Starring: Fardeen Khan,
Sushmita Sen, Ishita Sharma, Shahrukh Khan, Johnny
Lever, Tara Sharma, Mohit Chadda
Directed by Muddassar Aziz
Shahrukh Khan makes a guest appearance in this film
which also has few songs featuring him along with other
stars Sushmita Sen and Fardeen Khan and directed by
Mudassar Aziz. The film is about relationships and the
changes that happen in people's lives when they fall in
love.
It opens in Trinidad with a spoiled brat son, Tej
Dhanraj (Fardeen Khan). a rich Casanova who will never
marry and hopes to inherit millions from his deceased
father's estate. Shimmer is his best friend. Sushmita
Sen plays the role of a successful supermodel called
Shimmer who is a much sought after model in the West
Indies.
Shimmer takes Samarpreet under her wing and transforms
her into Samara, a svelte, sassy, saucy girl who sends
her own hubby leering like a poodle. Meanwhile SRK is
waiting for Shimmer to say yes to him.
Fardeen Khan, as the playboy has gained a lot of weight
and appears less attractive in this flick. Newcomer
Ishitta Sharma is cute and decently-beautiful since she
is impressive as the soft-spoken rural Punjabi girl but
lacks the oomph factor which was much required for her
character in the second half
Sushmita Sen as the supermodel appears tired and bored
in this story. She lacks the sensuality unlike which she
usually appears in recent films. Johnny Lever hasn’t
much to do and is disappointing.
It is only when Shahrukh’s around, the proceedings
entertain, but on the whole the film maker has lost an
opportunity to come out with a hit, having SRK even if
it is for special appearance.

But Tej is in for a rude
shock. To be able to inherit the wealth of his deceased
billionaire father, Tej has to marry his dad’s friend’s
daughter who is in Punjab. So he has to leave his water
skiing and bikini babes back in the Caribbean and fly to
Punjab to marry a village girl.
So Bonsai marries Samarpreet. But the next day he is back
in Trinidad, without the village belle, Samarpreet Kapoor
(Ishitta Sharrma) who is now her wife. Bonsai is back to
his philandering ways in Trinidad and Tobago.
Samarpreet is the typical Indian girl who is the 'sati
savitri' type, and goes to any lengths to woo her husband.
She packs her bags and leaves for the Caribbean only to
find her husband canoodling with semi-clad babes.
Incidently, Samarpreet is
knocked down by a speeding car. She wakes up at Shimmer's
home where gets support from Shimmer and Pawan Raj Gandhi
(Shahrukh Khan). Shimmer is embarrassed of Donsai's
behavior. She hopes to reform him one day.
Not even Sushmita Sen and Shah Rukh Khan can save this
film which has a terrible script and a jumble of
strangely lined happenings. Even the veterans like
Johnny Lever and Parikshit Sahni are wasted in this
average fare.
