MILENGE MILENGE: Destined for doom

Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU): Students' Unions can not be banned

TSI Five-O: Serendipity is the only way you'd wind up watching it!

An afternoon newspaper carried a story on how Shahid Kapoor decided to skip his film 'Milenge Milenge' to watch the latest Tom Cruise flick instead. Well, let's just say you cannot blame Shahid for not having the guts to face up the appalling piece of work that is his latest (dud) rom com. 'Milenge Milenge' is so old that Shahid and Kareena used to be an item when it was filming and 'size zero' had not entered the Kapoor lass's lexicon.

Apart from the stretched story ('Serendipity' is the Hollywood flick from where it liberally borrows, but making fate and coincidences look ridiculous has always been a Bollywood specialty), wooden acting and hum drum music, viewers will have a tough time connecting with a couple whose dynamics off-screen have changed so dramatically from the time the movie is set in. And so has the world. The recycled jokes and dated gags only make the script sag further rather than lifting it up. We have Kareena Kapoor as Priya, who finds out from a tarot card reader that she'll find the love of her life at a particular place on a particular day in the form of a person who's wearing a particular set of clothes. Immy (Shahid Kapoor) happens to be person and Priya is convinced they are meant to be together. What follows is a fairly weak and predictable script and whatever you make of the 'Shahid-Kareena back again' hype, the couple cannot save the film from realising its destiny of being a disaster.
