Pyaar Impossible Review

What is it all about?

`Pyaar Impossible' is a fairy tale freshly retold. The movie is pleasant start to YRF innings this year. Scoring on the right choice of characters the movie manages to engage the viewers in emotions with an unabashed sincerity that manages to avoid the pitfalls of triteness.

Agreed the theme of a geek falling for a top hottie has been told from ages but Jugal Hansraj narrates it with freshness and exuberance which makes you watch the Geek Abhay's (Uday) in fluctuations without minding Priyanka's too hot to handle costumes.

`Pyaar Impossible' starts with a geek falling for a hottie thingie and later makes an attempt to squeeze the audience by a growing appreciation of inner beauty and sensitivity philosophy which lifts the movie from regulars.

Funny and charming situations especially in the second half, witty dialogues and well orchestrated music (the title number being the pick of the lot) are smoothly integrated into the plot making the movie a decent watch.

The Story ..Of course

In Ankert University, California, Alisha (Priyanka Chopra) is the name that every boy dreams. It is no surprise then that Abhay (Uday Chopra) loves her too. Uday is a software wizard but before computers he always thinks of Alisha.

Abhay is a nerdy, awkward, socially challenged, bespectacled geek of the college who is so far removed from her world that she doesn't even know that people like him actually exist.

Abhay and Alisha don't meet and after seven years, Abhay who is still thinking of her meets her in Singapore and finds that she is divorcee with a cute small monster to take care of.

Abhay whose visit to Singapore was to catch a thief Sidhu/Varun(Dino Morea) who has ran stealing his software which Alisha's company is about to buy from him lands up as a nanny at Alisha's house washing utensils and serving Thai food at dinner.

The looser Abhay then first wins the heart of Alisha's daughter and musters courage to go and express his true feelings to her before exposing Varun.

What to Look Out For?

This well shot glossy love story has some uplifting moments. Priyanka in a geek avatar trying to gain attentions from passer-by's and the moments between the little bundle of talent and Abhay are fantastic.

The school drama sequence where Priyanka recollects her college days and comes to know about Abhay and her love is another major highlight.

Uday does a sincere job and this should be his best till date.

While Priyanka is drop dead gorgeous and spontaneous in a role that is tailor made for her, Anupam Kher (who plays Abhay's Father) land valuable support and the little bundle of talent Saidah is outstanding.

Jugal does a commendable job in representing this love story from the usual Barbie Doll ones and makes sure that its touching, reflecting YRF's trend of entertainment that's meant to be seen by all members of the family.

The above qualities makes `Pyaar Impossible' score 3 out of 5.

What Not?

It has its moments but more detailing could have done wonders. For example some more sequences and scenes that strongly establish the obsession of Abhay could have been done. Abhay's geek ness is somewhat taken for granted and more attention is paid to make Priyanka look more and more glamorous on the contrary, it should have been vice versa.

Recommended: Yes, if you search for some cuddling charming moments then `Pyaar Impossible' is your ticket.
