Storyline

Tarot Card Reader, Sunita Rao, informs Vasant Vihar-based idealist Priya Malhotra that she will meet her soul-mate on a beach in a foreign country. While in Bangkok she meets Immy, believes he is the one, but realizes that he had wooed her by stealing her diary. She decides to test destiny by asking him to fulfill three conditions - first of which is to attend on the same floor of a hotel; second: to locate a book on numerology that contains her name & phone number; and lastly asks him to write his contact details on a 50 Rupee note. She spends the money, and the book is left at a used bookstore. If both items are located by them, they truly are meant for each other. Immy is unable to locate her on any floor in the Hotel, and both re-locate - she to Mumbai and he to America. Three years later their marriages have been arranged with Sofiya Arora and Jatin, but neither are even close to locating the book nor the 50 Rupee note.

User Reviews

A very enjoyable romance

I wasn't awaiting too much from this movie, but I was agreeably surprised and enjoyed it a lot.

Contrary to the other reviewers here, I didn't find it dated. It's a romance. If you find this one dated, then you find them *all* dated.

What I liked about this romance is that instead of fighting and making up or not knowing what they want, the characters in Milenge Milenge spend most of the movie desperately looking for each other. It's different, and it gave a good rhythm to the story. I also liked the fact that it wasn't too cheesy and that it focused the plot on the idea of destiny rather that on unconditional and extraordinary love.

Also, a reviewer said the film wasn't funny. Well it's not really supposed to, since it's far more a romance than a rom-com. Only let's say the first half hour has some humour and, I thought, it managed to be funny.

Acting , directing etc. are OK.

Really, there isn't anything awful in this movie. If you don't like romances, even the un-cheesy ones, well stay away from it. Otherwise, if you don't have anything against the genre, go for it! :)
