Simple story with a fresh screenplay. As it was expected we are running out of scripts so the hit formula is to turn the table. Same story with a different angle and if not superhit it creates an avg impact. Who doesn't love to see the age old boy meets girl story. But hold on, here the story is bit further showing what exactly happens after boy -girl meet and actually get married.
So the starting only is a bit confusing. Samir (Salman) and Raina aka Mrs. khanna (kareena) are married but not heavily in love with each other. Getting married against parents and settling down in melbourne a good move. The good part of it was no intervntion of parents disagreeing, guilty feelings, main sab chodke aayi, tumharre liye apne mata pita ko chod diya.....etc nonsense. But further the moves are lost. Samir loses his job and needs to shift to another country altogether. Raina like a good wife decides to follow her husband. Thanx for sparing the melodrama of ego clashes there. She quitely takes up the job at airport, makes frnds with other stars of the film. Akshay (Sohail) likes Raina but as stated in the movie who wouldn't fall in love with a perfect figure lady, with milky white complexion, perfect hair (2-3 hrs of efforts by make up man) n ofcourse the hot but decent n wearable dresses and a parade of fashionable bags n footwear. So our Akshay is left with no choice but to love her. The work permit problems are always a rescue for films based in abroad. here it does it one more time. Akshay agrees to marry Raina (as if given a choice he wud have refused it).
After all the problems n solutions comes our Sameer to blow away everything. But the best part is no one gets blowed away and after few entertaining shadyantras of our lover boy sameer gets a hard time. After one sad sequence which was need of the hr for everyone in the film, the choice is left to Raina.
Loopholes : Which airport shop salesgirl gets a full fledged terrace flat with huge book shelf n books to keep on it. Gone are the days when people used to loose hope when they wud come to know of the fact that opposite person in engaged. here the females is married still line maaroing is on and if that was not enough even after when her husband has come there are tricks to shoo him away. Thats too much.
Over all a good entertainer...no pauses, now dragging along. The movie gets over in one go. Good crisp editing, especially the airport scenes where Raina is left all alone. Kareena's acting is worth appeciating. And so is sohail Khan's. Its always a risk to watch sohail khan in home poductions where salman khan is hero and sohail khan is also in race for heroine. But thankfully the maine pyar kyu kiya or god tussi gr8 ho effect does not haunt us here and Sohail Khan was quite in character n quite in control. Yash Tonk always makes his presence felt and he does it again with this movie. Deepal Shaw, Nauheed Cyrusi (good thought that u gave up main lead roles) and Bappi Lahiri did a perfect job. Salman Khan looked a bit old for the newly married couple....a younger hero wud have done wonders but doubt if he looked arrogant n matures which salman did fabulously with his straight face expressions and drowsy eyes. But he needs to look younger and maintain himself he has to survive in industry for such roles. Locations, clothes, accessories all were perfect and the set of airport looked quite real. Good job by art director there. A good attempt by Prem Soni, next time more attention to fresh story won't harm. But overall a good time pass for 2 hrs...1 time watch.
