MOVIE REVIEW: AAP KI KHATIR (2006)

Star cast: Akshaye Khanna, Priyanka Chopra, Ameesha Patel, Dino Morea, Suniel Shetty
Director: Dharmesh Darshan
Producer: Ratan Jain

In Ratan Jain’s Aap Ki Khatir Bollywood beauty Queen Priyanka Chopra is to be paired opposite sulky eyed hunk Akshaye Khanna for the first time.

Priyanka Chopra is coming on the back of a huge successful flick as in Krrish, with a potential blockbusted on the cards, in the form of Farhan Akhtar’s remake of Don.

Akshaye Khanna, whose Bollywood career was expected to rocket to new heights after the super performance in Dil Chahta Hai, has had a run of very bad films. With the last one being the dreadful Shaadi Se Pehle opposite sex bomb Mallika Sherawat.

This romantic comedy has been directed by Dharmssh Darshan who is working for the first time with Akshaye Khanna, and not with his usual beloved actors, Bobby Deol or Akshay Kumar.

The story revolves around London based Anu (Priyanka), who has broken up with her boyfriend Danny (Dino). She returns to Mumbai to take part in her step sister Shivani's (Ameesha) wedding celebrations.

Shivani is marrying Kunal Shah (Suniel Shetty), who also happens to be Danny's best friend. Anu is keen on getting back with Danny, so she asks her colleague Aman (Akshaye) to play her escort in order to make Danny jealous.

In the process, Aman falls for Anu. Doesn't it sound like it's inspired by Hollywood flick Picture Perfect?

RS Predicted Rating: 6/10
