Kareena Kapoor: Milenge Milenge history

A movie like Milenge Milenge comes with loads of history, which requires us to rewind to 2004 when Shahid Kapur and Kareena Kapoor began their much publicised romance while shooting Fida

if you ever watched the movie?and whether you like it? definitely amazing is not it?

Though the film performed poorly at the box office, the couple were appreciated for their chemistry which resulted in movies such as 36 China Town, Chup Chup Ke and the mighty award-winning blockbuster Jab We Met in 2007 in which their chemistry was magical. However, it was early in 2007 that the Kapoor lass began shooting the debacle Tashan in which her co-star was Saif Ali Khan and, in a twist of fate, Kapoor and Kapur had a shocking split, resulting in the actress finding solace in Khan's arms.


While Kapoor and Khan have since had a steady relationship, Kapur has been linked to Priyanka Chopra and Vidya Balan. Sadly, when their romance was at a peak, the couple were signed for Milenge Milenge, a movie directed by Satish Kaushik and produced by Boney Kapoor who jokingly described the five-year delay as similar to a child growing up. Kaushik, on the other hand, admitted the movie faced roadblocks, heartburn and many challenges, but now they have revamped its entire look.

STORY:

Milenge Milenge is a movie about destiny and fate revolving around Priya (Kapoor) and Immy (Kapur) who meet at a youth conference in Bangkok. When Priya reluctantly consults a clairvoyant, the prediction claims she will meet her dream guy - someone who does not drink, smoke or lie. And as destiny would have it, she meets Immy, who drinks, lies and smokes at every opportunity, including smoking deviously while giving a lecture about the dangers of smoking. Immy is a smooth operator. However, when his deceit turns to friendship and romance, he decides to mend his ways, but this time fate plays a cruel game and teaches him a lesson that takes many years to overcome.

DIRECTION:

Generally, I am sceptical about delayed movies, especially when it has been in the making for almost five years. Sadly, Kaushik had to bear the brunt of financial problems and the animosity between the lead pair that resulted in difficulty with completing the shooting and the marketing campaigns. Despite these hurdles, Kaushik has made a straightforward, but sweet, romance that questions the impact of destiny in life and love. He manages to overcome the dated feel by delivering some heart-warming and loveable scenes, though there are some moments that are hard to digest.

PERFORMANCES:

Although Kapur and Kapoor look occasionally inconsistent and much younger, together they prove that their pairing is far more successful than the debacles Kapoor dished up with Saif Ali Khan in Tashan and Kurbaan. They deliver the goods with enjoyable performances.

MUSIC:

Himmesh Reshammiya, who has been low key in recent months, springs a surprise and delivers a good soundtrack. His great stroke was getting singing sensation Alka Yagnik for the title track.

WHAT I LIKED:

Kapur and Kapoor coming together and the tender moments that question destiny in our lives.

OVERALL:

This is a movie that appeals to family audiences as it's sweet and romantic. One can't help but note the irony with a title like Milenge Milenge, which means "we will keep meeting". I doubt the lead pair intend or care to meet again
