about the movie. But the movie was corny. I don't think Kareena's character was leading Imran on. Why do guys mistaken friendship for love? And his outburst had me like ??????

If I was kareena I'd move on from the friendship.

This is the issue with nice guys. Everything they do is expected to be returned as romantic favours.

The music was fine, characters were unbearable, locations were good.

But nothing was "new", a typical Bollywood movie.

Wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I hope Bollywood makes better movies than these and Imran khan comes back in movies. I would love another JTYJN.

Not bad as I thought it would have been (I mean, with Kareena and Imran my expectations weren't too high), just a simple, light comedy with an unexpected end. Quite enjoyable. It could have been better but it could have been a lot worse too. P.S. All songs can/must be skipped, you're welcome.
