Shrek
[and
its
instalments]
has
been
one
of
the
most
loved
movies
of
our
times.
An
ogre
falls
in
love
with
a
princess
and
after
overcoming
their
share
of
obstacles,
the
couple
live
happily
ever
after.
Most
Hindi
movies
take
a
similar
route,
don't
they?
We
love
happy
endings.
We
want
the
underdog
to
accomplish
his
dreams.
We
feel
euphoric
if
he
walks
into
the
sunset,
holding
the
hand
of
his
beloved.
A
love
story
works
if
you
fall
in
love
with
the
on-screen
characters
and
also
if
it
knocks
on
the
doors
of
your
heart.
Pyaar
Impossible
does
that.
Pyaar
Impossible
may
not
be
the
ultimate
romantic
film,
but
you
can't
deny
the
fact
that
there's
something
about
this
film
that
stays
with
you,
that
you
carry
home...
sorry,
carry
in
your
heart.
Pyaar
Impossible
also
works
because
its
protagonists,
Uday
and
Priyanka,
deliver
sparkling
performances.
No
wonder,
you
get
drawn
in
their
world
in
a
jiffy.
Final
word?
Watch
Pyaar
Impossible
if
you
are
or
even
if
you're
not
a
romantic.
It
has
its
heart
in
the
right
place!
In
a
university
in
California,
Alisha
[Priyanka
Chopra]
is
the
name
of
that
dream
everyone
wished
came
true.
The
most
beautiful
girl
on
campus,
she
makes
hearts
flutter
like
leaves
in
the
wind.
Everybody
loves
Alisha.
It
is
no
surprise
then
that
Abhay
[Uday
Chopra]
loves
her
too.
Abhay
is
a
nerdy,
awkward,
bespectacled
geek
of
the
college
who
is
so
far
removed
from
her
world.
She
doesn't
even
know
that
people
like
him
actually
exist.
One
day
Abhay
musters
up
enough
courage
to
go
and
express
his
true
feelings
to
her
and
realizes
that
it
is
never
gonna
happen.
He
comes
to
terms
with
the
fact
that
Alisha
is
a
Princess
and
he
is
just
a
Geek.
That
is
when
their
ways
eventually
part.
Later,
their
paths
cross
again,
as
Abhay
is
busy
trying
to
launch
his
career.
Fate
again
brings
him
face
to
face
with
the
woman
of
his
dreams,
Alisha.
Will
Abhay
have
the
strength
to
believe
in
himself
and
attempt
to
achieve
what
he
never
thought
possible?
You
may
draw
parallels
with
Chris
Columbus'
I
Love
You,
Beth
Cooper
[2009],
but
the
fact
is
that
Uday
Chopra's
story
in
Pyaar
Impossible
[yes,
he
has
penned
the
story,
screenplay
and
dialogue]
could
be
anybody's
story.
This
is
not
about
a
nerd
who
wants
his
program
back
from
a
suave
hacker.
It's
about
a
simpleton,
his
feelings,
the
complications
in
his
life
and
the
final
triumph.
Haven't
we
seen
so
many
jodis
in
real
life,
who
may
not
pair
off
well,
but
look
compatible?
Let's
not
forget,
opposites
attract!
You
may
also
draw
parallels
with
Aditya
Chopra's
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi,
but
writer
Uday
Chopra
and
director
Jugal
Hansraj
steer
clear
of
anything
that
could
be
similar
to
Adi's
film.
The
[sole]
similarity
starts
and
ends
with
a
simpleton
falling
in
love
with
an
attractive
girl.
Uday's
screenplay
remains
faithful
to
the
main
plot,
not
deviating
one
bit.
At
the
same
time,
it
could've
been
tighter
in
the
post-interval
portions.
There
were
ample
occasions
when
Uday
could've
opened
his
heart,
his
motive
of
arriving
in
Singapore,
that
he's
not
a
nanny,
that
he
had
been
cheated
by
Dino.
But
he
doesn't!
Thankfully,
the
writing
is
back
on
track
towards
its
climax.
Right
from
the
kiddie
song,
to
Priyanka
realising
that
she
loves
Uday,
to
the
press
conference
when
Uday
stands
vindicated
and
Dino
exposed,
the
penultimate
moments
are
the
mainstay
of
the
enterprise.
Jugal
Hansraj
has
the
trappings
of
a
competent
director.
He
has
handled
several
sensitive
moments
with
dexterity.
Salim-Sulaiman's
musical
score
is
pleasant,
but
it
can
do
with
that
extra
push
[promotion]
from
the
music
division.
Santosh
Thundiyil's
cinematography
is
top
notch.
Dialogue
[also
penned
by
Uday]
are
straight
out
of
life.
Pyaar
Impossible
works
largely
due
to
the
efficient
performances
by
its
principal
actors
-
Uday
Chopra
and
Priyanka
Chopra.
Both
deliver
sparkling
performances.
Priyanka
has
evolved
into
a
fantastic
actor
and
this
film
proves
it
yet
again.
Five
minutes
into
the
film
and
you
realise
that
you
are
not
watching
Priyanka,
but
Alisha
Merchant.
That's
what
this
fine
actor
does
to
you.
Uday
gets
it
right
as
Abhay.
Sure,
the
actor
has
been
a
part
of
several
films
in
the
past,
but
this
one
awakens
you
to
this
sincere
performer,
who,
unfortunately,
has
never
got
his
due.
He
plays
the
role
of
a
Geek
with
astute
understanding
and
it's
thanks
to
his
super
portrayal
that
you
feel
for
this
character.
This
should
be
the
turning
point
in
his
career.
Dino
Morea
springs
a
surprise
and
carries
off
his
part
very
well.
Anupam
Kher
is
perfect
in
a
brief
role.
Advika
Yadav,
the
kid
playing
Priyanka's
daughter,
is
adorable.
And
a
terrific
actor
too!
On
the
whole,
Pyaar
Impossible
is
a
feel-good
film.
If
you
are
a
romantic,
this
one's
for
you.
Even
if
you're
not,
still
watch
it.
Its
one
of
those
films
that
will
bring
a
smile
on
your
face
-
something
that
most
Hindi
films
don't
do
these
days!
