Jackky Bhagnani
Cast: Jackky Bhagnani, Nidhi Subbaiah, Arjun Rampal, Kirron Kher
Direction: Sanjay Gadhvi
Rating: *
I
am convinced 'Ajab Gazabb Love' was just made so that Jackky Bhagnani
could add another film to his filmography. The plot follows the most
predictable trajectory possible, there's not even a feeble attempt at
anything original and it hardly qualifies as a romantic comedy.
Rajveer
Grewal (Jackky Bhagnani), spoilt rich kid who has built a dream car
very innovatively called DC, falls hook, line and sinker for dusky girl
coming down the escalator. Lovestruck hero manages to track down the
'escalator' girl with the help of a passing glance at a sociology book
she is carrying. Before he can express his love, he realizes the object
of his affection hates rich people and gets all high-pitched and angry
when she sees them.
How must our hero amend this impossible
situation? Quite simply by pretending to be a poor, educated and hard
working mechanic. Predictably one lie leads to another and before we
know it the entire Grewal family has to make commendable impersonations
as banana-selling father, blind mother, alcoholic brother and so on.
There
are rare moments of genuine humour; like Kirron Kher's over-the-top
acting (much like her filmi mother avatar in 'Om Shanti Om'), Arjun
Rampal's double role as the girl's twin brothers and Arshad Warsi's
cameo as the South-Indian servant pretending to be a rich friend.
The
film is peppered with forgettable songs and a few close-ups of Jackky's
well-sculpted body. Sanjay Gadhvi's film leaves much to be desired with
a predictable love story, humour that often falls flat, performances
that is completely average and below par music/lyrics.
