Story

The duo happens to bump into each other on the Christmas Eve and eventually get high on drinks. But hell breaks loose for society conscious Rahul, when he discovers himself married to Raina the next morning. On the contrary, free-spirited Raina is super-chilled about the situation, which surprises Rahul, but later he falls for this very quality of Raina. Instead of feeling awkward, they decide to become good friends and end their marriage with divorce. Meanwhile, Raina introduces Rahul to her family and every quality of Raina makes Rahul fall deeply in love with Raina. Now, how Raina reacts to all these, will Raina and Rahul untie with each other is to be seen on silver screen.
Analysis :
The climax of the film justifies the entire narration and why the characters react in a certain way thus, initial verdict, a cocktail of many films falls flat. The director could have taken the liberty of adding new elements to the film, which would have made it a flawless venture. The director makes it up for the missing chemistry between Imran-Kareena as he showcases one-sided love. A wonderful moment is created when real-life sweethearts Imran-Avantika do a cameo in the song 'Auntyji'. In some instances, the movie would more or less appear similar to that of ‘Jab We Met’, ‘Anjana Anjani’ or so. But, the director has managed to give his treatment for the film and appear it to be interesting for the audience to watch.
Performance :
Kareena surpasses the expectations by her performance, which is par excellence. Though, she dominates most of the times as a chirpy and lively character, which is her forte; Imran too doesn’t withhold as he beautifully switches lanes from being timid to being assertive. Boman Imrani as Imran’s father fits in the bill perfectly, but at times is boring with his patent expressions. Ditto goes for Imran’s mother, Ratna Pathak who brings the memories of Sarabhai V/s Sarabhai on big screen. Ram Kapoor in small, but pivotal role pulls it off nicely. Apart from the performance of the star cast, Music speaks volumes and goes with the flow of the story but can’t make it to chartbusters list, besides the title song. Cinematography is ‘A’ class. Dialogues are too casual that leaves them slightly punch-less at certain occasions. Editing is the saviour as it keeps the film short and crisp.
Final Word ‘Ek Mein Aur Ek Thu’ – A perfect film for this season of Love!
