2010 starts on a disappointing note for Bollywood with Dulha Mil Gaya. Although not many hopes were pinned on this movie which is in making for 4 years but when u get a product which is as outdated, clichéd and so stale that it looks like a 1990’s family movie , it disappoints. It’s a story about 4 individuals who have different take on relationship and when their paths cross how they end up influencing each other.
Donzai aka Taj Dhan Raj (Fardeen Khan) – a rich debonair playboy is petrified of terms like Commitment and Marriage because of marital discord between his parents. In order to access the inheritance left by his father, he has to marry his father’s friend’s Daughter Samarpreet Kapoor (Ishita Sharma) within 15 days. As planned by him and his lawyer (Vivek Vaswani), he goes to Punjab and gets married to Samarpreet and return after promising that he will come back and take her along with him. When Donzai doesn’t contact her for 3 months, Samarpreet decides to go to Trinidad all alone to check whether his husband is in any sort of problem, but when she sees her husband dancing intimately with some girls she realizes that she has been tricked.
Due to an accident, Samarpreet bumps into Shimmer (Sushmita Sen) – a haughty supermodel and Donzai’s friend, who polishes her from being a Simple village girl to a gorgeous sexy girl, Samaira Kapoor, who wears revealing dresses and speaks fluent English. Donzai falls in love with this girl but also realizes his mistake and responsibility towards his estranged wife Samrpreet that’s when Samaira reveal her real identity. In parallel, Samarpreet enlightens Shimmer that her multimillionaire head-over-heels lover PRJ (Shahrukh Khan) should be the most important thing in her life rather than a career, which makes Shimmer propose PRJ for marriage. In this way both brides get their dulhas and we get a headache.
Sushmita Sen looked Gorgeous. Ishita Sharma played her part with ease and can be the face to look out for. Fardeen Khan was Average. Shahrukh Khan does what he does in most of his movies – Wooing a girl and showing how to woo a girl with ease. Cinematography was good.
Sushmita Sen was good in some scenes and pathetic in some. The narrative is not good enough to be engrossing. Music also wasn’t good and songs keep popping to make an otherwise dull movie duller. The film would have done average had it been released in 1990s.
Avoid this one on DVD as well until or unless you are a big Fan of Shahrukh Khan or Sushmita Sen, who can get brave through two and a half hours just to watch them on screen.
