There's something naughty about 'Neal 'n' Nikki'
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,December 07 2005]
"Nice is out, naughty is in" is the tagline of Yash Raj's latest offering "Neal 'n' Nikki" that hits the screens on Dec 9.
Romance is Yash Raj banner's favorite theme and they are once again riding on it with Uday Chopra and Tanisha Mukerji (Kajol's kid sister) in the lead.
Centred on Generation-Next, the film targets the yuppie crowd and its main attraction is the skimpily dressed Tanisha, who has shed quite a few pounds and is ready to woo the audience with her newfound svelte looks. Also, she has quite a few lip-locking scenes.
Set across the landscape of British Columbia in Canada, "Neal 'n' Nikki" is the story of two Indians, born and bred in Canada.
Neal (Uday Chopra) gives into his parents' wishes of marrying a girl called Sweetie from Bhatinda, but has just one precondition -- he wants to live it up one last time and go to Vancouver on a 21-day bachelor vacation.
On his first day in Vancouver, a supermodel asks him out. But a silly, spunky Indian girl Nikki Bakshi (Tanisha Mukerji) screws up the date.
Whatever Neal does, Nikki tries to undo. Bit by bit, Neal's bachelor vacation starts falling apart. Nikki turns up everywhere to play the spoilsport.
A truce is called between the two when Nikki decides to help Neal. As they explore the Canadian countryside, Neal and Nikki exchange their stories and gradually become 'fun buddies'. A curious chemistry develops.
The bubble bursts when Neal realizes that Nikki has some very definite plans to 'use' him. Does Neal abandon his road trip and return to Vancouver?
This Arjun Sablok directed film has been written by Aditya Chopra. Music plays an important role in Yash Raj films and this flick also has peppy music and foot tapping numbers composed by Salim-Sulaiman.
