Dushyant
(Shah Rukh Khan), Jaya (Raveena Tandon), Sujit (Mohnish Bahl) and
Nisha (Navneet Nishan) have been close friends since school.
Dushyant
dreams of becoming a singer, but is short of money to promote his
ability. His girlfriend Jaya helps him to do just that.
But
when Dushyant becomes a singing sensation, he begins to pay less
attention to Jaya. So tension is created in their relationship.
Taking
advantage of the situation, Sujit and Nisha start to poison Dushant's
mind against Jaya.
Why?
Seeing that Dushyant is now loaded with money, Nisha wants to get
married to him.
Meanwhile,
Nisha's father, Mr Dhingra, offers financial support to Dushyant
but he declines his help.
So
Mr Dhingra and Sujit decide to carry out their plan of marrying
Nisha to Dushyant so as to get their hands on his wealth. But Dushyant
sees the better of them.
What
happens next is predictable fare and crammed full of cliches.
Director
Birendra Nath Tiwari 's Yeh Lamhe Jaadi Ke is sure to flop
at the UK box office.
This
is due
not only to a routine storyline seen thousands of times before but
also the film took a long time in the making.
The
main drawback with this movie is that it has taken a long time in
the making and even longer to reach the UK cinemas.
Consequently,
Shah Rukh and Raveena appear young and their costumes outdated which
does not help the movie's selling.
Apart
from the main stars, the film consists of scenes involving a group
of newcomers we have not seen before in Bollywood films. So the
film loses its appeal.
Also
the director should have paid more attention to the song sequences.
In one of the songs, we witness visuals of the main actors rather
than the actors singing.
The
cinematography and dubbing appear shoddy throughout.
On
the whole, this film is best avoided unless you are a die hard
Shah Rukh Khan fan who wishes to see each and every movie of his!
