I saw this film by fast-forwarding the most uninteresting bits (which were many) but even a fast-forwarded 130 minutes of this film is too long. It&#8217;s a rip-off of the Hollywood &#8220;Wedding Date&#8221; and pretty much copies it without a thought. And it&#8217;s directed by Dharmesh Darshan &#8211; the one who did the abominable <a href=\"http:\/\/hindimoviereviews.blogspot.com\/2005\/04\/review-bewafaa.html\">Bewafaa<\/a> &#8211; so, yeah it&#8217;s worse than you expect.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, my dears the acting is nothing to write home about. Darshan picks the choicest of non-actors : Chopra, Shetty and Patel. Khanna is OK, but that hairstyle really sinks him; what is with the delicate tendrils of hair framing his face ? Such a pity that neither of Vinod Khanna&#8217;s sons have inherited an ounce of his charisma. Then Darshan goes overboard on all his characters, making them caricature-like in their jovialty and accentuated emotions. Add to that Himesh Reshammiya&#8217;s songs which pop up every 10 minutes and you have a disastrous banshee of a film.<\/p>\n<p>Anu (Chopra) is a UK-based Punjabi girl working and living in Bombay because of her unhappy break-up with Danny boy (Morea). Now, 3 years later she must head UK-wards to attend her step-sister Shirani&#8217;s (Patel) wedding. But still pining for Danny, she hires an escort Aman (Khanna)to act as her boy-friend to make Danny jealous. Punjabi kudi Shirani is marrying Gujju Kunal (Shetty). Both have very ethnically over-done parents &#8211; she has the stereotypical loud and over-bearing Punjabi parents and he&#8217;s saddled with the accented Gujju parivar. Of course Danny is at the wedding because he&#8217;s Kunal&#8217;s best friend. However he is well over Anu and has other fish to fry . . .<\/p>\n<p>If this film had any redeeming qualities, I would tell you, I would. Honest. But it has none. The heroine is pretty but dumb. The hero is cute but has a bad hair-do. The actors who can act (Kher and Dubey) are given ridiculous roles and leave-you-numb lines. The rest of the cast are cringe-worthy. The screeplay and story are poor (even the ripping-off is done pathetically), the film lacks pace and it&#8217;s pretty un-funny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amazon_link id=&#8221;B000LC55T8&#8243; target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; container=&#8221;&#8221; container_class=&#8221;&#8221; ][\/amazon_link]Rating : Poor (2.8\/5) Genre : Romantic Comedy Year : 2006 Running time : 2 hrs and 8 minutes Director : Dharmesh Darshan Cast : Priyanka Chopra, Akshaye Khanna, Amisha Patel, Suniel Shetty, Anupam Kher, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fridaynirvana.com\/film\/2006\/10\/review-aap-ki-khatir-2.html\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"twitter_17000648_17000648":"","facebook_10233691416821117_190635594420624":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[43,76,46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-762","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-43","category-bollywood","category-ecstatically-stupid"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"post-thumbnail":false,"sow-carousel-default":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"amodini","author_link":"https:\/\/www.fridaynirvana.com\/film\/author\/admin"},"uagb_comment_info":2,"uagb_excerpt":"[amazon_link id=&#8221;B000LC55T8&#8243; target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; container=&#8221;&#8221; container_class=&#8221;&#8221; ][\/amazon_link]Rating : Poor (2.8\/5) Genre : Romantic Comedy Year : 2006 Running time : 2 hrs and 8 minutes Director : Dharmesh Darshan Cast : Priyanka Chopra, Akshaye Khanna, Amisha Patel, Suniel Shetty, Anupam Kher, &hellip; Continue reading &rarr;","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p45CAb-ci","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fridaynirvana.com\/film\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fridaynirvana.com\/film\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fridaynirvana.com\/film\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fridaynirvana.com\/film\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fridaynirvana.com\/film\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=762"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.fridaynirvana.com\/film\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4696,"href":"https:\/\/www.fridaynirvana.com\/film\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762\/revisions\/4696"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fridaynirvana.com\/film\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fridaynirvana.com\/film\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fridaynirvana.com\/film\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
