Man, I was pretty excited when I heard that I'd get to see Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia hit the silver screen together again, after all these years. And, wow: they'd be in a "mature" love story, rather than one wherein they'd have to just go through "the motions," as though they were twenty years younger. Then...I saw the film. It's just terrible. Honestly, next to "Jo Bole So Nihaal," it's one of the worst films of 2005. A hamming, "anglicizing every damn line" Rishi Kapoor, a "hip-hopped" remix of one of his yester-year hit songs, and some of the most trite lines made this an almost-unbearable venture. Not one scene seemed believable, and the only real "watchable" aspect, was the chemistry between Rishi and Dimple (though, had "Bobby" never happened, this, too, might have been nonexistent [as much of the "chemistry" is just in our minds, due to "Bobby"]).
*Also, why wasn't the title of the film written in Devanagari (and, perhaps, Urdu), and instead written only in English? Is this a "Sahara One" thing? I noticed the same thing in "Sarkar."
