Dorathen Better Late Then Never

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Gypsi Bates Aditya (Akshay Kumar), who is engaged to Sonia (Bipasha Basu), travels to Canada for his job. While there, he makes the acquaintance of Jia (Katrina Kaif); they first become friends, then fall in love. However, Jia is also engaged, to powerful and possessive industrialist, Karan (Anil Kapoor). When a misunderstanding comes between Jia and Aditya, they both return to India to plan their separate weddings, while still in love with each other.The plot is mostly predictable, but still generally enjoyable. The music ranges from okay to good, but choreography is well below average; this is a shame as Kaif is an excellent dancer but had no chance to shine. Kumar and Kaif had good chemistry together, and she wasn't as stiff as she has been in other movies. Kapoor was simply perfect for his role. The ending, to me, was rushed and somewhat weak. All together, the movie was a nice time-pass, but not spectacular.

Raj Khan i just watched it now i never loved a movie that much only Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna is The only Movie i Love more than Humko Deewana Kar Gaye but Still Humko Deewana Kar Gaye so wonderful the story not far from Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna anyway The Love must when no matter what thats my opinion besides i don't agree with those kids who don't like Humko Deewana Kar Gaye or Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and No Wonder because you cant like those movies unless you are mature enough and understand the true meaning of love and also have to not be soo chaotic about what u believe just have to feel the love because love is the greatest faith in this life you don't agree with that who cares you will die alone!

Neo_2006 "I think so (sic) it's destiny," groans our hero caught in a love jam that throttles him from both ends. Indeed, we think so too.Akshay Kumar's films are becoming classier by the month. There's a certain restrain in his presence here. The way he conveys the pain and hurt of an impossible love, is quite surprising for an actor who until recently was counted among the wooden.Director Raj Kanwar's recent efforts to polish up his act have yielded tepid results. Dhai Akshar Prem Ke and the box office hit Andaz were louder than the lyrical aspirations of their creator.Kanwar gets it more right this time. The theme of 'love versus obligation' is nothing new to our cinema. Then redemptive hope lies in the treatment. And we aren't let down completely in the way the jukebox- symphony moves forward.There's a certain elegance in the movement of the mix 'n' match love story. Aditya (Akshay) and Jiya (Katrina) engaged to marry the wrong life partners must move towards that inevitable mutual embrace at the end when the scrambled game of musical chairs finally ends.In between there are several musical pieces choreographed with an eye-catching élan. One of them filmed in a commodious banquet even has yesteryears' cabaret queen Helen breaking into a sassy jig.Such moments are well-knitted into the tale of star-crossed love.Though the film suffers for Raj Kanwar's trademark humbug (superfluous loud Punjabi characters grooving garishly to Bhangra-pop beats, crude gay jokes between Akshay and Mohan Joshi, co-incidences peeking out of an otherwise-smooth narrative ) there's a touch of self-conscious suaveness in the storytelling that goes a long way in keeping the central romance from collapsing under the weight of self-importance.The initial encounters between Aditya and Jia are deftly visualized. Vikas Shivraman's camera frames the good-looking pair with arresting valentinian vibrancy.The dialogues, you feel, could've gone easy on the rhetorics. Often-times you feel the lovers, fighting off their respective engagements to court true love, are reading their lines out of an invisible prompter.But Akshay Kumar-Katrina look terrific together. Akshay's controlled performance spotlights the character's virtuosity in the midst of luscious temptation.Watch him in that almost wordless moment when his screen-friend Vivek Shouq (in a hideous blow-dyed hairstyle) confesses he was behind the lovers' break-up…Akshay gives a clenched interpretation to a role that doesn't allow him to 'do' much on screen.Katrina is passably competent in a tailor-made role, giving a mild emotional spin to a couple of scenes. But her inadequacies surface when pitched against Shernaz Patel (in a deplorably minuscule part) or even against Bipasha Basu who, in the brief role of Akshay's ambitious fiancée, brings a fleeting finesse to her under-written part.But pray, what's Anil Kapoor doing playing Katrina's arrogant self-important fiancé? From the start you know this couple is doomed.Don't look for surprises in this smooth-and-shiny romance. …Or originality. Bits and pieces from various Hindi and Hollywood creations surface intermittently.But the queasy limit is the climax where Katrina is stuck upside down in a hit-and-run car. The whole sequence is lifted from this year's Oscar winner Crash..That's some quick thinking.

shaiky9 This film was good but did not live up to ones expectation.I personally think what Akshay Kumar is trying to do at the moment is take every chance that is there as he want to get on top of Bollywood and as far there is no sign of either Salman and Shahrukh so he obviously has no competition. The audience are not use to Akshay playing these type of roles and would like to see him in a action film or even in a comic role. But the people have to understand that he is just taking any offer that comes to him as he wants to be on top of Bollywood before any sign of competition arrives.I personally think many people will not like this film because they are not use to Akshay in a love film. All the songs are very nice and especially Rock Star, For Your Eyes Only and Title Song.One thing I did not get is why is Anil Kapoor in this film? If it was necessary to take Salman out they should have left the film as just a love triangle. I personally think this changed the whole shape of the film and due to the fact that Salman was no longer on this film some scenes have been cut from the film which makes the film less understandable.Overall the film was very good and I liked it.
