'Aiyyaa!...
ishhh!...
aga
bai!'
She's
finally
back
to
take
us
for
a
'WAKDA'
ride.
Yeh,
we're
talking
about
our
funny,
quirky
Marathi
mulgi
Meenakshi
Deshpande
aka
Rani
Mukherjee
and
her
latest
madcap
comedy
movie
Aiyyaa.
After
ruling
the
roost
for
decades
now,
Rani
goes
'hatke'
this
time
with
bulbs
flashing
all
around
her
in
Aiyyaa.
Story:
Meenakshi
(Rani
Mukherji)
plays
a
melodramatic
young
lady
in
Aiyyaa,
who
is
a
complete
movie
buff
and
often
slips
into
the
land
of
her
dreams.
Her
parents
gets
her
engaged
to
Madhav
(Subodh
Bhave),
but
that
doesn't
stop
Meenakshi
from
swooning
over
tall,
dark,
handsome
men.
Her
dream
comes
true
and
finally
she
bumps
into
Surya
(Prithviraj
Sukumaran),
a
good
looking
painter.
Love
happens
instantly
and
Meenakshi
falls
head
over
heels
for
the
tall,
dark,
handsome
Surya.
Then
comes
a
tough
time
for
Meenakshi.
Her
dreams
comes
crashing
down.
She
gets
sandwiched
between
two
men,
one
with
whom
she's
gonna
get
married,
the
other,
whom
she's
attracted
to.
What's
So
Good
About
The
Film?
Aiyyaa
is
humorous
and
interesting.
It's
a
treat
to
all
the
Rani
Mukherjee
fans
out
there
as
it
promises
out
and
out
'Entertainment,
'Entertainment'
and
'Entertainment'.
The
best
thing
about
Aiyyaa
is
that
it
balances
well
on
both
the
aspects
of
comedy
and
sensitivity.
Kudos
to
director
Sachin
Kundalkar
and
his
ability
to
stumble
upon
humour
in
the
most
ordinary
situations.
Performances:
Rani
Mukherjee
shines
in
her
wakda
role
of
a
Marathi
girl.
She
does
a
fantastic
job
in
Aiyyaa
with
her
loud
gags
and
oodles
of
hamming.
Malayalam
actor
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
is
convincing
as
a
Tamil
hunk.
The
best
part
is
that
he
doesn't
hesitate
even
a
bit
with
his
Hindi
dialogues.
He
looks
dashing
and
confident
throughout
the
movie.
Hatke
Music:
Aiyyaa
treats
us
with
some
bizarre
yet
entertaining
tracks.
One
of
those
"Dreamum
wakeupum" has
a
retro
feel
with
mashed
up
lyrics
to
give
it
a
southern
touch.
Then
comes,
"Aga
bai",
in
which
Rani
flaunts
her
sensuous
belly
dancing
skills.
All
thanks
to
music
director
Amit
Trivedi,
for
some
brilliantly
loud
and
flamboyant
music
infused
with
typical
Marathi
folk
music
with
South
Indian
touch.
Watch
or
Not?
Go
an
watch
out
Rani
Mukherjee
mouthing
some
of
the
cheesiest
dialogues
in
Aiyyaa.
On
the
whole,
the
film
is
funny,
wacky
and
entertaining
and
one
of
the
best
slapstick
comedies
of
the
recent
times.
