'I, Me Aur Main': Movie Review

1st March 2013

Cast: John Abrahm, Chitrangada and Prachi Desai

Director: Kapil Sharma

Rating: 2.5/5

John charms, but the film doesn't!

 

Three good looking actors, aesthetically shot serene locations, and a story that caters to today's young generation. Half your job of making a film that will pull the audiences to the theatres is done.

Now, the tough part is keeping the audiences entertained. So does debutante director Kapil Sharma's 'I Me Aur Main' manage to achieve this feat? Well, not really.

The film is about music producer Ishaan Sabharwal (John Abraham) who is living in with his girlfriend Anushka Lal (Chitrangada Singh). Ishaan, as most boys are, is commitment-phobic.

When things go haywire in his professional life, his personal relationship too is affected and he is thrown out of the house by his lady love. He now has a new house where he meets a new girl who is his neighbour Gauri Dandekar (Prachi Desai).

Sharma manages to make a decent film, however, it does appear to be soggy in some parts. John Abraham does a good job as the self-centered 'Ishaan' who only thinks about himself. He is exceedingly good-looking and a perfect cast for this character.

Chitrangada Singh is good but she now has to change her monotonous image. Prachi Desai adds spunk to the film and gets a smile on your face every time she is in front of the camera.

Mini Mathur, Raima Sen and Zarina Wahab perform well in their respective roles. The music of the film is nothing great and will soon be forgotten. The 'Cappuccino' song is a complete rip off from 'The Departed'.

The cinematography is mediocre. The screenplay loses its charm at most places and could have been made more interesting for the viewers.

'I Me Aur Main' is surely not an outstanding film, but still is a one-time watch.
