It is not everyday one comes across an intelligent yet funny movie like EMAET. EMAET scores where every other rom-com fails, it’s a very stylish, non melodramatic, yet effective and entertaining affair.
I must warn you in the beginning itself that many people may not be able to relate with the characterization of a few character, mainly the open minded parents of Kareena Kapoor. The overall movie is placed near the lines of profanity but never crosses it, the maker should be applauded that he never used the modern theme of the movie to venture into the areas of so called boldness or vulgarity.
The movie deals with two separate kinds of individuals, who by mistake get married in Las Vegas out of their utter intoxicated condition. They realize the mistake soon enough and are mature enough to go for annulment i.e. declaring the marriage null and void from the beginning. However the heroine is kicked out of her job, as well as her apartment (due to non payment of rent), and since there is no where else to go, she stays with the hero. Even the hero has been kicked out of his job, but has not told his parents. As the hero is living his life in a miserable condition since childhood, as his overbearing, filthy rich parents have never appreciated him and that has turned our hero in a dull and uninteresting personality. With the entry of ‘high on life’ heroine in his house he starts getting easy on his life. While developing a soft spot for the heroine in the process.
This is one of the better performances of Kareen, any may be the best one for Imraan. The supporting cast has done a wonderful job as well; Boman Irani, Ratna Pathak Shah as Imraan’s parents are excellent, even Ram Kapoor who gets just 2 scenes is pretty good. The dialogues are good, the music is great, the scenes are funny; especially look out for Imraan’s wild encounter in bathroom, and the family dinner sequence near climax.
But the icing on the cake for me was undoubtedly the climax. Many may not agree with it, I feel there could not have been a better culmination to the story. The first time director has got every thing right, starting from the script to the casting, and music to editing.
One of the best movies of the year, go for it.
Rating ***1/2.
Just come back after watching it, u r bang on target about climax, in my opinion they screw up in the last half an hour still they can all make up for that in last few mins, only reason i can think of they do that bcs they have a sequel in mind otherwise if u think about the masses point of view this movie can generate much much more profit if they change the climax or they can have two different endings (happens before) - Abhi
