'Kehtaa Hai Dil Baar Baar'

By ApunKaChoice Bureau
Film critic, ApunKaChoice.Com




Kehtaa Hai Dil Baar Baar is an ambitious venture by director Rahul Dholakia who seems to have borrowed lot of inspiration from the Hollywood flick ‘Meet The Parents’ starring Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller.

Dholakia


toes the ‘tried and tested’ line by keeping the story of the film a bit stereotyped. Two lovers meeting parental opposition is one subject that has been explored too much on the silver screen. The only point where Dholakia could have scored is the style of presentation. But, sadly he has faltered.

The film’s narrative drags in the first half which focuses on the mushy sequences between Sunder and Ritu. The second half, however, is peppered with some hilarious moments that show Sunder trying vainly to impress Ritu’s stubborn father (Paresh Rawal).

Jimmy Shergill delivers a mediocre performance in a role that doesn’t seem to demand much of him. Particularly in the second half when Jimmy is pitted opposite the multi-talented Paresh Rawal, his histrionics turn pale in front of the ace comedian.

Kim Sharma on the other hand plays her part with ease without resorting to any hamming.

The best performance comes from Paresh Rawal who keeps the audience glued to their seats with his commendable comic timing and screen presence.

The film does have some emotional moments that are likely to pull a few strings at heart.
