Wonderful character development!
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Anant Mahadevan turned director with this film, the film has 4 stories which was not tried those days and also tried to reuse old songs with different singers, a good experiment sadly the film comes across as slipshod. The stories seem done to death, Lets analyse in parts Madhavan-Namrata - similar to ABHIMAAN but yet does have it's moments, Madhavan is good, Namrata too does a good jobJimmy-Hrishita- a decent story though had better potential, some scenes are well handled and humorous. Jimmy Shergill is a delight, Hrishita is okaySanjay Suri- Shonali-Rakesh Bhapat- Bhavna stories are not as convincing Sanjay Suri is okay, Shonali is good, Rakesh Bhapat disappoints, Bhavna doesn't get scopeDirection is okay Music is decent but the original compositions still remain a benchmark yet it's a pleasure to hear the old songs again but they lack the zing the original have.Amongst rest, Gulshan Grover is likable, Kiran Kumar is good, rest are okay
Unlike a lot of films right now I found this film watchable, it brings in great old songs of Bollywood and places them in new settings with new characters and it works.The plot is weak its about three couples or something...Each have there own problems and work through it and eventually get back together but the truth is the songs thats the only reason as to why a lot of people watched this film, the songs are brought to a modern settings, 'WOH Haseena!' is brilliantly done and 'Mere Samneh Vali Kirki Mein' is another favourite of mine...Overall the songs are the only thing that will keep you watching.
DVPV is a story of 3-couples, sorry 3 1/2 with immortal melodies of R D Burman interlaced between them: Couple #1: Typical Mills & Boon love-story between Jimmy Shergill and Hrishitaa Bhatt Couple #2: Condensed form of Abhimaan and Akele Hum Akele Tum with Madhavan and Namrata Shirodkar Couple #3: Windower coming to terms with life with Sanjay Suri and Sonali Kulkarni Couple 3 1/2: Love out of pity story with Rakesh Bapat, Bhavana Pani & Riya Sen Obvious overdose of characters with inadequate screen time to justify their existence in the storyline. And add to that, the songs are like unwanted pop-ups surfacing every 5 mins interval (14 songs!!! Are we competing with HAHK?). Admist this the story takes a back-seat and the script gets loaded with loose ends.Songs - Kavita K was a good choice while Hariharan isn't.Obvious references are drawn to Jhankaar Beats which was a tribute to R D Burman as well. But Dil Vil Pyar Vyar appears dwarf in comparison.Anant Mahadevan should restrict himself to acting (and voice-over for Maddy) - direction apparently isn't his cup of "chai".
This is a decent movie about 3 friends and how they meet, etc. It is pretty similar to Mohabbatein and Dil Chahta Hai. The acting wasnt too great but most of them are new people so it was acceptable. The music isnt the best but the movie makes up for it. Recommended. 7/10
