Pyaar Impossible - Movie Review

Silpa Parivaar went to watch Pyaar Impossible. We reached a little late, and we missed two important things:

1. Pre-Movie urination ritual
2. Buying pop-corn and coke

We also missed something which was not so important
3. First 15 minutes of the movie

However, missing on pop-corn and coke was not to be. The movie gave enough chances to walk out and buy food. I walked out after 30 minutes, and came back after another half an hour with a tray of food, including a nice and juicy chicken burger. Fortunately, it said ‘Intermission’, as I walked in again.

The romantic-“comedy”(pun intended) is about Alisha (Priyanka Chopra) who is a single mother with a 6 year old daughter. They live in Singapore. Even though she’s the marketing head in a software company, she does not make enough money. This is evident from that the fact that she and her daughter wear each others’ clothes, specially shorts, all the time.

Then there is one of my favourite actors, Uday Chopra. However, this time around he does not live up to expectations and keeps his clothes on throughout the movie. UC's bulging biceps are so in your face that it creates a 3D effect, and you feel a little less bad about not getting Avatar tickets. Anyways, it seemed the entire costumes budget has been allocated for UC, and PC is left out in the cold, ‘like that’ only. Then there was this scene when she was wearing a torn t-shirt. My friend tells me that it’s an off-shoulder thing. Huh, like you would believe that!!

The movie also is about a software which integrates all computer and mobile operating systems. The software is designed by UC, the geek. The bad dude steals the software, but in the end the good geek wins because the bad guy does not know the password. He gets screwed in front of millions who are watching the software company’s software launch coverage. This is when the geek walks in. 3(arguably 4) out of 6 members of Silpa Parivar gave a standing ovation when the geek walks the slow-walk with shutterbugs clicking away. Bur we had to sit when people behind us started using 'unparliamentary' language. So in the end, the geek is seen romancing the pretty girl, while the CEO screams to save his pants in front of the whole world - ‘Arey koi mujhe password bataao’. Go watch the movie to know the password.

Jugal Hansraj has directed the movie. He makes a wise decision by trying an alternate profession here. He’ll soon have to try out another new profession.

I went to the movie with a headache and fever, and came out with only a fever. And for that I give the movie 4 and a half stars out of 5. (half star is for the chicken burger). I would have given more, but I was playing Bricksbreaker during only-most-of-the-movie. My highest score was 9960.
