Mere Jeevan Saathi

I tend to avoid Suneel Darshan films because they are usually pathetic. The reason why I gave this one a go was because I'd heard that Karishma Kapoor was doing a negative role and I wanted to see how she pulled that off. Karishma really hams her way through (like she does in almost all her films) by overdoing her seductress act. Kudos to the person who accurately describes her as a combination of a stoned Marlene Dietrich and the psychopathic rabbit from 'Watership Down'. Due to lousy dialogues and bad direction Akshay Kumar's performance does suffer. Perhaps he just did the movie as a favour because he looks as though he could care less. Amisha Patel isn't acting. She's rehearsing for a soap opera. 'Mere Jeevan Saathi' may have made for an episode of a TV soap. The songs are plain boring but I liked 'Mashooka' because of its catchiness and Alisha Chinoy's voice. There isn't much else to say regarding this film because it's all atrocious.
