'Kitne Door Kitne Paas'

By N K Deoshi
Film critic, ApunKaChoice.Com

Mehul Kumar, film’s director has relied too much on coincidence to build chemistry between his two lead characters.

Jatin(Fardeen) and Karishma(Amrita) keep running into each other for the major part of the movie. They meet at the airport, on way from US to India, and both of them are going back to marry the girl or boy of their parents’ choice.

Jatin

is going to tie knot with a simple Indian girl Jaya (Sonali Kulkarni) while Karishma too has almost consented to marry Nimesh (Ayub Khan).

After coming to India they both take the same taxi and are headed for the same destination Vijayanagar in Gujarat. The film’s plot is just too archetypal and banal that one can almost predict the next scene. That is – they take a bus, which, for some strange reasons, is meant for married couples only. So, Jatin and Karishma have to pretend to be husband and wife. It is exactly here that the chemistry between them changes from aversion to infatuation and later into love.

Fardeen Khan’s emotive range in playing a lover boy seems to be quite a narrow. Be it “Jungle”, “Pyar Tune Kya Kiya” or “Kitne Door..” it is the same man before the camera every time. As an actor he has yet to learn to convey the subtle nuances that are peculiar to every different character. He simply picks up different demeanors from his limited repertory and mouths his dialogues without actually feeling what he says.

As for Amrita, she is chirpy and a-little-snooty. She easily slips into the role of a US-bred girl who has yet not lost her Indian roots. But she still has to go far to get a firm foothold in Bollywood.

On the margins Sonali Kulkarni is wasted in a role that not only has skimpy footage but is also without any potential. In a similar role Ayub Khan too fails to make any impression, whatsoever. Besides this, comic attempts from Tiku Talsania and Ketaki Dave hardly invokes any laughter.
