Aap Kaa Surroor -- The Moviee
The Real Luv Story
Direction: Prashant Chadha
Cast: Himesh Reshammiya, Hansika Motwani, Mallika Sherawat
Rating: *1/2
Let's get two things out of the way. Himesh Reshammiya is no actor. And the music of the film is no big deal.
Having given himself the chance to act in a feature, one wonders why Himesh didn't pay any attention to the fact that the storyline should at least be interesting if not convincing--never mind if it's real or not. What you get here is the usual tale--boy loves girl but can't tell her, boy is falsely accused of murder and girl almost married off to another man.
Himesh plays himself, a world class singer HR, who, on a concert tour in Germany has two things happen to him. He meets and falls in love with his event manager Riya (Hansika Motwani), who does absolutely no event managing post meeting him. Secondly, he is accused of murdering a TV reporter who was doing a sting operation on him.
For the rest of the film then he spends his time either trying to convince Riya's father (Sachin Khedekar) that he is the right guy for his daughter or he tries to find the actual murderer.
There are some rather hilarious scenes on the way, one in which his business manager tells him that if his nose is cut (like in naak katjayegi) how would he sing and another when on the run from the police, he is suddenly assisted by three Mumbai rickshawallahs, who run amuck amongst the dumbfounded German policemen.
If only the rest of the film had been in the same vein, light and funny. Instead it gets all serious and heavy and even Mallika Sherawat's 'Mehbooba mehbooba' number, which comes after the film is over, can't save it.
