Vijay Kapoor (Amitabh Bachchan) is an immensely successful,
kind, caring businessman. He's earned his wealth the hard way, and believes there is no
substitute for experience. His world comprises of his adoring family -- wife Pratima
(Rakhee), three daughters Preeti |
|
(Juhi Chawla), Priya (Simone Singh) and Rani (Kanika Kohli) and
son Ajay (Akshay Kumar).
Enter Rajesh Purohit, a business graduate looking for a job. And endowed with the ability
to impress Vijay with his efficiency, and Preeti with his skill at solving crossword
puzzles.

Ajay, who is celebrating his specialisation
in information technology, returns in time for his sister's wedding after, of course,
having fallen head-over-heels in love with Karisma. While Ajay is keen on starting out on
his own, his father believes he should first gather the experience required to run a
business.
The son does not agree with his father's methods. The two clash, with each successive
event serving to further the rift. It reaches the stage where Vijay orders his son to
leave the house
The successful businessman, though, is soon duped by those he
once trusted, and reduced to bankruptcy. The prodigal son returns, father and son |
|
combine forces, and fight to restore the
family honour. |
Amitabh Bachchan is in the host's chair, yet
he is the one who claims the prize... Of all the performances in Suneel's Darshan's Ek
Rishtaa -- The Bond Of Love, it is this consummate actor who walks away with the
accolades.
Even Akshay Kumar, normally dubbed a rather wooden actor, has delivered a reasonably
commendable performance. |

Karisma, as usual, looks lovely
No one can doubt the acting skills of Rakhee, Juhi Chawla or Mohnish Bahl.
Sameer Reddy's cinematography is pleasing.
Darshan himself, it is obvious, has put in a tremendous amount of hard work.
