First Look Aap Ki Khatir

  • IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,July 29 2006]

The first look at the promos of Dharmesh Darshan’s ‘Aap Ki Khatir’ reveals the familiar love-bonding between his lead pair of Akshay Khanna and Priyanka Chopra. It’s a chiffon-saree-meets-salubrious-locations picture of longing. Something that has been oft seen-n-heard before. Himesh Reshamiya’s song sounds as if you’ve heard it all so many times before. It’s all a matter of demand and supply brother Reshamiya.

You are a bit too-much-all-over-the-place and losing musical ground fast. If you can do a brilliant ‘Ahista Ahista’ then you are safe. But rehashing ‘Jhalak Dikhlaja’ and ‘Jhoom Jhoom’ won’t take you much further.

As for Dharmesh Darshan, then this hot shot director has made one of the biggest blockbusters of all times in ‘Raja Hindusthani’. He churned out the biggest loser as well with ‘Mela’. Somewhere he should realize that Indian Cinema has evolved in the last few years. The brand of romance and high drama that he champions is not finding favours with the audience any more. If the promo of ‘Aap Ki Khatir’ is anything to go by then it will join the ranks of heard-n-seen before cinema. Akshay Khanna is definitely a good choice and hopefully Darshan must have made good use of him.

Dharmesh Darshan’s personal life has been festered with troubles off late. First his three month marriage ended in an acrimonious divorce. Later he was accused by a young crew member of ‘Aap ki Khatir’ of sexual misconduct by Darshan in a London hotel room. And this crew member happened to be a boy with small time filmi background. It remains to be seen if the personal setbacks affect Dharmesh as a filmmaker. The verdict will be out once ‘Aap Ki Khatir’ is released some time soon.
