DULHAN HUM LE JAYENGE Cast: Salman Khan, Karishma Kapoor, Anupam Kher, Om Puri, Himani Shivpuri, Kader Khan and Johnny Lever Director: David Dhawan Music: Anu Malik Rating: * * |
Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge is on the lines of director David
Dhawan's previous comedy films but minus any vulgar comedy. The
film is based on old Hindi film Ek Phool Char Kaante and
the situations are inspired by Aditya Chopra's Dilwale Dulhaniya
Le Jayenge and Dil Hai Ki Manta Hi Nahin. It is the story of Sapna (Karisma Kapoor), an orphan girl, being brought up by three crazy mamas. First mama (Paresh Rawal) believes in God and is always into pooja-paat. Second mama (Om Puri) is obsessed with exercise and fitness and the third mama (Anupam Kher) is fond of pop-dancing. Poor Sapna cannot lead a normal life as she has to follow the different lifestyles of her three mamas. Sapna's maid (Himani Shivpuri) shows her photo to Mr. Oberoi (Kader Khan) and his wife (Himani Shivpuri) for their son Raja (Salman Khan). They like Sapna and go to her mamas who refuse his proposal as each mama wants his choice of boy. Fed up of her mamas, Sapna runs away from home for a holiday. There she meets Raja. Raja with the help of his friend (Johnny Lever) is there to woo Sapna. After some of the scenes (directly lifted from DDLJ and Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin) Sapna falls in love with Raja. Now Raja tries to do all the things to please the three mamas. All ends well. Salman looks good and acts ably. He has a good flair for comedy, though he takes off his shirt too often. Karisma Kapoor looks glamorous. More than acting it is a fashion parade for her in this film. Anyways, she has acted well. Rest of the cast lends able support. What the film lacks is an emotional touch and even the comedy is not very strong. There are lots of songs and dances which tend to bore you after a certain point of time. But one can easily leave one's brains home and watch the film at least once.
