Main Meri Patni Aur Woh : Fresh Air

When I saw this movie for the first time, I could not believe that Bollywood can produce this kind of movie. Its fresh air from the same factory where most of the movie which come-out or remake of Hollywood movies in Bollywood style. This is a Bollywood movie but there is nothing "Bollywood" about it, except makeup of heroine (Rituparna Sengupta), in fact that was the demand of the character. This movie is close to my heart reason for its simplicity and the story it tells. That could be me you or someone else.

The film's plot revolves around an odd couple, Mithilesh Shukla (Rajpal) and his much taller, more attractive wife, Veena (Rituparna). But the story begins with showing Mithelesh as a bachelor who was responsible of marrying his brothers and sister and now he is 34. Due to the pressure from his mother and Mama ji he agrees to see the girl but he is somehow pre planned to reject the girl. But he does not want to embarrass anyone by rejecting. But when he sees the girl his embarrassment of rejecting turns in fear of getting rejected.

Like a typically average middle class man, Mithilesh does not like people being around his wife Veena. He is annoyed by people being overtly attentive to Veena every day, and desperately seeks a solution from Lord Shiva, whom he pacifies with a daily dose of milk and bananas. To add to his problem there comes an tall handsome and stylish software engineer Akash, who happens to be Veena's friend (Kay Kay Menon). Now Mitheles trouble increases, he want to be just like him, because he believes that Akash is the perfect man. What happens later is the cream of story and you got to see that by yourself, but I have one word to the movie "Wow"!

Now Rajpal yadav is in the list of my favorite actors (other are Om Puri, Nsheeruddin Shah, Amitabh Bachhan, Aamir Khan, Kay Kay Menon). So far Rajpal Yadav was doing some small time role in big budget movies but he has left his presence felt. But this movie has brought the best out of him. Thanks to Chandan Arora, who second time also took him in the lead role.

This is second movie of Editor turned Director, Chandan Arora. The first one to his credit was "Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hun". And I am eagerly waiting for his next movie.

Salman an easy escapgoat.

There are so many incident happening around and we get to see justice very now and then. But in this case even though it was not quick but justice was served. But this is somehow over exaggeration by justice department. I wish, the same way justice department worked for other cases filed against all our leaders, the biggest culprits.

I strongly feel that someone is personally settling the score with him, someone who has a very strong hold in Delhi and it will not be over estimate to say "Underworld".

I don't know the fate of this but there are so many people killing innocent people for no reason or sometimes with some silly reason. Do they get the justice? May be someday the justice department will take the similar action in such cases too.

I am not advocating Mr Salman, I am just trying to understand the ground realities. If he is guilty punish him but punish other guilty and give a lesson to those who are out there doing the same or similar crime.

I may be wrong, but you cannot rule out of the possibility of someone settling score with him . That is my opinion what do you think is some one working full time behind him or is it just his very very bad time?

Here is story from NDTV.
