A surprise like ''Aiyaa"

Browsing through the usual repeated and forgettable movies on three movie channels on a bored saturday evening, we chanced upon "aiyaa". Starring Rani Mukherjee ( my favorite) and Prithviraj (more than drool worthy... he knows to act...just like Surya), this movie was given a nasty review, and performed average on box office.

Some movies, I never seem to understand why are they not liked that much. I liked the movie, and it came in my list of time pass movies..

The movie starts with Ms. Mukherjee in a totally hilarious dream sequence. Later with  a neutrally funny father, a funny mother, a rib ticklingly funny grandmother and a zoned out but innocently funny brother and later a weirdo but funny colleague and fiance and a serious hero...the way Rani's character Meenakshi, follows the hero every where ( including loos, can you believe that) entranced and mesmerized by the smell he carried. It follows a sweet suspense which is revealed in the end.

This movie's story is taken from a marathi movie called "Gandha" having 3 stories , one of the stories, has same line.

If I can forget the irritating songs, except "mahek bhi" by shreya ghoshal, which incidentally has a whistle piece, which repeats in the smallest romantic moment, the movie is nice, not rib tickling funny, but laughter results are achieved.

I can definitely see this movie again.
