Dulha Mil Gaya Movie Reviews

he problem with Dulha Mil Gaya lies in the fact that it has nothing new to offer. And that's ironical at a time when almost every film that falls off Bollywood's conveyor belt is brimming over with newness: new ideas, new plots, new musical notes, new actors, new narrative styles. Unforgivable. The Jassi jaisi make-over isn't the only old hat in this film. It's the good ole gaon ki gori syndrome that fills you with a sense of deja vu too.

Dulha Mil Gaya is not a bad film at all. I have to admit that I entered the screening of the film with some trepidation. I’m not a big fan of the lead actors – Fardeen Khan and Sushmita Sen – and the promos didn’t look exciting either. Just before the film started, a fellow journalist was quick to whisper in my ear that his hopes weren’t too high either. The opening sequence seemed to confirm my fears. The butler of a superstar, Shimmer (Sen) fumbles and fights

Dulha Mil Gaya starring Fardeen Khan and Sushmita Sen, has been four years in the making, but has arrived almost fifteen years too late. A predictable old-fashioned entertainer that's a throwback to those homogenous family films of the mid-90s, Dulha Mil Gaya borrows so much from the Yash Chopra/Karan Johar school of synthetic filmmaking that it's hard to tell if there's anything original to this story at all. Fardeen Khan stars as NRI playboy Donzai

The best thing about this not half-bad if overlong film, in which not one, but two `dulhas’ come to the fore, is Sushmita Sen. Yes, the lady’s back, and that’s a happy thing, because Bollywood was sorely missing an actor who can combine sexy and funny in just such a rumbustious fashion. It’s got to do with the way her character is set up. Shimmer is a world-class model, based in Trinidad, with an adoring staff. She is all polished pro on the surface

The recipe is simple and uncomplicated...Take MY FAIR LADY. Add DULHAN WAHI JO PIYA MAN BHAAYE. Spray NASEEB APNA APNA. Sprinkle DILWALE DULHANIA LE JAYENGE and RAB NE BANA DI JODI. Hey presto, DULHA MIL GAYA is ready to serve. In fact, MY FAIR LADY has been a hot favourite of Bollywood. Recall MAN PASAND [Dev Anand, Tina Munim] or HUM TERE AASHIQ HAIN [Jeetendra, Hema Malini]. Similarly, a number of storytellers

Hrithik Roshan has a clone in Hurman Baweja. Shahid Kapur often lapses into Shah Rukh Khan mode. But would one have ever thought that Archana Puran Singh would have a copy someday? With a fake accent, OTT mannerisms and an overbearing screen presence from reel one to 15, Sushmita Sen in Dulha Mil Gaya is a nightmarish rehash of the Jalwa girl who now makes a living laughing the loudest on comedy shows on television. A high-flying diva, Sushmita

Dulha Mil Gaya literally breaks new grounds with taking a Bollywood plot to Trinidad and Tobago. But beyond that this marriage miscarriage movie moves east of West Indies to introduce India for the zillionth time as nothing more than a small village in pastureland Punjab. So you are supposed to believe that Tej Dhanraj (Fardeen Khan) is a billionaire-bachelor-playboy and to retain all these adjectival attributes he has to agree to his late father’s will

Donzai is the debonair of the West Indies, the cad who can’t commit. He throws away millions of bucks merely partyin’ for a livin’. The gate of his house has the imprint ‘D’ -- inside’s a pool full of white unknowns. He has bronze hair that changes colours, face that squares to the double chin, and a belly that doesn't show. He still walks around and lights up ciggies with a particular swagger. Fardeen Khan at best appears a parody
