Deepika Padukone may have lost a few points with the disaster that was Chandni Chowk to China, but the dusky beauty is still considered one of India’s most beautiful women. What’s more, she is considered one of the world’s most beautiful women, and by someone who matters. Hollywood director Rob Cohen recently said that Deepika Padukone is ‘gorgeous’ and in fact, ‘more beautiful than Angelina Jolie.
Cohen, who has directed films like The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and The Fast and the Furious, has expressed an interest in working with Deepika. Reports claim that talks are on between him and Deepika’s
agents, but nothing has been finalised yet.
It seems Deepika’s appearance on leading magazines like Vogue, Elle, Cosmopolitan as well as her endorsement of international brands like Pepsi, Tissot and Maybelline have impressed Cohen and he can’t wait
to cast this young, beautiful and talented girl in his film.

Story
Dhruv (manoj) is a man who loves challenges and he is on his way to Singapore along with his friends Kailash (janardhan) and Raman. He is at the Kuala Lumpur airport waiting for the flight and here comes Harika (harika) along with her aggressive friend. She is on her way to India and is likely to meet her prospective husband so if all goes well, she would get engaged. An incident takes place and Dhruv bumps across Harika. It is love at first sight for him and he decides to win her heart. On the other hand, Harika is a girl who believes in planning and being systematic. Now, Dhruv has got just two hours to express his love and also get a positive answer from Harika. Is he successful or not forms the rest of the story.
Performances
Manoj looks handsome but for some reason he was unable to emote few innocent expressions naturally. He looked inconsistent in his performance. Harika has got really expressive eyes and though she is not beautiful, she has that cute look and her eyes do most of the talking. Janardhan provided a major relief with his dialogues and performance, the other friends also added humor to the otherwise dull session. Brahmanandam failed to fire this time and barring one or two moments, there was nothing much for him. There are no others in this movie to talk about.
Critic’s view
The film is quite mild and though the message is about falling in love at first sight, the possibilities are such things are quite rare in real life so audience might find it hard to connect. While the first half goes about with the hero meeting the heroine and trying to meet her again and again, the second half goes about trying to impress her and win her heart. Except the last fifteen minutes or so, the film does not really take off with any hearty humor and even the scene of falling in love at first sight lacked the depth. The film might just be a mediocre treat for the teen audience but the fact is, it is not a memorable journey for the viewers in the theatres.
OverAll (Punch Line)
Just okay! You Can Watch it Once.
