Bollywood Dil Se Movie Review: Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu
A perfectly "Above Average Movie" |
Rating: ❤ ❤ ❤ ½
Movie Information: IMDB, Wiki
Cast: Imraan Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Boman Irani, Ratna Pathak Shah, Ram Kapoor
Direction: Shakun Batra
Genre: Romance, Humor
Movie Overview:
I honestly, did not have many expectations from this flick, mainly because, as from teaser, it seemed to be a remake of “What Happens In Vegas” but the movie hasn’t disappointed me.
Fresh writing, to begin with, makes the movie sustainable in first half. Lingos like PMSing, BUM, SEX etc., which were once upon a time a myth, are frequent here. Thank you censor board, for showing maturity.
Cinematography and Editing are par excellent to any Hollywood romcom. Mubai and Vegas look equally beautiful.
Background score is breezy and songs fit the bill.
So, the film is actually, a technician’s delight. But film falls flat on two terms, Story and Screenplay. A good story is least expected in a romcom, but absence of engaging screenplay is a major drawback here.
The story unfolds very slowly. Writer seems to have paid enough attention over dialogues but script is weak. Nevertheless, I felt entertained throughout the movie and that’s all what I expect from romcoms.
Kareena and Imran play their part very well. Both the characters are contradicting yet complimentary to each other.
So, what makes this average movie, a worth watch? Last half an hour, especially climax. I wouldn’t discuss much about it, as I don’t want to hint out any spoiler.

Quick Review:
Cast:
Imran and Kareena are highlight of the movie. Ram kapoor and Boman Irani hasn't much scope here. Ratna Pathak Shah is good as always.
Story And Screenplay:
Story remains predictable most of the time. Writing is fresh and thoroughly entertaining.
Editing And Cinematography:
One of the most tightly edited film this year. Cinematography is simply excellent.
Music And Background Score:
Amit Trivedi brings the required freshness. Clinton Carejo's background score is peppy.
Direction:
Good debut by Shakun Batra, He chooses a safe genre to fly with. Karan Malhotra made a brave attempt to remake Agneepath. Dharma Productions has evolved much in last couple of years.
Final Verdict:
A "perfectly average movie" + last half an hour = A "perfectly above average" movie.
Box Office collection report:
Last four films of Kareena Kapoor are in "Mighty 100 Crore League", this film will surely not hit the mark, but due to moderate budget, will emerge as an average movie at box office.
