EXCLUSIVE REVIEW BY HANUMANT BHANSALI
Afzal Khan’s Mehbooba has been in the making since 2002, thereby ,making the look of the film belonging to the goneby era of film making. The lavish sets, the item number, the comedy scenes all assemble to make a film which could have run to packed houses if it was released in the late 90s.
The story of Mehbooba starts off with the ‘flirty vicious’ character of Shravan Dhariwal (Sanjay Dutt) who is a rich businessman residing in the lavish city of New York. Shravan believes in getting whatever he desires for, at any cost. He believes in the myth that money can buy anything in the world.
His definition of love is restricted to his bedroom. However, Sharavan’s ego gets hurt when Varsha (Manisha Koirala) refuses his advances. Shravan tries to please Varsha with costly gifts but fails to change her heart. Varsha loses her temper and abuses Shravan in front of many people.
Shravan realizes the true meaning of love and decides to amend for the pain he has given to Varsha. He goes to her father and asks her hand for marriage. Varsha’s father, who is convinced by Shravan’s change of attitude, agrees for the same and persuades his daughter to accept Shravan.
