Director of the movie Dharmesh Dharhan changes his gears by attempting a light entertainer this time with his film 'Aap Ki Khatir'. The Director Dharmeh has taken the inspiration from Hollywood film 'The Wedding Date', and also the films story bears resemblance to 'Monsoon Wedding'.
The best thing about 'Aap Ki Khatir' is, the light moments (in abundance in the first hour) work. But the sad part is, the drama in the second hour doesn't. A rip off of 'The Wedding Date', 'Aap Ki Khatir' is a film that promises nothing and goes nowhere. It just meanders around.
Anu (Priyanka Chopra), a London-based Indian, lives in Mumbai after her break-up with Danny (Dino Morea). But she has to return to London. Reason: Her stepsister Shirani (Amisha Patel) is getting married to New York-based Gujarati businessman Kunal (Suniel Shetty). As luck would have it, Danny is Kunal's best friend and also happens to be on the guest-list. Anu hatches a plan to get back at Danny and make him jealous. She hires an escort, Aman (Akshaye Khanna), to accompany her to the wedding as her new boyfriend. The plan works gradually. But the skeletons tumble out of the cupboard. Shirani was involved with Danny after he broke off with Anu. Meanwhile, there's a twist in the tale. Aman realizes that he's in love with Anu. But Anu is keen on Danny.
'Aap Ki Khatir' can be a compartmentalized in two sections. The first hour focuse on light moments, while the post-interval portions try to highlight the misunderstanding that encircles the charecters. The climax is a complete downer. The confrontation between Suniel and Dino looks fake primarily because Suniel comes across a narrow-minded individual. He decides to act in the most irrational manner.
Performances: Hero of the film Akshaye Khanna is the soul of the Movie. The fascinating actor gives his whole hearted performance in this film which should win accolades. Priyanka Chopra goes over the top intially, but is contorlled in the penultimate porions. The other casts Dino and Amisha patel have done a decent job in this film. With Bhumicka singh good looking, Suniel Shetty and Anupam Kher try hard to make you laugh.
