(translates as "why did I fall in love")
2005
4/5 stars
Womanizing doctor Samir (Salman Khan) always tells his girlfriends that he is married, so as to prevent any serious relationships. When he falls in love with Sonia (Katrina Kaif) and wants to marry her, Samir tells her that he will get a divorce. Sonia insists on meeting his wife first, so Samir persuades his nurse Naina (Sushmita Sen) to pretend to be his wife. When Samir's mother (Beena Kak) arrives and discovers that he is "married", further complications ensue. All the while, Sonia's neighbor (Soliel Khan) is trying to woo her, too.
Based on Hollywood's 1969 Cactus Flower, this romantic comedy is quite amusing. While I wasn't impressed with all the music, I found some of the group choreography quite good. Sen gave a great performance, and Salman Khan did well also. While I'm not fond of the slapstick humor used by Soliel Khan in this movie, the chemistry between the brothers was fun to see. Kaif is the weak link in this film. Either she is a poor actress (I wasn't fond of her in Partner, either) or her role wasn't well written. If you compare this film to the original, it doesn't stack up well; however, on it's own as an example of typical Bollywood, it's fun to watch.
Includes cameo by Arbaaz Khan.
