Finding the dream girl is tough enough. Finding her in a
hurry is even tougher.
Yogesh Patel (Harman Buweja),
an NRI living in Chicago has been summoned back to India
for his multi-million dollar inheritance from his
grandfather. The condition is that he should get married
within a specific period, and the family now needs that
kind of money to pay off Yogesh’s older brother's debts.
His solution is simple, he
will meet one girl from each rashee - sun sign, as he
feels that is the best way to make sure he finds a
suitable wife, while also giving himself twelve chances to
fall in love. Two meetings per day gives him six days to
meet them, three days to make a final decision and he can
get married on the tenth day or so he thinks.
The main draw of this film – Priyanka Chopra plays all 12
characters:
Anjali is an Aries. She is a gawky small town girl, well
educated, honest, but doesn't speak much English.
Vishakha is a Taurean. This beautiful daughter of very
rich parents, appears playful and immature. Has fun in
life, yet Yogesh finds her immature and thinks it would be
difficult for both of them to adjust with each other.
Kajal is a Gemini. She is a fashionable high-class,
outgoing and a romantic college girl. She wants the
marriage to take place after one year. Yogesh is in a fix.
A Sagittarian, Bhavna is a
religious and superstitious girl. Well educated and
religious. Hence she relies on stars and horoscopes. She
did not prefer Yogesh due to the stars.
Jhankhana is a Capricorn 15
year old village girl. A Quiet and honest girl, but she is
just 15 years old, uneducated. It is her father who is
desperate to marry her off to ease his burden and he
doesn't want her to study more as he has no money to
sustain livelihood.
Sanjana is an Aquarian. An attractive and successful
microbiologist, she is an NRI and she is beautiful. Both
had a lot in common, but she initially asks Yogesh to
reject her, as she herself has a secret boyfriend.
Pisces – Chandrika is a naive traditional Gujarati girl.
Beautiful, sweet and honest, but a little too out of the
world for Yogesh.
What's Your Raashee? is not as impressive as Ashutosh
Gowariker’s milestones like 'Lagaan', 'Swades' & 'Jodhaa
Akbar'. The film is very lengthy with many unwanted songs.
The show stealer is Priyanka Chopra. Harman Baweja is just
fine.
