CRITIC REVIEW:

VERDICT:

Debutant Director Shakun Batra's 'Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu' is A Decent Effort, that has its moments. It has some merits, that work on its advantage. However, the Slow-Pace as well as the Abstract Culmination play a spoil-sport.

'Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu' Synopsis: A few drinks too many leads an uptight architect and quick- witted hairstylist to marry in Las Vegas. Can a mistake lead to friendship and love?

'Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu' borrows its basic premise from the Hollywood Hit 'What Happens In Vegas', but otherwise the film is original, as much as I can recall. The film begins tepidly, but gathers momentum when the protagonists get hitched accidentally. Ayesha Devitre & Shakun Batra's Screenplay has its moments. However, as mentioned, the Slow-Pace & the Abstract & Unconvincing Culmination play a spoil-sport. The pacing definitely could've been faster & the culmination needed to be Convincing. Shakun Batra's Direction, shows immense promise. The Debutant has the spark one expects from a filmmaker. Cinematography is perfect. Editing is fair. Music by Amit Trivedi, is passable.

Performance-Wise: Kareena Kapoor is dependable, as always. Imran Khan has improved as an actor & he does impress in some scenes, especially in the scene where he confronts his parents. Boman Irani is superb. Ratna Pathak Shah is as usual. Ram Kapoor & Sonia Mehra are winsome in cameos. The actors who play Kareena's Parents, are extremely charming. 

On the whole, 'Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu' is flawed, but a decent watch nonetheless.

Karan Johar is returning this week to woo the box office with a romantic comedy which coincides with the Valentine's Day revelries. He has teamed up with the fresh pair of Imran Khan andKareena Kapoor to attract the audiences.

Directed by debutant Shakun Batra, the film's cast has Boman Irani, Ratna Pathak Shah and Ram Kapoor and it will be released on 1,200 screens worldwide. It is made at an approximate budget of Rs.25-30 crore.

In "Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na", Ratna had played Imran's mother, but her character in the new film is a complete contrast.

In the film, Rahul Kapoor (Imran), an architect in Vegas, loses his job, but doesn't share the bad news with his parents and secretly starts the job hunt. His life takes a turn when Riana Braganza (Kareena), a quick-witted hairstylist, enters his life.

They meet and after a fun-filled night of debauchery, Rahul and Ria wake up to discover they've got married. They decide to annul their marriage, but in the course of next 10 days they stay together, fight, laugh and end up developing an unlikely friendship which eventually turns into love.

The film was earlier titled "Short-Term Shaadi", but later changed to "Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu". Going by the promos, the film seems to be targetted towards younger audiences.

Extensively shot in Las Vegas, the entire cast and crew enjoyed working there as the shooting schedule coincided with the festive season of Christmas and New Year celebrations.

Some parts of the film have also been shot in Pataudi, Haryana.

While shooting for the film, Imran also turned a photographer and clicked Kareena. Later, an exhibition was held where all those photographs were put on display.

There were reports that the film's story is similar to that of Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher-starrer "What Happens In Vegas", but the producer denies this contending that the fact that they get married in Vegas is only an aspect of the movie and not the entire movie. The story is different.

The peppy and fun-filled songs of the film composed by Amit Trivedi are already a rage among youngsters and are being frequently played on radio stations.

After the success of Dharma Productions' "Agneepath(2012)", expectations are high from the romantic comedy which is also produced by the same banner.
