'Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega'

By N K Deoshi
Film critic, ApunKaChoice.Com

Love multiplied by crime equals fun – so goes the title of one of the songs in the film. The equation also captures the essence of the film. When three slap-happy lovelorn lads go astray and take law in their hands for the heck of a few millions and take Sapna captive, that’s when the fun begins. But if anything can go wrong then it will. Sapna’s life is endangered when the real baddies enter the picture.

E. Niwas’ directorial debut “Shool” was a serious movie and didn’t do well at the box office but “Love Ke Liye..” shows his adeptness in handling a comic subject. The characters in the film are not larger-than-life superheroes but ordinary street-smart mortals whose moral values dwindle in the face of impecunious circumstances.

Khan does look funny impersonating the wishy-washy gunda trying desperately to make some money (whatever way) so that he could grease a few palms and get a decent job. Equally comical is Aftab Shivdasani who dreams of all the riches in the world but lives in rags. The chemistry between the duo is pretty impressive particularly when they are caught in some hilarious situations.

Saif Ali Khan has proved his aptitude for comedy in films like “Main Khiladi Tu Anari” (and others of the same genre) and maintains his ease before the camera. The two girls (Twinkle and Sonali) do their part of looking good to the hilt.

E. Niwas has also painted a funny picture of the nexus between Mumbai film industry and underworld in the film. In one scene Harry tries to convince an underworld don Aslam bhai (Johny Lever) about his chances of becoming a successful actor and woo Aishwarya Rai. In another sequence Aslam Bhai is duped by a self-confessed talent hunter Aaj Kapoor (Snehal Dhabi) who robs him of money with flimsy promises of roping in Rahman to compose music for their film.

“Love Ke Liye..” brings a welcome respite after the serious fare (like “Gadar” and “Lagaan”) that Bollywood’s celluloid factories turned out recently. The film is unabashedly light-hearted and funny and will have you in splits.

Rating: Worth a watch.
