Milenge Milenge movie review: Looking back Shahid Kapoor and Kareena romance

Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor were at the height of their relationship when Milenge Milenge was made and that is the problem with the movie. Everybody knows it is old and it is written all over the movie.

Made on S K Films Enterprises banner, Milenge Milenge is produced by Boney Kapoor and directed by Satish Kaushik. The movie stars Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor in the lead roles. Other major actor includes Aarti Chhabria, Satish Shah, Delnaz Paul, Kirron Kher, Himani Shivpuri, Satish Kaushik, Sarfaraz Khan, and Panini Rajkumar.

Milenge Milenge is a wishy washy romantic melodrama. If you love romantic movies or want to patch up with your girlfriend then this is the ideal movie for you. It has all the necessary ingredients of a typical romantic movie, a hoplessly romantic heroine, beautiful locale and romantic songs.

Milenge Milenge is the rip-off of 2001 Hollywood movie, Serendipity starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale.

Piya (Kareena Kapoor) wants some one who does not smoke or drink and who would love her very much and most importantly, who would not lie to her. Amit/ Immy (Shahid Kapoor) is a heavy drinker, chain smoker and liar. Immy and Piya meet at Bangkok while attending a festival.

Somehow Immy gets hold of Piya’s personal diary and comes to know about her likes and dislikes and then pretends to be her dream guy. Initially, Immy was not serious but then he also fell for Piya. Then Piya sees her diary in Immy’s room and understands what had been going on and leaves Immy.

Three years have gone since Piya and Immy met and the two have gone their own ways. Immy finished his study and returned from abroad while Piya is now a successful music composer. Though they are getting married, they still have feelings for each other.

Milenge Milenge has an interesting story. Fate plays a very important role. Immy and Piya come close and fall in love but then separates and meets at the end.

Shahid Kapoor looks very young and boyish while Kareena Kapoor also looks very young. Himesh Reshammiya’s music is okay.

Overall, Milenge Milenge is nothing special but an enjoyable movie.

Katrina Kaif Believes Her Character in Raajneeti is more glamorous

Katrina Kaif is now busy promoting her upcoming movie, Raajneeti. A political thriller, Raajneeti, has some of finest actors in Bollywood including Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpai, Naseeruddin Shah, Ajay Devgan,Nana Patekar and finally Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif. This is Katrina Kaif’s second outing with Ranbir Kapoor.

From the very beginning it has been speculated that Raajneeti is actually based on Sonia Gandhi’s life. Even Prakash Jha, director of the movie, in some of his earlier interviews said that, Raajneeti was based on India’s “first family of politicians,” which he now refrains from saying.

Katrina Kaif blames herself for all the confusion. She said that since she is a foreigner, many thought that the movie is based on Sonia Gandhi but that was not the case.

In Raajneeti, Katrina Kaif plays the role of a female politician which is very serious and non-glamorous but Katrina disagrees. She says that it is a misconception. She believes that woman’s glamour comes from the strength of her character, the fire in her and the ability to do something rare not by wearing a mini skirt. She says that the role of a domesticated woman is non-glamorous than the one she played in Raajneeti.

In Raajneeti, Katrina Kaif played Indu Pratap. She is the spoilt daughter of a political financer. Indu is very strong and does what she likes. Katrina said, “Indu is very outgoing, fiery, brash and wants everything in life. She is quite shameless in love, meaning, without any caution she goes to the person she loves and pushes him to love her back. When it doesn't get reciprocated she feels jolted and realises she can't get everything she wants, that way my character is pretty glamorous. The so-called unglamorous part comes only in the later half of the film when I am pushed to live a politician's life out of business compulsions.”

The biggest challenge Katrina Kaif faced while playing the character is her poor knowledge of politics and Hindi accent.

Prakash Jha has very good knowledge about Bihar politics and Katrina Kaif watched lots of videos of famous female politicians to prepare for her character. She even met some politicians including Sheila Dikshit and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

She also had work hard on her Hindi accent.

Raajneeti is releasing in theatres next Friday. Let’s wait and see, how people accept Katrina Kaif in her new avatar.
