Everyone seems to be talking about the showdown between the former
models Aishwarya Rai and Bipasha Basu. Of course it did take quite a bit of courage from
Aishwaryas end to release her home production on the same day since the competition
was using the "sex sells" route. But at the end of the day, it was a battle of
scriptwriters. Jism had Mahesh Bhatt and Dil Ka Rishta
had Ashs mom Brinda Rai. The outcome was as expected. A failure
that would make Hitlers Germany look good.

The story revolves around Jai (Arjun Rampal) a
handsome businessman from South Africa. He and his friend (played by Isha |
Koppikar) come to India as part of a fund raising
plan and that is where he meets Tia (Aishwarya Rai). Jai is immediately
infatuated by her and tries all he can to get through to her but all in vain because her
heart belongs to someone else. To this person she gets married and eventually the couple
has a baby but an accident means that Tia is now a widower and that to thanks to
Jais carelessness. Jai takes the responsibility of taking care of her and it turns
out that Tia is suffering from amnesia. Jai and his dad cook up a story about how Jai and
Tia were the best of friends and that the child she bears is actually Jais so it is
her responsibility to see that the baby is taken care of Jai, Tia and her mom leave for
South Africa. Slowly, Tia finally grows to like and love Jai but the guilt within him
keeps him away from her. When she asks him |

to marry her he refuses and in a fit of sadness she
leaves and that is when he must face the truth about the past. Oddly, Tia takes this well
and decides to marry him anyway!
As mentioned earlier, the script is flawed. For a home production and
considering that the Rais were putting their blood and sweat into this project, one
would have thought that they would have paid a proper scriptwriter and not Mrs.Rai. The
director Naresh Malhotra has tried to salvage the movie but it
doesnt matter because the end result is the same- a big mess. Arjun Rampal is still
not a flawless |

actor
but the improvement is definitely there and if this was another movie, then he might have
done a better job. As for Aishwarya, it looks like this is as far as she can go in the
field of acting and she will always be sought after for her looks and star value rather
than talent. Nadeem-Shravan''s music is average. So the big question - Is
this movie worth the money? That would be a definite no and the chances are that this
flick will be out of the theatres by next Friday!
