With
all the hype that the team of Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai had
created, one really thought it was a movie to watch
out for. Director Satish Kaushik and Producer Vashu
Bhagnani through all their media campaigns moved every
stone to drive home to their audience that it was a
simple story about a boy who wanted to confess his love
to his gal friend. But they fail to impress with that
seemingly romantic story line.
Tushar
kapoor, Karan in the movie, has a nagging father at
home and a bunch of time pass taporis, each of who is
given two lines of humor to blurt out, in college. Karan
is the youngest son and plays the guitar and is completely
disinterested in studies. College is a jazzy set put
up at Crossroads, Bombay and students dress only in
red and yellow. Did someone tell the dress designer
that making an artist wear a red shirt with yellow jerkin
inside and a blue cap is not the only way to make him
to look like a college student?
Tushar
has Rinkie Khanna for his older sister and she's done
justice to the little role she has, in being a support
to her brother. Tushar, the once very daring guy who
kidnaps a girl to help one of his friends, on seeing
Kareena, Pooja in the movie, goes all weak and falls
in love with her at first sight. Pooja is a studious
girl who wishes to join the Harward university and do
her dead parents proud. She's come down to India to
do a research on Indian culture and carries around an
autograph book and gets an autograph from all the helpful,
good human beings she comes across. Then begins a long
chase where Karan sees Pooja at all possible places
at least ten times but every time he narrowly misses
speaking to her. So much for stretching the movie by
another hour. All coincidences are highly unplanned
and far removed from reality. Kareena looks ausum at
times sporting beautiful clothes and a great figure.
By
a turn of events, Pooja gets an admission into Harvard
University and is returning back to America. The once
foolish and madly in love Karan grows up and decides
to let her go without having to confess his love for
her. The last scene at the airport is very predictable
where Pooja instead of the shy Karan confesses her love
for him and they decide to live happily ever after.
To
keep the audience's excitement alive, there are chart
friendly tunes like Mujhe kuch kehna hai and
Meine Koi jado nahi kiya. The songs are choreographed
well especially the title track 'Mujhe kuch kehna
hai'.
Kareena
looks good and acts well. There's not much we can say
about Tushar except that he should have been more sensible
in choosing his first film, which would introduce him
to Bollywood. As for you, if you miss seeing this movie,
there's really not much that you'll miss.
