Anil Kapoor has gone all the way to reinstate his dearest daughter Sonam, as he presents her in world famous designer costumes, as claimed in the extra shots, when the movie was shown on T.V. channel. i haven't seen Emma of Jane Austen, but the life style of today's hep youth depicted in this movie, is completely western, and mostly much advanced,even for the majority of rich and affluent class of India,or specially the Metros.
Firstly, i am not quite convinced, why the veteran, ever green Anil, has chosen to select Emma for Sonam, after she appeared in Saawariya, a flop fantasy of Bhansali, which launched Sonam and Ranbir. Then she acted in a couple of movies, popularized Maskkali song,with her spriteful number, but didn't make any mark ,as an actor to reckon with. And most probably, Aisha would meet with the same fate, though there were mixed reactions from the viewers and the critics.
The plot line is hardly substantial, more or less predictable, and lacks grip ; all the couples switch partners, come extreme close physically, but depend on some casual incidents like Shefali falling in water, or Saurabh running to get her sandal in the middle of the traffic,etc. Sonam and Lisa have some beautiful bodies, but as per the western standards; In fact,i was wondering why Sonam is wearing a brassiere, since i failed to see any noticeable bosom ! Did any body else ? Those farm house parties with couples sexily dancing to tango, or the guitarist playing some soulful music, and the girls swaying without any inhibitions, and the last Bhngada number at the time of the multiple weddings, have been tastily filmed, and quite beautiful. But then, the movie has it's own limitations, due to the weak interaction among theses youngsters in search of love, as the attitudes seem to be mostly shallow, and drifting based on how the wind blows. Daddy Anil has tried to present his loving daughter in a leading role of an ultra-modern girl, who is actually more traditional in her ideas about love, marriage, and friendship. She is supposedly generous, by spending more than fifty thousand rupees only dresses and parlors, visiting animal clinics once in a while, etc. Next, though Abhay has done o.k., his voice is his weak point; it clearly lacks depth, and sounds monotonous. Now ,then, Daddy Anil, please come up next,with some real strong good story, and cast poor Sonam opposite an equally charming hero , and avoid making odd pairs. Watchable on a DVD, but easily forgettable.
