Mature and Serious yet (at moments) Dumb

Normally Drama and Comedy can work in some films (i.e. Biwi No. 1) but at other times its best left drama (i.e. Black). Here at moments you would wish that its fate would end up like Black. Comedy is a very difficult theme and bringing up a serious issue in. This movie adds comedy to light up a couple of scenes, but it doesn't work. Though this is a good movie, the impact could've been larger without the comedy. The story is very nice and makes good use of it. The pace of the movie is perfect (besides the editing), not too slow, not too fast. Aishwarya Rai is amazing. She is here for facial expressions, not speaking, and that is where she excels. Anil Kapoor was also really good. He shares good chemistry with Aish, and the role works for him. Unfortunately the chemistry between Anil-Sonali wasn't great. But Sonali's role was very limited, but makes an impact. She looks beautiful as always, and suits this role well. The songs were either good or average. The title song was a good song, but my favorite was Shukriya Shukriya (Thank You, Thank You). Not only is it catchy and fits the movie well, Aishwarya looks beautiful and dances like an angel. The other catchy song was Kya Maine Aaj Suna (What Did I Hear Today?). But Anil Kapoor has to get over the fact that he is old to be dancing to these kind of songs. This movie will be hated by some, but LOVED by Aishwarya Rai, Sonali Bendre and Anil Kapoor fans.
