Thank You,Anees Bazmee latest offering stars Akshay kumar, Irfan Khan, Bobby Deol, Rimmi Sen, Sonam Kapoor & Celina Jaitely. I’m particularly glad that this film has shaped up well for the sake of two names Mr. Bazmee and AK Kumar himself, their last hit, and coincidently together, was Singh Is King. Wars have been fought and a World Cup has been won since then. It’s about time Friday shines down on them.

The story is a romcom seen before, but one doesn’t expect an Udaan or even an Omkara from the Bazmee camp. Entertainment is what they’re about. A tale of three casanovas Raj (Bobby), Vikram (Irfan) and Yogi (Suniel) cheating on their respective wives Sanjana (Sonam), Shivani (rimmi) and Maya (Celina), is full of light moments when accompanied with a bag of popcorn (cheese flavor :))

While Sanjana is blinded by the facade of her happy married life, Maya believes in keeping Yogi on a leash (due to his not so lucky past escapades). Shivani on the other hand is a typical wife and a typical husbands dream.

When Sanjana suspects her husband to be playing cat and mouse,her best friend introduces her to a private detective Kishen (Akki). As the story progresses, Kishen tries to bring the three boys to books, but a funny twist is added when the boys themselves hire Kishen in order to spy on their wives’ secret informer.
Every time Kishen lays a trap, he gets beaten at his own game and Raj emerges a hero. Thrown at being unable to solve the case, Kishen then decides to change strategy. Finally at the chapter of his success his victory is marred by the shattering of Sanjana’s world as she knows it. Unable to comprehend her husband’s infidelity, she decides to commit suicide.
(Just to deviate a little from the story here, when we actually shot this scene at the Niagara Falls, it was a beautiful, hazy, sunny, rainy confused morning . As a result of which, there were two different rainbows in the horizon. So beautiful! We actually shot against one of them in this scene, so yes its real. Ahhh!)

Anyway, coming back to the suicide attempt, I’d suggested LET HER, but the director obviously had a locked script in mind! Her innocence and pain, Kishen couldn’t bear, cause love was blooming here, from the very first stare!

While the lead triangle would be Akshay, Sonam & Bobby, I’d place all my money on Irfan Khan & Rimmi Sen. Irfan as the world knows it, is a versatile actor (he’s playing the lead negative role in Spiderman btw!) but I think, this is the first time he’s attempted a full fledged comedy. No, Hissssss is not included.
Rimmi has never looked prettier or acted better. These two are the underdogs that one needs to watch out for. Some lovely dry humour served up in lines and expressions. For me they take the cake!

Suniel Shetty inspite of carrying the baggage of ‘ Macho Man, will break into a punch any minute’ is nothing but C.U.T.E. His character is so naively sweet that you want to forgive him every time he gets caught with is pants down.


To kya Sonam ko uska pyaar wapas milega, Ya hogi Akshay ke saath shaadi?
Kya teeno sudhar jaenge ya phir hogi unki barbaadi?

Pritams' music is pretty entertaining too. If you suffer from the ‘Smita’ syndrome, famously named after a friend who rates films as ‘a must see’ depending on the item numbers, then this one will win your vote.
The spruced up version of the oldy Pyaar do Pyaar lo, is quiet saucy. Razia gundo main phas gayi, I know has played over and over again at random holi parties. Full Volume has a nice Richa Sharma touch to it.
All in all, a good way to bond with the family.
