If you think this review is incoherent, feel free to blame it on the film. So the two of them take midnight swims, befriend a frog, go horse-riding, and befriend bugs or even better, they dance to an array of songs- like the catchy 'Gulabo' or the all-time favourite 50s ditty, 'Eena meena deeka.' This one is between Alia (Alia), who we later discover is Bipin’s illegitimate daughter (damn, one should have known) and the wedding planner, Jagjinder Joginder, JJ (Shahid).Ī happy coincidence-like Alia, JJ also suffers from a sleep disorder. The ridiculous plot, allows one real romance to also blossom. Everyone is scared shit of 'mummyji’' so they abide by what she says. This 'deal' has to go through or they will remain cash-strapped for life. In the backdrop of a destination wedding in London, two families try to save their respective. Years later, Bipin’s belligerent mother decides to get his daughter, Isha (Sanah Kapur) married into a rich Sindhi family called Fundwanis (howlarious!). With Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Pankaj Kapur, Sanjay Kapoor. Even worse, the bechari anath is an insomniac. The tycoon’s harridan mum (Sushma Seth) and ambitious wife (Nikki Aneja) do not take a shine to the child. You can defend the director’s indulgence or even forgive him for borrowing Tarantino’s Kill-Bill, part-animation, part-live narrative style to tell you the tale of an orphan girl who is given shelter by an affluent businessman, Bipin (Pankaj Kapur).
