Pyaar Impossible [2010]

Posted by Suraj On January - 10 - 2010

Language: Hindi

Genre: Romantic comedy

Cast: Uday Chopra, Priyanka Chopra, Dino Morea, Anupam Kher

Director: Jugal Hansraj

Music: Salim-Sulaiman

Reasons to watch: It is one of the first releases this year. So you will want to watch it.

Reasons not to watch: Story and screenplay by Uday Chopra — KEEP OFF!

Storyline: Abhay Sharma (Uday Chopra) and Alisha Merchant (Priyanka Chopra) study in the same university in California. Nerdy Abhay falls in love with beautiful Alisha, who is every girl’s ‘wanna-be’ in college. Abhay constantly keeps dreaming of a life with her, but Alisha neither knows his name nor recognizes his presence around her. Having saved her from drowning one late night, Abhay thinks this will serve as a ‘pick-up’ incident like in a zillion Bollywood flicks, but to his disappointment, Alisha leaves college the next morning and returns to India to reside with her father. Our poor geek-boy is left stranded and heart-broken. Seven years pass and Abhay still harbors his crush on Alisha, without being able to get her out of his head. At this point walks in Dino Morea who plays Siddhu, an insidious businessman who robs a groundbreaking software developed by Abhay.

The scene then shifts to Singapore, as Abhay, having drawn motivation from his father (Anupam Kher), decides to go in search of Siddhu. This trip turns out to be a shocker when he learns that Alisha works as the PR and Marketing Head of the company owned by Siddhu. With renewed hope Abhay follows Alisha to her home, only to discover that she is a single divorced mom. Then, a simple moment of mistaken identity leads to Abhay working as a male nanny for Alisha’s kid and he plods along with the situation. The rest of the plot can be divided into two parts — Part 1 is about how Abhay and Alisha get together with Alisha falling for Siddhu (whose real name turns out to be Varun) and Part 2 is “Revenge of the Geeks: Retrieval of the Secret Software.” :P

Climax Handling: Too tame and predictable. The message is contradicting — Real beauty lies in the inner soul — if this is what the movie tries to send across, then why doesn’t the same apply to Uday Chopra’s character? Seriously, there is no other reason for Abhay to fall in love with Alisha apart from her being a dazzling ‘beauty’. She has a screwed up forced accent and is a very good example of beauty with’out’ brains.

Points: 1 Beauty + 1 Geek = A messed up movie

Rating: 5/10
