Kitne Door Kitne Paas is a love story of an
Indian boy Jatin (Fardeen Khan) and an Indian girl Karishma (Amrita Arora), both settled
in the USA. Jatin runs a successful business there and is all set to get married |
|
to Jaya (Sonali Kulkarni) who he has not
seen earlier. Karishma too is on her way to tie the wedlock with Nimesh (Ayub Khan) who
again is chosen by her parents. Just before leaving for India, they meet each other in a
shopping mall and it was not love at first sight for them, rather something very contrary.
They happen to be in the same flight and after reaching Delhi, realise that their flight
to Gujarat, their hometown has been cancelled. They hire a taxi, board a bus and then a
hay cart before they reach their |
|
destination, and finally end up liking each
other before they part. Being highly tradition bound, they hide their feelings from their
parents and to Karishma's dismay , she finds her best friend Jaya getting married to |
the man of her dreams. Karishma's father
does ask her to break her engagement and get married to Jatin but she refuses to do so. It
is only in the marriage 'pandal' where the couples are getting married directly opposite
to each other that a situation makes their dream come true, unnaturally though....
The film is loosely inspired by the
Ben Affleck-Sandra Bullock flick |

|
FORCES OF NATURE. Mehul Kumar does make a serious effort to bring
in something new and different in the world of movies based on love stories and he does
succeed but only to an extent. A couple of dramatic sequences are handled well by him.
Cinematography by Mazhar Kamran is excellent especially |
|
the scenes at Brisbane and Gold Coast.
Dialogues by Imtiyaz Patel and Yunus Sajawal are commendable. Sanjeev Darshan's music has
picked up much before the release of the movie. The four hit numbers are 'Humko Mohabbat
Dhund Rahi Thhee', 'Deewana Dil Hain Mera' and 'Yaar Main India Chala'.
Performance- wise both Amrita and Fardeen need to work hard on their acting skills. Amrita
does look and dances well but bad at |
|
expressions and
dialogue delivery. Similarly Fardeen, though he has a good screen presence , fails badly
at expressions. Nasir Khan as Fardeen's friend is competent. Satish Shah, ketaki Dave and
Tiku Talsania do well in their comedy roles. Other supporting actors are OK.
On the whole, Kitne Door Kitne Paas will certainly entertain youths of today and is a
decent timepass. |
