Rahul

Ranveer
Shorey
Story
Sid,
that's
Rahul
Bose
meets
Trisha,
a.k.a
Mallika
The
Sherawat,
in
extremely
trying
circumstances.
She's
trying
to
escape
an
undesirable
marriage
(to
stuffed
-
shirt
Jas
Arora).
He's
trying....just
trying.
Being
a
deejay
at
30
is
like
being
a
teenager
at
40.
Or
being
Mallika
Sherawat
and
attractive
and
sexy
without
taking
your
clothes
off.
A
bit
bewildering
but
constantly
engaging
in
its
blizzard
of
bacchanalia
(hats
off
to
dialogue
writer
Victor
Acharya
for
words
that
ring
true
and
still
sound
like
catch
lines
on
the
bumper
sticker
of
sports
car)
PKSE
is
possibly
that
one
romantic
comedy
in
Hindi
which
could
equal
Hollywood's
Harry-meets-Sally
formula
portraying
the
man-sharp-woman-sharper
gender
skirmish.
Upside
Debutant
director
Saket
Chaudhary
sees
the
battles
of
the
sexes
entirely
from
the
male
viewpoint.
Whether
it's
Sid
with
Trisha,
or
Sid's
brother-in-law
(Aamir
Bashir)
struggling
to
keep
his
moody
wife
from
swooping
down
on
him
at
the
smallest
pretext...this
slick
flick
knows
the
grope
-trick
of
keeping
relationships
afloat
in
today's
times
of
stress
and
competitiveness.
Some
of
the
sequences,
designed
to
elicit
laughter,
get
there
bang-on.
It's
been
a
while
since
a
romantic
liaison
got
you
giggling,
and
not
just
because
the
repartees
are
so
sassy
but
because
the
love
pair
in
so
endearing
in
their
state
of
despair.
Check
out
the
fluster
and
bluster
of
Sid's
first
love-making
sequence
when
she
leaves
him
in
a
state
of
cute
coitus
interruptus...or
that
hilarious
narration
by
Sid's
brother-in-law
where
the
poor
guy
tells
Sid
about
his
spousal
fight
the
night
before.
Sid's
encounter
with
his
fiancee's
tyrannical
father
(Sharat
Saxena)
may
outwardly
remind
you
of
Meet
The
Parents.
But
seen
within
the
larger
picture
Saket
Choudhary
has
scripted
an
urban
legend
that
is
slave
to
no
ready
reference
point.
Finally
the
effectuality
of
the
romantic
comedy
depends
on
the
chemistry
between
the
lead
pair.
The
tried-and-tested
Rahul
Bose
re-invents
his
considerable
comic
talents
to
play
a
man
more
cornered
than
conned
by
love.
Sid
would
rather
watch
a
cricket
match
than
discuss
love
with
his
girlfriend.
But
shhhhh!
Rahul
Bose
is
delectably
in
tune
with
his
character's
befuddlement,
often
capturing
the
game-show
spirit
of
the
man-woman
battle
with
an
intuitive
insouciance.
Mallika
is
a
delightful
surprise.
Fully
clothed
(thank
GOD!)
she's
a
temptress
and
a
virgin,
a
tease
and
an
ingenue
all
at
once.
Where
was
this
side
of
the
voluptuous
actress
hidden
so
far?
The
supporting
cast
specially
Ranveer
Shorey
as
the
underwear-challenged
slob
adds
considerably
to
the
fluid
charm
of
the
central
romance.
Manoj
Soni's
camera
lets
the
lovers
be
on
Omang
Kumar's
ritzy
but
credible
sets.
Editor
Hemal
Kothari
cuts
into
the
guffaws
with
a
tongue-in-cheek
flourish.
Jha's
judgment
Once
in
while,
a
film
makes
you
smile.
Not
because
of
what
it
strives
to
be.
But
for
it
sheer
sassiness
and
temerity.
