I'd
like
to
pose
a
few
questions
to
those
associated
with
Mere
Khwabon
Mein
Jo
Aaye...
The
first
question
is
to
writer-director
Madhureeta
Anand.
What
were
you
thinking
when
you
wrote
this
script?
And,
most
importantly,
did
you
ever
realize
what
you
were
making,
while
filming
it?
The
second
question
is
to
the
three
actors,
Randeep
Hooda,
Raima
Sen
and
Arbaaz
Khan.
Did
you
take
a
script
narration?
If
you
did
take
one,
did
you
comprehend
it?
The
third
question
is
to
producers
Ajay
Bijli
and
Sanjeev
K.
Bijli.
What
prompted
you
to
back
this
project?
Did
you
go
through
the
script?
Watching
Mere
Khwabon
Mein
Jo
Aaye
is
akin
to
flying
in
an
aircraft
without
a
pilot.
Seriously,
what
kind
of
cinema
is
this?
Mere
Khwabon
Mein
Jo
Aaye
is
a
terrible
waste
of
time,
money,
efforts
and
precious
raw
stock.
Maya
[Raima
Sen]
lives
in
New
Delhi,
is
married
to
Vikram
[Arbaaz
Khan]
and
has
a
daughter
Priya
[Eka
Kumari
Singh].
Maya's
life
is
mundane
and
centres
around
her
family.
One
evening,
she
overhears
a
conversation
between
her
husband
and
another
woman
and
realises
that
he's
having
an
affair.
Her
simple,
family-centric
life
around
her
breaks
down
and
she
realises
how
Vikram
had
slowly
degenerated
her
confidence
and
self-esteem
in
the
past
few
years
of
their
marriage.
He
stopped
her
from
singing
and
abandoned
all
her
dreams.
During
a
conversation
with
her
neighbour
Mrs.
Mathur
[Suhasini
Mulay],
who
is
looking
for
an
ideal
tenant,
she
conjures
up
her
fantasy
man,
Jai
[Randeep
Hooda].
Through
Jai,
who
keeps
reoccurring
in
her
dreams
in
different
avtaars,
she
regains
her
confidence.
He
inspires
her
to
pursue
her
ultimate
dream
of
singing.
With
the
help
of
her
neighbours,
a
young
band
[Neil
Bhoopalam,
Juhi
Pandey],
she
embarks
on
realising
her
dreams.
The
multiplex
culture
has
given
birth
to
all
kinds
of
cinema
--
good,
bad,
rubbish,
boring.
Mere
Khwabon
Mein
Jo
Aaye
is
all
this
and
more
--
it's
senseless.
It
makes
you
wonder
whether
you're
actually
watching
a
film
or
you're
in
deep
slumber,
dreaming
of
being
in
a
plex,
watching
a
bizarre
film.
If
the
story
is
weird,
the
screenplay
is
outlandish.
Why
does
the
couple
[Arbaaz,
Raima]
drift
apart?
Raima
has
been
a
loving
wife,
a
doting
mother,
who
has
never
shied
away
from
her
responsibilities.
Yet,
the
husband
is
always
complaining.
Worse,
Raima's
fantasy
[Randeep
in
various
avtaars]
only
makes
you
rub
your
eyes
in
disbelief.
Actually,
you
went
through
similar
emotions
[upset,
angry,
disgusted]
while
watching
Anurag
Kashyap's
nonsensical
No
Smoking.
Lalit
Sen's
music
is
listless.
Viraj
Sinh's
cinematography
is
just
okay.
Raima
is
a
talented
actor,
but
she
should
channelize
her
energies
on
better
scripts
and
roles.
Randeep
is
unintentionally
funny.
Arbaaz
is
wasted.
Amongst
supporting
actors,
only
Neil
Bhoopalam
stands
out.
Ashwini
Kalsekar,
Anjan
Srivastava
and
Suhasini
Mulay
are
wasted.
On
the
whole,
this
khwaab
is
more
of
a
nightmare.
