Story:
The film revolves around two central characters Rahul (Imran Khan) and Riana (Kareena Kapoor). Rahul is jobless and is basically tired of his oh-so-ordinary and not-so-happening life. One fine night he meets a full of life hair stylist Riana who is completely opposite to him. They get drunk and spend the night roaming around the city. The next day they discover that while in high spirits they get hitched to each other and decide to break the unannounced marriage. But the next 14 days of their life changes them forever and that’s what the whole film is all about.
Analysis:
At first the film would appear like the regular rom com that have flooded Bollywood in past so many years but allow us to tell you that the film stands out in the league. The film has a soul that will sweep you off your feet and touch your heart at the same time. Director Shakun Batra has done the job of helming the film with ease. He knows what he is doing and the confidence just perfectly reflects in the film.
Performances:
Though Kareena and Imran’s pairing was touted to be odd but yet they are successful in winning your hearts as an onscreen couple. Kareena’s vivacious character reminds you of her bubbly character as ‘Geet’ in ‘Jab we Met’ and in this one too she will leave you in awe of her. Imran as a geeky character too has performed decently well and with this flick he has proved that there’s more to him than what meets the eye.
Technicalities: Music by Amit Trivedi is just soothing and enjoyable. It stays with you even after the film is over and just provides the right amount of drama at regular intervals. The title track and ‘Aunty ji’ are the peppy number which gives you some foot tapping moments. And then there are soft numbers like Gubbare Gubbare and Aahatein that just touches your hearts and souls.
All in all the film is a sweet flick and a perfect treat to shower yourself and your loved ones on this Valentine. Go out and have a good time with ‘Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu’ as this one is too sweet to be missed.
Plus Points: Imran – Kareena pairing, music
Minus Points: Gives a déjà vu feeling
Final Word: Perfect treat this Valentine, has a feel good factor
