Movie Review Milenge Milenge

Movie Review Milenge Milenge
Story: College girl, Kareena Kapoor, has just one ambition in life. She wants to settle down in sweet domesticity with a guy who has three basic hobbies: No cigarettes, no booze and no lies. Co-collegiate plus prankster, Shahid Kapoor, gets to know about it and pretends to be her dream guy, despite his penchant for the three vices. Does the romance survive when the lid is blown off the subterfuge? Leave it to destiny... 

Movie Review: So what's the one big question that stares you in your face when you walk out after watching Milenge Milenge? Would this film have been a hit had it been released when it was `Milethe Milethe' for the lead pair; that is, when real life was in sync with reel life, for Shahid and Kareena, not so long ago? The answer? Don't think so. 

And there are quite a few reasons for it. First, you could blame it on the plot which has nothing new to offer. Now that's almost criminal in an age when even the ordinary love story has been re-written in new-age Bollywood. Who talks about `Someone, Somewhere, specially for me' and consults tarrot card readers (or even, Paul, the Octopus) when it comes to love, aaj kal! Even mush moghuls like Yash Chopra, Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar are realising the risk potential of `Rab ne bana di jodi' like cliches in an age of FB, speed dating, instant romance and speedier breaking. So, it does seem corny to pitch a character like Priyanka (Kareena) who believes that a book on numerology, a fifty rupee note with a phone number or a ride in a lift is all that it would take to bring her together with her soul mate. Ironically, the entire romance unfolds as a destiny play, with one hit and miss encounter following the other. Needless to say, the lovers predictably keep missing each other by a few minutes or a few years. 

Naturally, in such a chancy affair, there isn't much that the pair of star-crossed lovers can do, other than catch wrong planes, enter wrong doors, or land up in wrong cities at the wrong time. Remember, the re-union hinges on the special rupee note which must travel the globe before it lands up in Kareena's kitty. So why the khali-peeli bhagam bhag by the babalog! Of course, Shahid and Kareena do try hard to inject life in a dead script and do manage to still look good together. 

But with outdated choreography, college humour, couture and a minus-the-thump music score (Himesh Reshammiya), this love story doesn't have the turn-of-the-century zing that has entered most of Bollywood's pyaar-mohabbat pulp fiction. 

So what's the bottomline? Milenge-Milenge ends up as a might-have-been, iffy affair. Watch it `IF' you still dig the Shahid-Kareena jodi which re-defined the word 'chemistry' in Jab We Met.

Who did Shahid Kapoor meet in London?

Who did Shahid Kapoor meet in London?

Soumyadipta Banerjee / DNASaturday, July 3, 2010 11:08 IST

Mumbai: Shahid Kapoor mysteriously disappeared for a secret holiday to London to meet one of his friends there. Apparently, the star is keeping his lips sealed about what he did on his London trip or who he met there.

Shahid and Sonam Kapoor were shooting for Shahid’s dad Pankaj Kapoor’s film Mausam in Edinburgh when Sonam declared that she has to be in Mumbai to promote her upcoming film with Imran Khan.

“Shahid had nothing to do for three days. He was getting bored in the hotel. So he had a talk with his dad and told him that he wanted to have all these days off when Sonam is not there. We think his dad also didn’t ask him who he will be meeting,” says a source.

The last time Shahid took off for a holiday, he went to Goa and apparently he also bumped into Priyanka there who wasthere with her best friend from Delhi.

A co-actor from the unit reportedly said, “I don’t know what Shahid told others. But the truth is, without Sonam there was little he could do for the camera. Mausam is a love story and 90 percent of the time their scenes are together. With Sonam gone Shahid left for London. For what, we don’t know.”

Reportedly on his return, Shahid was teased mercilessly about his “secret rendezvous”.

Shahid Kapoor steals away to London for a mysterious visit

Shahid steals away to London for a mysterious visit  

By Subhash K. Jha

Mumbai, June 30 (IANS) With Sonam Kapoor heading for Mumbai for the promotion and release of her new film "I Hate Luv Storys", shooting for "Mausam" in Edinburgh slackened up a bit.

The hero Shahid Kapoor, who also happens to be the director's son, decided to take off for a three-day visit to nearby London. Only father Pankaj Kapoor knew about Shahid's whereabouts while the rest of the unit was kept in the dark about his visit.

Though Shahid maintained before her departure that Pankaj Kapoor had planned solo sequences with him while waiting for Sonam to return, the fact is that the unit was left with very little to do after Sonam's fleeting return to Mumbai which was planned well in advance.

"Shahid didn't have much shooting to do once Sonam left. So he took off for a secret holiday to London for four days," a source said.

A co-actor from the unit let the cat out of the bag. He said: "I don't know what Shahid told others. But the truth is, without Sonam there was little he could do for the camera. 'Mausam' is a love story and 90 percent of the time their scenes are together. With Sonam gone Shahid left for London. For what, we don't know."

Apparently on his return, Shahid was teased mercilessly about his "secret rendezvous".

Who with, Shahid isn't telling.
