| We
have Saif Ali Khan who gave a flawless performance in Dil Chahta
Hai and is now banking for the same in Na Tum Jaano Naa Hum,
Hrithik Roshan who is all out to prove that he is still number one
in Bollywood after his mega hit Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai and Esha
Deol who is trying to prove that she is one of the upcoming young
actresses on the movie scene.
The
story of this film revolves around Rahul, a photographer who grows
up in the household of his best friend, Askhay.
Rahul who is shy and emotional by nature, strikes up a friendship
with Esha via an FM Radio broadcast even though he is unaware of
her identity.
Askay,
on the other hand, is a womaniser who happens to change girlfriends
like there is no tomorrow.
All
seems to be going well until Askhay's parents decide to get him
married off to none other than Esha.
Totally against the idea of an arranged marriage, Akshay decides
to send best friend Rahul to find out more about this girl. Hence
Rahul ends up posing as a photographer in the home of Esha.
The
twist in the emotional drama comes during Esha and Akshay' s engagement
party when Rahul learns that the mysterious girl he has been communicating
with via the FM Radio is none other than Esha.
Shocked
and totally heartbroken, Rahul manages to hide his true emotions
so as not to hurt Akshay.
But
Esha could not forget her unknown friend with whom she has now fallen
in love.
Which path will Esha take? Will Rahul be able to speak the truth
without hurting his best friend's feelings? And what will happen
to Akshay?
Answers to these questions and more will be revealed in the climax
scenes that have been extremely well executed by director Arjun
Sablok.
Debutant
Sablok has done a commendable job considering that the screenplay
was an inspiration from his own personal life.
Technically
the film excels in all departments. Rajesh Roshan's music flows
with the story line but one cannot fail to notice the innovative
background score by Raju Singh which integrates well with the emotions
of the saga on the big screen.
Cinematography
by Manoj Soni is breathtaking as he captures the beauty of the European
locales with great finesse.
Both Hrithik and Saif give a true to life performance as usual but
its Esha Deol who comes up trumps.
She dances with great elegance, emotes naturally and looks more
mature since her debut performance in Koi Mere Dil Se Pooche.
All in all Arjun Sablok has given his film a great cast, a commendable
story line and excellent technical support. So what are you waiting
for? Go and see the movie.
