After
the box office success of Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai, Kareena Kapoor and
Tusshar come together once again in yet another Vashu Bhagnani production.
Pooja
(Kareena Kapoor) and Karan (Tusshar) are childhood sweethearts.
But there's a catch - she comes from a rich family, while he's an
orphan, without much in the bank. Any relationship would be strictly
taboo.
And
when Pooja’s mean father notices their delevoping friendship, he
decides to migrate to Mumbai with his daughter.
Why?
Because he can't see his daughter being associated with an orphan.
As a result the youngsters lose touch with each other.
Months
later, Karan is adopted by a kindly father figure (Kader Khan),
who by sheer co-incidence moves to Mumbai with his wife and daughter.
A few
years pass and Pooja's and Karan's paths cross once again. But this
time round they have grown up and don't realise they have met before.
Eventually
when the penny drops, Pooja's father comes between the two lovers
because of the usual reasons: Wealth, family status and misunderstandings.
The
highlight of the film is its well-executed climax which makes it
worth a watch.
Overall
this film is extremely colourful and glossy. It looks almost real
against the backdrop of some notable locations and cinematography.
The
choreography compliments the songs with finesse especially in ‘D³Ü±è²¹³Ù³Ù²¹â€™
which is the most spectacular song sequence in the film.
Actress
Kareena Kapoor is her exuberant and spontaneous self, veering towards
her normal classy character, Poo in the 'Khabie Khushi Kabie Gham'.
We
now desperately need to see something different from this talented
Bollywood starlet, otherwise there is a danger of her being typecast
for years to come.
We
now look forward to her next release where she is paired with Fardeen
Khan. Lets see if she can come up with any surprises.
Tusshar
Kapoor has matured as an actor in this film. He has given his best
and this comes over nicely on screen.
Here’s
hoping that he, too gets plenty of scope to express his talent in
future releases.
Overall,
Jeena Sirf Mere Liye (meaning, ‘Only Live For Me’) is worth a ‘dekho’.
It
will definitely get rid of your winter blues!
