Meri Dil Leke Dekkho Movie Reviews

Comedy is not everyone€™s cup-of-tea. They who think it is easy to make people laugh are living in a fool€™s paradise. Shatrughan Sinha lost esteem by producing a non-starter (non-starrer as well) Mera Dil Leke Dekho. Directed by debutant Rohit Kaushik, this one lacks the very sense that makes humour appealing.

After suffering Whacko Jackie in the inspid €˜Bhoot Unkle€™, one is treated to creeps as he tries to tickle the funny bone with Big Ethel Archana Puran Singh. To add to the woes, Jatin€™Lalit€™s swan song music score is not even an iota of their last release €˜Fanaa€™. It€™s been a hectic week with a surfeit of smallies releasing simultaneously and I have to catch another one soon. So, allow me to give you a doze of this tear-jerker-comedy that never makes you laugh.

€˜MDLD€™ revolves around London-bred Punjabi Koel Purie, who dreams of marrying anyone-able-n-eligible. When Puneet Tejwani tries to woo her, she immediately starts dreaming him as her husband with wedding garb and the other paraphernalia. Now, it€™s straight so far, but then it starts taking dig at gays, bi-sexuals and in fact anything to do with sex.

Jackie Shroff is shown to be a skirt-chaser. And whoever thought that making a comedy spiced up by sex-n-sin shall go down well with people must be a moron. All the supposedly cool jokes are not happening at all. Everybody thinks the one-next-door is having an affair with someone. There€™s too much of confusion and it seems the director and the writer must have had trouble fitting in way too many €˜inspirations€™ from Hollywood C-graders.

Koel Purie wastes herself. She was no great talent to start with. Archana Puran Singh hams-n-haws while Jackie Shroff is too-much-in-debt for how else can he explain acting in such a movie as this. I Can€™t give any more credibility to such a senseless experience as this. I guess it€™s time for me to suffer another non-starrer. And I though watching movies was fun. Never mind€¦.
