Main Aur Mrs Khanna is heaps of romantic mush that tries too, too hard to pull your heartstrings but fails miserably. PERIOD.
Remember all those romantic dramas from the 1990s that had countless dialogues about bura waqt, farz, pyaar ka ehsaas and more of such romantic guck. ‘Main Aur Mrs Khanna’ has tons of it. One such dialogue that Salman Khan mouths more than once in the film is: “Achchey waqt ki ek burai hoti hai: woh badal jaata hai. Aur burey (bad) waqt ki achchayi hai ki woh zyada der nahin rahta”. True indeed. Because the experience of watching Main Aur Mrs Khanna ends after just a little over two hours.
The film tells a story of a married couple buffeted by financial crises. Samir Khanna (Salman) first spots Raina (Kareena Kapoor) at an orphanage in Dalhousie and instantly falls in love with her. After a little wooing, he wins her love and marries her.
CUT…the next thing we see is a pale faced Raina sitting on a couch in a swanky apartment in Melbourne as Samir walks in shaking off his morning sleep and asking for a cup of coffee. The reason why she’s pale is because of Samir’s nose-diving career in financial market. It’s clear that love has fizzled out between the couple. No matter how hard she tries to please or comfort Samir, he has a stern expression on his face, looks in empty space while she talks to him, and walks out of the room even as she longs him to be with her.
The SOLUTION - change the place if you can’t change bad times. The self-centered Samir decides on his own to shift to Singapore and pack his wife off to Dalhousie. In justification he mouths a few lofty dialogues about “financial stability” being crucial for a marriage, and, of course, the aforesaid dialogue about “bura waqt”.
But Raina doesn’t board the flight to Delhi. At the airport she meets Aakash (Sohail Khan) who works as a waiter in a café and falls for her at first site. Thereafter, starts a new track between Aakash and his Mrs. Khanna. He loves her, but she keeps daydreaming about her loveless hubby who’s chalking out a new career for himself in a distant galaxy, it seems. And just when Aakash decides to pour out his heart to Raina, Mr. Khanna walks in.
