Love
stories
can
never
go
out
of
fashion,
at
least
in
Bollywood.
Khushboo,
directed
by
Rajesh
Ram
Singh,
tells
the
story
of
a
Sikh
girl
and
a
Tamil
boy,
the
ups
and
downs
in
their
relationship,
but
before
you
draw
parallels
with
the
classic
Ek
Duuje
Ke
Liye,
let's
clarify
that
the
two
movies
are
as
diverse
as
chalk
and
cheese.
In
terms
of
content
as
also
execution.
If
at
all
Khushboo
bears
any
uncanny
resemblance,
it's
with
Jab
We
Met
and
also,
to
an
extent,
A
Walk
In
The
Clouds
[which
has
been
rehashed
by
several
dream
merchants
in
Bollywood].
The
aces
in
Khushboo
include
some
stunning
locales
of
North
India
and
Adnan
Sami's
melodious
musical
score.
But
the
problem
with
Khushboo
is
that
it
falls
prey
to
an
uninspiring
script.
Ambitious
Raghu
[Rishi
Rehan]
needs
to
go
to
Chandigarh
before
his
posting
to
New
York.
For
Raghu,
career
takes
top
priority
in
his
life.
In
Chandigarh,
he
seems
to
be
destined
to
cross
path
with
a
girl,
to
whom
he
is
inadvertently
drawn.
But
each
time
Pinky
[Avantikka]
flits
away,
even
before
he
can
approach
her.
When
they
do
meet
and
get
to
know
each
other,
they
realize
that
they
share
a
very
strong
bonding.
And
as
usual
Pinky
once
again
vanishes
from
Raghu's
life.
