Director: Samir Karnik
Music: Shankar Ehsaan Loy
Producer: Boney Kapoor
Dia (Aishwarya Rai) knows a little about love and dreams about meeting her dream man and living a life of happiness. Of course this isn’t something that differentiates her from countless other women around the world! Anyway, she meets a newspaper vendor called Ranga (Vivek Oberoi in disguise) who helps guide Dia in the right direction.
Meanwhile, Arjun (Vivek Oberoi again!) is the type of guy that doesn’t like to lose in life. He has seen his parents Om Puri and Rati Agnihotri behave with each other in life and thus wants an arranged marriage. He does not believe in love! Finally there’s a nice uncle (Amitabh Bachchan) who wants to play cupid and get the couple together. He runs an orphanage and has a bunch of naughty kids for company.
Although we won’t reveal too much about the surprise elements in the film, involving the likes of Sunil Shetty, Diya Mirza and Tinnu Anand, since this would make the mundane climax even more mundane!
Director Samir Karnik has the fundas right but the choice of storyline wrong. Even the jokes are stale. Shankar Ehsaan Loy provide the peppy moments in the film with some upbeat songs which have been imaginatively choreographed.
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's music is melodious, but is not the type that would compel you to watch the movie again. 'Pyaar Mein Sau Uljhane Hain', 'Aao Na' and 'No No' are the best tracks, although the latter looks forced in the narrative.
Vivek Oberoi tries hard to enact the role of a lover-boy, but succeeds partly. He impresses only towards the latter reels. Aishwarya Rai looks stunning and enacts her part well. Amitabh Bachchan is extremely likeable. Suniel Shetty is passable. Dia Mirza is there for just one scene. Om Puri and Rati Agnihotri are commendable. Tinnu Anand is adequate.
On the whole, KYUN! HO GAYA NA...celebrates love.
