Movie Review: Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu

A happy-go-lucky hairdresser meets a "perfectly average" out-of-work architect on Christmas eve in Vegas, they share a drink, and when they wake up in the morning, a la Hangover, they realize they have gotten married. Waiting for the marriage annulment two weeks later, they end up spending some special moments together, and fall in love...

Yes, there is a twist, if you may call it that...

But that's not what you should watch the movie for. Watch it for some great chemistry between Imraan and Kareena, who puts in yet another stirling performance, a repeat of her character in Jab We Met. She looks great, and makes you fall in love with her. Imraan is also good, reminding you of his character in Jaane Tu. They share some very memorable scenes - the scene in which she gifts him a camera, the scene in which she says he is allowed to disturb her at night, the scene in which she say thanks to him for her birthday...

Kareena's grandmom is played by this really cute lady, and you will love the scene in which she scolds Imraan. Absolutely brilliant :) Boman is completely wasted though, which is sad.

The soundtrack is the type that grows on you over time... the songs fit perfectly, and add tremendously to the movie. The Konkani para in Aunty Ji brought a big smile.

Overall, an enjoyable movie... and with the exception of a couple of unnecessary references to sex, a good family option.
