We jump ahead to Raj as a young adult when he's a local star footballer. In a scene right out of Forrest Gump (1994), Kajal pushes Raj to skate like a pro, so that his brace pops right off and he's "cured". The story is centered on Raj (Akshay Kumar) and Kajal (Lara Dutta), who begin their relationship as childhood friends, when Kajal encouraged Raj to overcome a handicap-he had an accident and was wearing a leg brace. It came extremely close to getting a 10 from me-only a few bits of stylistic awkwardness, mostly related to editing, lowered my score to a 9, but I'm tempted to overlook those flaws and go ahead with the 10. What matters is how well the film does what it does. That's not a factor of clichés or recycling plots, it's related to cultural facts and desires, and at "worst", it's a factor of defining the "Bollywood" genre.īut even assuming Andaaz was recycling the plot of some famous precursor, so that it would be something like an uncredited remake, I don't agree that we should subtract points for that. I'm starting to wonder if people are not looking at the films from a very "distant", generalized perspective, where they're seeing similarities because most Bollywood films involve romances that aren't exactly smooth sailing, conflicts with cultural traditions, and so on. However, with the films I've watched so far, I haven't noticed anything yet that I'd call a recycled or rip-off plot.
But for all of the Bollywood films I've watched so far, I keep encountering reviews wherein the film is criticized for being clichéd, recycling plots, and so on. I didn't start watching them until recently, so I don't have extensive background knowledge that would enable me to connect the dots as I can with other films when it comes to Bollywood-oriented references, influences and the like, although it's frequent enough that Bollywood films reference American and other films for which I can connect the dots. I'm still getting up to speed on Bollywood films. Reviewed by BrandtSponseller 9 / 10 Fantastic mainstream Bollywood film The question remains will Raj give up his love for Kajal and marry Jiya, or will he end up breaking Jiya's heart and not marrying either one of them? ârAjOo ( ) This does not go unnoticed by Jiya, and she forces Kajal to consent to getting married to her friend, Monty, so that she can have Raj for herself.
