The publicity for this movie was very misleading by showcasing it as a romantic comedy about Arshad Warsi and Mahima. These two just play two of the many characters in this film. The movie takes a look in an episodical fashion at several struggling couples who are stuck at an airport due to a long delay of their flight. These couples are either lost loves, broken hearts, on the verge of divorce, or divorcées. The idea is interesting, but it is not executed well. The movie becomes extremely long-drawn and boring. The audience begins to get as impatient as the characters in the movie waiting to board their flight. What I mainly got out of this film is that in today's busy world, we are all running around, struggling to stay on top of schedule, and end up ignoring, hurting, and miscommunicating with those who mean most to us. All it takes is a few "forced" hours of conversation with no distractions to clear up misunderstandings, lucidly see the other's point of view, and realize where one's position in life is. We need to shell out time for our loved ones and communicate with them to avoid broken relationships and/or unnecessary anger/hurt/fear. Mahima and "the crier" gave good performances. Arshad Warsi should stick to comedies and supporting roles as in Munnabhai and Salaam Namaste. Shahrukh's special appearance was really pointless.

sauravjoshi8518 August 2023Kuchh Meetha Ho Jaye is a romance film directed by Samar Khan. The film stars Arshad Warsi, Mahima Chaudhry, Parvin Dabas, Rohit Roy, Sandhya Mridul, Sachin Khedekar, Kanwaljit Singh to name a few with Shah Rukh Khan had a special appearance as himself.
A group of passengers whose flight is delayed due to a technical error are left to wait indefinitely. In that time, they get the chance to interact with each other and sort out their issues.
We have to understand one thing that this is not a love story between two characters which is been displayed majorly on the poster but a set of interwoven stories of fellow passengers facing certain challenges in their respective lives.
The plot of the film is interesting but the execution is the major spoiler of the film and despite of a promising plot the films fails to create enough ripples. There could be many reasons behind this but the main reason i found was the uneven screenplay and off-course bad selection of certain actors who instead of making look the film interesting makes the film more tedious to watch.
There is no doubt that there are certain good actors in form of Arshad Warsi, Mahima Chaudhary, Kanwaljit Singh, Pravin Dabas, Sandhya Mridul, Rohit Roy and so on but it seems that either these character were not given full liberty to showcase their talent or these actors themselves were applying half hearted measures.
The screenplay of the film is average, there are certain interwoven stories of the fellow passengers but due to immature screenplay the viewers either doesn't feel connected with their stories or might feel irritated. The length of the film is not that large but might be difficult for you to end the film at one go and you might take constant breaks or breathers.
There are certain scenes in the film which doesn't makes any sense but still were there in the film like Arshad Warsi drinking continuously on duty feels laughable and makes no sense as no one is allowed to drink on the duty. He is just an employee at airport and not the owner. A man roaming at the airport raising Sikh Slogan didn't also makes any sense or why he was there only. The accent of one of the character playing a man from Rajasthan is terrible and looks totally unconvincing, in fact The Italian accent of Pravin Dabas looks completely unnatural and makes things worse. The character of Sandhya Mridul was crying in the entire film but in the climax gives chin to chin smile which again doesn't makes any sense. To the matter the love story of the character of Rohit Roy and Sandhya Mridul doesn't make any sense as it ends without any proper closure. The only positive point in the film was the cameo of Shah Rukh Khan who works as a fresh air but that comes too late.
Music in the film is average.
Overall a good plot ruined due to the immature and novice approach. -
priyodit7 February 2006This movie is one of a kind, the kind which never gets repeated usually in Hindi cinema. You feel like getting in love with This movie, if you ignore the direction part of it. It (the movie) is about a small airport with it's daily routine, and one fine day, a plane gets out of order, leaving a few stranded people on the air terminal. The people are thrown out of their hectic schedules and now have a lot of time at their hand... There's a pilot and an air hostess, The air hostess having a baby of the pilot, A divorced couple with an 11 yr old daughter returning back to their respective destinations (?) after a get together of a day per year schedule, A couple almost on the breakpoint of their marriage, a teenage pair of internet lovers having met for the first time, an Italian NRI wanting an Indian bride, A gujju bhai always on his cell phone, a newly wed couple with an excessively domineering wife, their parent in laws (the widowed father of the groom romancing the aunt of bride!), the airport manager and his assistant with a baggage carrier with a lost hen. A long list of characters and some of them redundant, and some of them wasted! A character who has no role to play in the movie is redundant and a character who is not optimally used is wasted. The gujju bhai, the teacher and the monk (did i tell you about this American "hare rama hare krishna" monk here?) are redundant. Absolutely no use in this story. Arshad Warsi has improved himself a lot from his "Tere Mere Sapne" times. His maturity shows up as an actor (here as a manager), sometimes smiling and sharing a few smiles here and a few grins there, and sometimes as a man who retrospects at his past, when he sees his love Mahima as someone else's wife. He and Sachin Khedekar stand apart from rest of the crew in that small airport. Sorry to say, but Arshad Warsi had more to say in the movie, and Sandhya Mridul (as the air hostess), the less said the better. She had no point in her sad story. And Of course there is this sleeping guardian angel (He is the surprise angle) from whom i had heightened expectations, that, in a flash he would relieve all the miseries of these deserted people, but alas! he joins the wasted group. The Cinematographer has done a good work and Himesh Reshammiya, as a music director excels in delivering a list of good smooth and free flowing numbers, especially Bhool jayenge hum, and a Thumri Number which is played in between. The script is so strong it takes you on her shoulders, even if the direction fails! It is a dreamy movie, watch it with dreamy eyes, you will love it's script, i did!
