Perfect Mismatch - Review
Meet the Fockers. Oops... Meet Mr. Patel and Mr. Bhalla. They have a problem with each other. One is a Gujarati, the other is a Punjabi. Agreed, there are people who don't believe in marrying outside their community, but stories like these are passe. They no longer make for interesting experiences on celluloid.
Perfect Mismatch, honestly, is a complete mismatch. The story is just not convincing and what makes matters worse is the fact that the lovers don't do a thing to bring the two warring papas together. Frankly, this one's an amateurish attempt. Final word? Imperfect!

Perfect
Mismatch
Aman
[Anubhav
Anand],
an
architect,
bumps
into
Neha
[Nandana
Sen].
Love
blossoms.
But
sparks
fly
when
their
families
meet.
The
differences
between
hyper-vibrant
Mr.
Bhalla
[Anupam
Kher]
and
the
rigidly-conventional
Mr.
Patel
[Boman
Irani]
are
apparent
in
their
very
first
meeting.
Disapproval
inevitably
comes
when
the
two
fathers
lock
horns,
but
the
lovebirds,
true
to
their
feelings,
must
find
a
way
to
bring
their
families
together...
Baring
a
few
individualistic
sequences,
nothing
works
in
Perfect
Mismatch.
The
differences
between
the
two
fathers
are
too
trivial
and
flimsy.
The
lovers
realise
that
their
respective
fathers
don't
see
eye
to
eye,
but
they
don't
do
a
thing
to
iron
out
their
differences.
Most importantly, most lovers of today wouldn't sob, sulk and go into a shell if their parents were against their match. They would defy all odds to get together, right? In this case, they reconcile to their fate and remain passive spectators all through. Ajmal Zaheer Ahmad's direction is bad and so is the writing. The cinematography is just about okay.
Anupam Kher is the sole actor who has a well-defined role. Boman Irani gets limited scope. Also, his change of heart could've been more convincing. Anubhav Anand sparkles in a scene or two, while Nandana Sen is passable. On the whole, Perfect Mismatch has no scope.
