Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi (2001)
Good old fashioned fun!
When I first went in to see KKKM, I thought that I was in for a bad time, because the first 15 minutes seem extremely unpromising. However, as the movie progressed, it picks up charmingly. The basic premise is a trite one-- the exchange of twins(played so naturally by Kajol that she gets two mentions in the credits)at birth when the parents(Rishi Kapoor and Rati, back after a long time, and looking as if it was just yesterday...)separate, and how the twins reverse the process, ultimately bringing peace to the household. While the movie is nothing great in terms of story or technique, there is a lovely light-hearted treatment of the screenplay by director Rawail(no stranger to Hindi cinema) quite similar to the Hrishikesh Mukherjee-Shakti Samanta comedies of the 70s. The performances are good, especially from Kajol(and Kajol), Rishi and Rati(who have amazing chemistry between them). Sunil Shetty is nice too. All in all a good enjoyable movie, see it with the kids on a lazy Sunday morning, its great "time pass" for the family.
Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin (1991)
A Really Poor Copy of It Happened One Night.
Mahesh Bhatt is renowned for his plagiarism, but seldom has he done as bad a job as in this movie. The movie borrows heavily from Roman Holiday, Summer Holiday and even Houseboat, but to no proper use. Despite great performances from Amir Khan, Pooja Bhatt (Mahesh's daughter) and Anupam kher the movie was a washout. RATED-2 ON 10
