Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu (Hindi)
Release Date:
February 10, 2012Rahul Kapoor (Imran Khan), 26, is on his way to become a carbon copy of his parents when he suddenly loses his job as an architect in Vegas. Afraid that he has let his parents down, Rahul decides to hide the truth and find another job. When by a twist of fate, he meets Raina Braganza, a quick-witted hairstylist, who is everything he isn't.
A series of events lead them to meet on Christmas Eve over a few drinks… but like always, it's never a 'few'. Following this night of debauchery, they wake up to discover that they've gotten married. Now, Rahul has more than just his job loss to hide from his parents.
They both decide to get it annulled as soon as possible and get an appointment from the court in ten days. Over the next ten days they have their share of arguments, moments and laughs that results in an unlikely friendship.
Will this friendship turn in love? Will her warmth and fearlessness give Rahul the courage to face a long-simmering confrontation with his parents? Will a marriage that started as a drunken mistake help two people find themselves?
I haven't really come across such a gracious fusion of a decent screenplay, pleasant music, agreeable cinematography and intelligent editing in a long time in Bollywood movies.
Even the keen, wait for DVD.
Ek main aur ek tu is a mildly likeable, sweet valentine gift in an "it’s the thought that counts" way.
There's a chance you'll like it better if you haven't seen the trailers, because the best gags are covered by them and thus take away from the movie-watching experience.
A pleasant surprise of a film from Dharma Productions - it's subtle, funny and mature.
Final few words - EMAET is an easy watch but fails to connect at the heart level.
Rating - ** 1/2 (theek hai)
Ticket meter - worth 150/- bucks
The film has a core message and it delivers without much ado. The film, like its lead character, doesn’t try going overboard, get melodramatic, exaggerate, or bore you. It just remains the way Raina rates Rahul: Perfect Average.
