It's amazing how apt the title of a movie can be with a reference not only to the story or the plot but in this case the storywriter, the actor and the director as well....and of course, me as well for actually wasting my hard-earned money on THIS!!
It's not that it's not entirely a unwatchable movie-don't get me wrong, but the so called twists and turns of the movie piss you off more than it surprises you. It's a twisted love story that actually has so much potential, but it seems like everyone related to the movie was hellbent on seeking revenge on the producers and try and make this as bad as possible...
The story is of a Hindu Boy and Christian girl who are neighbours and have a romance developing like a gas on low flame, taking their own time and without any major heat. There are ofcourse, objections from parents, the difference in caste issues, and not to forget, the fact that she is elder to him as well.
It's all predictable for the most of it, and the parts that are not you would not even want to predict!!...
It's also amazing how some shots of Goa were disguised as being shot in Mumbai...I mean who does that nowadays!!...the scenes in kerala are decent enough and mildly interesting as that is one state that is hardly captured on film in hindi movies.
Now coming to the cast,
Prateik for some reason had all the young girls in the theatre screaming their heads off for him. i absolutely do not understand this for 3 reasons:
1. He does not look good,
2. He can't act,
3. He is SPACED all the time!!...
Basically you know by this that I hate the guy...ofcourse he does have a good body but this ain't a body building competition.
Amy Jackson has shed the bikini umage of her modelling days completely and has stuck to below rs.1,000 sarees throughout the film, which she still carries off to a certain extent but leaves much to be desired. Her voice has definitely been dubbed but for a foreign import, this was quite a decent performance from her for her first film.
There's also Amy's character-Jesse's uncle in the movie who makes an impact in the couple of scenes that he does appear with his frantic Malayalam, but sadly I do not know his name.
Rahman too seems to have been bored while composing music for the film barring the track that is quickly climbing the charts-Hosanna.
The tagline says-A Perfect Romance, More or Less-And after watching the film I can certainly say this..
Perfect Romance, My A**...Take your GF/BF for this and they WILL break up with you, I'm serious!!..
I'm going with 1.5 out of 5 for Ekk Deewana Tha...Guess the xtra 'K' didn't help after all...
Keep reeling!!!
