A sweet romantic comedy. Review on Aap Ki Khatir

If you see a preview for Aap Ki Khatir before you go see it, you understand what type of movie this is. I was dragged to this film at the last minute. I did not expect much. I had heard that the reviews were terrible. I was pleasantly surprised. Shocked, more like it. I actually liked it. This may not be the classic flick, but it is sweet and well done for what it is.

In this sparkling romantic comedy,Priyanka plays Anu, a never-married Mumbaiker, who is invited to her parents London home for her younger sister[Amisha Patel]'s wedding. What should be a joyous occasion bodes disaster for Anu, however, when she discovers that the best man will be none other than her ex-fiancé[Dino Morea], who, two years before, inexplicably dumped her.

In a desperate attempt to face the ordeal with dignity, she hires Akshay Khanna, a professional male escort, to pose as her new boyfriend and follow her to the wedding. For Anu, what starts out as a pretend relationship with Akshay begins to turn into something entirely unexpected.

Must say a cute, non-threatening premise, for a genuinely cute, non-threatening, romantic comedy.You can't go in expecting masterpiece, because that's not what you'll get. AKK, however, is a glorious, indulgent movie that will leave you smiling.

The lead characters Akshay and Priyanka are a perfect match for each other There are several belly laughs coupled with a few moist-eyed moments making this a very good movie for teens and the young at heart, regardless of age.

As a director, Dharmesh Darshan is good. The light sequences in the first half or the interval point have been shot remarkably.But one of the major flaw is that the film has an urban look and feel to it and only a faction of cinegoers would take to this kind of a script.

Himesh’s music sounds good to the ears. The title track and Jaise’ can easily be singled out. The choreography of the title track in particular is spectacular. Cinematography is first-rate.

Akshay Khanna makes a sincere attempt to look the character. Dino looks cool as the casanova.Priyanka comes up with another superb performance, essaying her part with utmost sincerity. Amisha is another performer who does justice to her role.Sunil is alright.

Granted, it may not be nominated for any Filmfare awards, but it rates high marks as the movie's entertainment value is clearly worth the price of box office admission. I left the theater giggling to myself...
