Ek main aur Ek Tu-More than just 'What Happens in Vegas'

When I first heard of this movie, I heard all sorts of stories that this is a copy of the Ashtom Kutcher-Cameron Diaz starrer-'What Happens in Vegas' and from the promos it did look like that!!...Also 20 minutes in the movie and you would again feel the same, but that's where the similarities end!!

'What Happens in Vegas' is not one of my favorite movies but I'm glad this took a different and fresh route. The story is of 2 weeks in Imran Khan's character-Rahul Kapoor's life and how it changed the rest of his life completely. While he is a high society product, and an architect whose without a job, Kareena's character is completely different from his. She is a high spirited hairdresser and lives life as it comes. Now similarities with Jab we Met are there, yes. But it genuinely is fresh and different on screen. While you would expect this movie to follow a typical romantic comedy structure, it surprises you by taking a different turn each time which sometimes might leave you pleasantly surprised but at times a little underwhelmed. It has a topsy turvy kind of feel to it and doesn't leave you disappointed at the end.

Now the chemistry between Imran and kareena is surprisingly good. There is definite chemistry and a feel that was definitely missing in a movie like probably 'Anjana Anjani' where such chemistry was required but not achieved. These two take the movie till the end and even overshadow some of the senior actors like Ratna Pathak Shah and Boman Irani, who play Imran's snobbish parents.

Among the supporting cast Kareena's dad-played by Nikhil Kapoor is probably the coolest dad you will ever see on screen and the scenes with him are absolutely the funniest in the movie.

There's also a cameo by Ram Kapoor which would make all our parents happy for sure!!

Overall the only thing lacking in this movie is a script that flows easily. It is tedious at times and not exactly as mushy as you would expect a valentines release to be...

Overall it's a good watch, keeping the season in mind. Go and have a good time at the movies.

I give it 3 out of 5.

Keep reeling!!!
