Mohabbatein

As the name suggests it is all about romance. The Yash-Raj banner has again come out with a love story which is as unrealistic as its earlier movies. Aditya Chopra’s debut Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge has much more to its credit than this. 

The story is about confrontation between two interesting personalities, one is for change and the other one against all kinds of change. Narayan Shankar(Amitabh Bachchan) is the principle of the Gurukul, the premier institution which is standing on the pillars of tradition and discipline. It is an institution which is opaque to life outside it. Raj Aryan Malhotra (Shah-

Rukh-Khan), erstwhile lover of Megha (Aishwarya Rai) an unfortunate daughter of a very rigid father, Narayan Shankar. She finds her life incomplete without her love and also with out her father. Being unable to compromise she commits suicide. Raj Aryan, is victim of such rigidities of the institution. He takes it as a challenge and confronts Narayan Shankar in his own institution.

The movie starts with three young boys entering the Gurukul and getting adjusted with the rules and regulations there. They get attracted by the young beauties, studying in women’s college. As it is much against the tradition established by the Gurukul, they start suppressing their feelings and emotions. Raj Aryan, enters the Gurukul as a music teacher and helps all the three boys to reach out and get what

they want. Narayan Shankar openly objects to this and demands his resignation. Raj Aryan, refuses to resign, till the end of the term and he expresses his commitment to change the institution by the end of the contract. Finally Raj Aryan succeeds in his effort to open the doors and all the windows of the institution and bring in fresh air from all sides. The movie spreads the

message of love in a very unrealistic way. It is nothing but 4 hours of bore especially for those audience who have slight respect for their intellect. There are many unrealistic scenes. From the beginning in the Gurukul, only Musicteacher and the principle are shown. Aiswarya Rai is very funnily depicted as ‘Devta of Love’ and Raj Aryan, a messiah of love. These are just to mention a few.

Yash Raj banner has maintained its tradition of making movies on the long established value of love in a fairy-tale manner.  The movie shot in exotic locations of UK and Switzerland has picture perfect scenes.  Music scored by Jatin-Lalit is also ordinary. Except the title number none of the other songs are hummable. The only appreciable part of the movie, is its script and the cast. Script is well-written. Amitabh has got a role which fits his age and

stature. Shah-Rukh is at his best. Enough justice is not done to Aishwarya and her bewitching beauty. The others in the cast have performed well. If only the director had any respect for the patience of the audience and cut the length of the movie, we could still tolerate it. Those interested in testing their levels of tolerance can still go for this.
