Ashutosh Gowarikar continues his fascination with long flicks. While Lagan kept you hooked, this one sucks. BIG TIME. The worst part of the movie is its story. A young NRI (harman) starts searching for a bride and is convinced that there are 12 types of girls based on zodiac (rashi). So he decides to meet one girl of each rashi and decide the best one for him ( what an idea sirji !!! A really nice sampling method). Even for someone like me, born in a family of firm believers in astrology, the concept of dividing people in 12 categories is DUMB.
As the story proceeds you get irritated by the 12 characters appearing on screen one after another, all played by priyanka chopra. Most of the characters are such, that you hope never to meet them in real life. Every character has been reduced to a single trait. For example all you get to know about one girl is that she is not a virgin. What the hell !!! This is all the person is worth ???
The direction is no better. Ashutosh Govarikar completely disappoints. Editing could have been better. Cinematography is above average.
Harman's performance is not going to take him any further. He delivers a flat performance; expressionless. But I would consider it more of a fault on director's part. But 'man.... ooops woman of the match' goes to priyanka. This movie has given her a jackpot and she grabs it. There was a time i counted priyanka in good for nothing stars, but she has really worked hard. First Kaminey n now What's your rashi, she is getting better everyday.
RATING : 1/5

I haven't seen the movie (as usual) but was planning to. Thanks to your criticism the movie is going to miss a viewer!! whatever :P
Vaise Priyanka Chopra is a Cancerian...like you...mummy ko bolo shayad is baar match mil jaye.... :P
Jokes apart, I was long awaiting the movie reviews from your end. Now that you have started, keep writing (even about oldies). I cannot comment on the review since I need to watch the movie to see if your review is correct or not and aab main nahi dekhoongi- becoz tumne itna ganda review diya.
Vaise ek cheez hai (I might be wrong) the idea of putting one actress corresponding to all the rashis might signify that its impossible to catagorize people based on the signs. Each one of us has the characterstics of all the signs...kisi mein kam , kissi mein zyada...What do u say?
Review ke liye review likhoon?? naah!! :P
@anonymous
thanks for the suggestion. hope priyanka finds it interesting too ;)
waise putting one actress corresponding to all rashi's is a good idea. there was a play "aadhe-adhoore" by mohan rakesh which puts same actor for 4 different men in a woman's life signifying the similarity. here it could have worked out in the opposite way. but an opportunity once lost is lost 4ever.
@maya
thanks :)
