English Babu Desi Mem (1996)
Some entertainment value
English Babu Desi Mem combines many elements: romance, drama, comedy and music. At times choppy, it did fulfill those elements, though weakly at times. Both the conflict and romance between Vikram and Bijiriya (shabrukh Khan and ) could be felt, the chemistry was there. The love between Bijiriya and Nandu (Sunny Singh) was full of affection and devotion. I was quite taken with Sunny Singh's performance actually. There were serious elements in the movie, and they were portrayed sincerely. The poignancy is what I will remember most when I look back on this film. The comedy was goofy, but that was largely a result of zooming in on the characters'whenever they made exaggerated faces. I liked quite a bit of the songs/lyrics, and the dancing was well done, a credit to a good choreographer.
