Ek mai aur ekk tu...



My rating: 3 and a half stars out of 5.
Starring: Kareena Kapoor, Imran Khan, Boman Irani and Ratna Pathak.

Rahul Kapoor (Imran Khan) is an architect in Las Vegas trying to fulfill all the expectations his parents have from him, making him uptight and straight-laced. On losing his job and falling into an abyss of hopelessness, he meets Riana Braganza (Kareena Kapoor), a hair stylist. They drink the whole night and finally end up marrying each other. They plan to annul the marriage and in the process become very good friends. They story then progresses showing how Rahul found himself in the time he spends with Riana who is everything he isn't.
The movie is a sweet tale of friendship between two opposites. Imran Khan and Kareena being the most unlikely couple on screen, look quite real together, though Kareena's role was essentially the common happy-go-lucky girl she plays mostly. The movie took the basic idea from What Happens in Vegas but the over-all take is very different and fresh. Imran looked adorable in the timid role he played. The fact that the movie had cool feet-tapping music just added the relief from the daily life the movie was set out to give.
