Destiny plays a cruel joke on an extremely enthusiastic young girl Taani as she loses her fiancé and his family in a road accident on the eve of her marriage. on his death bed requests her to marry his old favorite student Surinder Shahani Taani obeys his last wish and thus begins the start of this extraordinary love story between an otherwise ordinar somewhat geeky Surinder has already fallen for Taani since the first time he has seen her but alls his hopes crash when Taani tells him the day they arrive at his house that she won’t be able to give him any love as that’s one feeling she has lost forever with the sudden turn of events in her life. The rest of the film is about how Suri transforms himself into a very hep flirtatious dude Raj to win her love using a dancing school as a platform for his antics. He is well aided with his childhood buddy Bobby who brings on the physical transformation in him. But what happens is Taani who is unaware of Raj being Suri himself ends up falling in love with Raj. Suri is now again in a fix but then he finally decides to take a bold step
The script has its moments and master craftsman Adi keeps you engaged initially with some really beautifully handled moments between king khan and Anushka. But king khan transformation comes in the grip slowly loosens and you start feeling restless with the pace slumping down considerably. What follows is a criss-cross between some really well penned and executed scenes and some really drab moments with badly placed songs acting as speed breakers. But Adi’s terrific dialogues deserve a special applause for touching the right chords.
Shah Rukh Khan is simply superb as first the shy Suri and then the flamboyant of energ Raj Newcomer Anushka gets a really well etched character to perform and it despite being her first filmshe comes across an absolute natural.
Music of the film is good but the problem is apart from a very well tuned and picturised Haule Haule number, the rest songs appear wrongly placed. The picturisation of the number featuring Kajol Preity Zinta Basu Lara Dutta and Rani is mind blowing but again it coming at a wrong juncture doesn’t really make it work.
