I had been warned about the film before I hit the theatre! "Pathetic," "drag," "awful" was what I'd heard. I was still curious to see just how pathetic it could get ;) Despite all my fangirl-ism for Sonam K, louv for Abhay D and huge expectations from the film, it did turn out 'p.' A shallow storyline with cardboard characters (save a few), Aisha will only be remembered until your next movie on the theatre. The film, all swank and ritzy, is high up on the visual quotient, but that is all there is to it!
Airheaded Aisha (the character) is a sucker for everything chic. She wakes up to a life that's perfect. An ordinary day in her life means - shop n splurge (she flaunts Dior bags throughout); watch polo matches (and rub shoulders with the elite); go around advising people (she mistakes that 'muft ka gyan' for 'social work'); and smile pretty! La la la laa. Superficial, yes, but she's pulled it off 'pretty' decently. Abhay Deol is royally wasted in the film. There isn't much of him, but whatever little, he's fab. He's at his best where he proposes Aisha. (He looks dapper in his Dior suits ;)
After cameos in Rang De Basanti (as a struggling RJ) and Dilli 6 (as a loser photographer), Cyrus Sahukar strikes again and as convincingly, though as a rich-Delhi-da-munda Randhir Gambhir. He's hilarious, he's annoying, he's adorable! Lakme face and supermodel Lisa Haydon (Angelina Jolie look alike?) who plays Abhay Deol's NY-returned friend, is to watch out for (all reasons besides acting ;) All in all, if not anything, the movie will at least make you want to liven up your wardrobes ;)
