If I didn’t have a passion to write reviews on this blog and some extra cash, I would have never got out of my home to watch Pyaar Impossible in this weather. Seriously, what was I thinking? I guess we all make mistakes. Anyway, coming back to the review, Pyaar Impossible stars Priyanka Chopra and Uday Chopra, who also wrote the script. Directed by Jugal Hansraj, this movie is one big yawn.

Pyaar Impossible Movie Review

Story

The story of movie revolves around the life of Abhay, played by Uday, who is your average geek in college and not so surprisingly, in love with the hottest girl in college, Alisha (Priyanka Chopra). But, he is not able to confess it because Alisha’s dad makes her leave the college and come back to India.

7 years forward, Abhay is still in love with her but he has made a unique operating system which can run all the operating systems in the world. XP, Vista, Linux, Mac etc, you name it, he has it. Good thing for the geeks if it was real. But, his software is stolen by Dino Morea. And thus, begins his journey to get his software back. On his journey, he also meets Alisha again. Will he find his true love? Not hard to predict.

Technical Department

First things first, this movie is filled with clichés. Jugal Hansraj clearly doesn’t have an eye for details. And as a result of this, we are stuck with a depressing love story which could have been much better. And this brings me back to my next point. I don’t know if it’s me only, but, in my opinion, this movie could have been much much better and refreshing if the writer, Uday Chopra, had done some homework. Or probably, he had given this story to some good writer. Writing is totally juvenile with only couple of scenes which bring a smile to your face. Moreover, it’s highly predictable.

One more thing, why does it always happen that if you want to show a popular girl in college then she has to be a rockstar? Why can’t she be a chess player or a debater? Can’t it be beauty with brains? But, I think there is no glamour in being a chess player or a debater.

Music, I’ve to say, is really good. The duo of Salim-Sulaiman has done a wonderful job by giving some peppy tunes, which will be with you even after leaving the cinema. I recommend you to buy the CD now, but we know how you’re going to get the songs. Cinematography was nice

Acting Department

Let’s start the acting department with Priyanka Chopra. She was top notch, to say the least. Very natural and confident. But, I’ve to comment on her dresses. I wonder if her character wears any normal clothes like we do and especially, since she is a divorced mother. Don’t worry about spoiler, it’s hardly any. Mini skirts and showing cleavage in office. I also wonder if there is any dress code in the offices of Singapore, coz if there isn’t, then I’m applying for a job in Singapore straight away. She was looking really really hot. Gorgeous at its best.

And, then we have Uday Chopra. I’ve to be honest here, you don’t have any acting skill. I think you’re lucky that you have your own production company and a brother who is ready to spend money on you while, there are many talented writers and actors never get a break

Anupam Kher and Dino Morea in their supporting roles were ok. Nothing special. And what’s the deal with Alisha’s daughter? She doesn’t look 6 at all and is annoying.

Final Verdict

If there is one reason to watch Pyaar Impossible then it’s Priyanka Chopra. I bet guys are going to love it. Watching her on big screen is a delight and I don’t think she has looked this gorgeous in any other movie. So guys, check it out, but only if some fool are paying for your ticket. As for the girls, they are stuck with Uday Chopra, who shouldn’t come on the big screen, unless it’s Dhoom 3.

Some love stories have the charm to capture your attention within 1 minute and to hook you till the end. But, this movie is nothing like that. And, as far as the hit status for Pyaar Impossibe is concerned, it is anything but possible.

Cast – Priyanka Chopra, Uday Chopra

Roadside Romeo Movie Review

newsdose

Roadside Romeo

Roadside Romeo, India’s first 3-D movie, produced by Yash Raj Films and Walt Disney Pictures has finally released. It’s a special movie as it shows the power of Indian animation which was not exploited properly in the past. Without wasting time, let’s review Roadside Romeo.

Roadside Romeo is your regular Bollywood movie with all the masala and songs combined with superb animation. Double thumbs up to Jugal Hansraj, director of the movie, for awesome direction and creativity. Story is about a rich pet dog called Romeo (Saif Ali Khan), who finds himself on the cruel Mumbai streets when his family shifts to another country.

There he meets his new friends and his love, Laila, played by Kareena Kapoor, and also the bad dog of the movie, Charlie Anna (Javed Jaffrey). Roadside Romeo is your typical “Hero loves heroine but has to fight the villain to get her” movie.

Good points about the movie

1. Animation – It would be wrong to compare the animation to that of complex animations by Pixar as this is a first big project for Bollywood. Nevertheless, I was impressed with the details given to each character.

2. Direction – Jugal Hansraj certainly did his homework in the direction department but same can’t be said about writing one which we’ll talk about later. His love for animated movies clearly shows in the movie.

3. Charlie Anna – The bad dog of the movie is the most likable character of the movie. The credit should be given to Javed Jaffrey for his mind blowing voice over.

4. Ending Credits – After a long time, I didn’t leave the cinema before watching the credits. It was a really nice effort from Jugal and it paid off. Do watch the credits even if you didn’t like the movie.

Bad points about the movie

1. Story – Story is too simple and has nothing new to offer. Filled with clichés, references to other Yash Raj movies and stupid dialogues, story is the weakest point of the film.

2. Voice over by Saif Ali Khan – He was definitely not a right choice for the voice of Romeo. Ending each dialogue with “Guys” can be really irritating. Please don’t try to be cool using such words. You look like a wannabe.

3. South Indian accent of Charlie Anna – Javed did a good job playing the character but his dialogues can be difficult to comprehend for the kids. Sometimes, it was really difficult to understand what he was saying. More clarity could have done wonders.

4. Ending – This was the cheesiest ending after Kismat Konnection. I mean seriously, why are you trying to copy DDLJ? And how of a sudden did Laila agree with the story of Charlie Anna? Juvenile!

Verdict – If Jugal made this movie for the kids then he clearly missed the shot. It doesn’t have the excitement that an animation movie should have in order to capture the attention of the kids.
