THE PLOT –

I have never been ever so optimistic (read hopeful) about a change in my fortunes than those moments when about half an hour into the movie – I began noticing the attires of the star cast on display. I really hoped and hoped and hoped the movie would save itself and at least offer a ‘one-time see’ experience. But what unfolded was pure horror – an agonizingly amateurish script, coupled with no sensibility quotient and extremely poor screenplay.

Main Aur Mrs. Khanna is about a couple who are forced to live apart in troubled professional times for the husband and when everything is just about to be happily ever after, the husband discovers mythical pain-points in incidents that happened while he was away.

THE CAST –

Salman Khan has tried hard to lift the sinking ship, ably supported in patches by Yash Tonk.

However, Kareena Kapoor, Sohail Khan and in fact props like Nauheed Cyrusi, Dino Morea and Bappi Lahiri have been really out of place and optional with respect to the story (if there ever was one) to say the least.

The only highlight to some extent was the ageing but glittering Preity Zinta – yes, the only part that was Happening so to state.

THE MUSIC –

Sajid-Wajid have always been bankable composers and scored some of the most soulful numbers, especially in Salman Khan flicks. They don’t really disappoint this time either.

Don’t Say Alvida & Rabba are really well made numbers and the kind that will ensure some shelf life for Main Aur Mrs. Khanna – the album.

The cherry of the lot is definitely Happening, the video being surprisingly good looking too.

THE VERDICT –

Main Aur Mrs. Khanna is a definite non-starter. In fact, it is so pathetic that you will actually find yourself stretched even though this one is just about two hours long.

A non-existent storyline with a blurred plot and terrible dialogues & screenplay drive more nails to the coffin than needed.

Whatever points you find on offer below are entirely in admiration of Happening – it’s a pity that such a great number had to bite the dust with the movie.

Steer clear from this one.

THE SCORE –

2.50 / 10.00
