Abhishek Bachchan's second release, after J.P. Dutta's Refugee, is Vashu Bhagnani's Tera Jadoo Chal Gayaa. Vashu has an enviable track record as a film producer -- Coolie No. 1, Hero No. 1, Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Biwi No. 1 -- have been smash hits, so his next release raises a lot of expectations obviously. Starring Abhishek Bachchan and new-find Kirti Reddy, Tera Jadoo Chal Gayaa is a love story with music Ismail Darbar, who won awards and accolades for his compositions in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. The film, directed by A. Mutthu, who used to edit David Dhawan's films earlier, is slated for release in July. Here's an insight into this film.
The story: She's rich and famous... she has the world at her feet... Pooja (Kirti Reddy) keeps dreaming and turns up late for work everyday. This bright girl is an assistant director in 'No. 1 Advertising Agency' and is talented enough to make all her dreams come true. Her boss, Mr. Oberoi (Kader Khan), is a tolerant man who usually excuses her late coming.
A friend's wedding takes her to Agra where she meets Kabir (Abhishek Bachchan), a local videographer. Kabir is a generous and wonderful guy and the whole city simply adores him. Totally bewitched by the stunning and sophisticated Pooja, Kabir keeps clicking her pictures. In the midst of the wedding festivities, Pooja too unwittingly encourages him and Kabir is convinced that she's is in love with him.
By the time he musters up his courage to propose to her, Pooja, having prolonged her stay leaves Agra in a hurry. Kabir is heartbroken.
When Pooja resumes work, she discovers she's in big trouble. This time her boss, Mr. Oberoi, has had enough. He's ready to fire her. Just in time, her friend, Maggi (Johny Lever), picks up a photograph where Kabir and she are posing romantically against the Taj Mahal and tells the boss that this time Pooja had a genuine excuse for coming late. She's got engaged in Agra. Pooja is horrified at the lie, but the boss calms down and forgives her immediately. Her job is saved.
And then Pooja meets the man of her dreams, Raj (Sanjay Suri), the boss' handsome son, and falls in love. Finally, everything seems to be going her way but there's one big problem... everybody in her office, including Raj and his father, believe she's engaged to be married soon. Pooja and Maggi hatch another plot. They make up a story that Pooja's fiancée has turned out to be such a rotten scoundrel that she's been forced to break off her engagement. Pooja is delighted that she's finally free.
Little does she know that a determined Kabir has left Agra and is on his way to meet the woman of his dreams -- Pooja.
