Milenge Milenge - Notepad
Milenge Milenge
quick review:
Milenge Milenge is more about the times Kareena Kapoor (Priya) and Shahid Kapoor (Amit) don't meet (Jab they don't meet). Unfortunately, the engaging situations are detailed with lame lines and the good performances are packaged in tacky overalls.
This page has additional observations, other than the ones noted in the main review.
Plot Summary
Boy meets girl. By coincidence and not. They fall in love. But…do they live together happily ever after?
What Worked
- Shahid Kapoor's expressions for Satish Shah - over the top, but good acting of having to act.
- The 'No Smoking' scene
- The Naarad muni story
- Having decided to take destiny as a theme, the concept of letting destiny decide (50 Rupee note and book)
What did not
Note: This section simply lists the things that I did not like in this movie. This is not the overall impression about this movie. Please read the full review here
- The first frame itself - the titles - looks dated.
- Ok, who's providing for Priya (Kareena Kapoor)?
- I don't if this is good or bad, but because it made me laugh unintentionally, I've put it here. A tarot readers capabilities are limited to when and where she'll meet her man, what he'll be wearing, but not if he's a smoker, teetotaler, etc.
- Even I'd like to have gone to a college that sends students out to Bangkok for youth festivals.
- The sudden cut to Amit's (Shahid Kapoor's) friend Ashish in the canteen.
- What is a 24 year old doing in college?!
- What kind of hostel in, of all the places, Bangkok have an 8pm curfew?!
- The weirdoes in black, with red and yellow scarves, who show up to sing 'ishq ki gali'
- Amit lying down on the tracks in the same song.
- The suspense built during the life scene. Too melodramatic even for this genre.
Nitty-Gritty
This section lists things that I think are not important to the overall impact of the movie. In most cases, it could be explained away by something like, "we noticed the glitch after the scene was shot and there were schedule/budget issues and thus we could not re-shoot it". I like giving the makers the benefit of doubt, but I am amused nevertheless. Hopefully, they will tickle you too.
- The denim shirt and jeans combination that Amit (Shahid Kapoor) wears in one of the scenes looked godawful!

Isnt this the movie that was dabbe mein for saat saal?
@Roy yep! that's the one...
If we compare "Milenge Milenge" with "I hate love stories" then what do you think,which one is better??
I am glad you didn't "write it off". I enjoyed it moderately enough, because like you said... we do begin to root somewhere for the characters.
:)
Its a predictable romantic melodrama alright, but it doesn't claim to be anything greater either.
Quoting meetu:
"thanks for the appreciation. but i try my best to watch all films that come out in a decent theater at a decent time in Pune. It's only fair, i think."
So meetu, where's the review for "Red Alert - The War Within"? I can bet it's in a decent theater at a decent time in Pune.
@Joydeep again, i don't quite enjoy comparisons, but the two are just about the same level of good vs. bad.
@B. H. Harsh I know. The thing is how much weight you give for what's good and what's bad in the film. Just too subjective, movie to movie, person to person and time to time
@lost in confusion haanji, aapka hukum sar aankho par. will do first thing on Monday.
@meetu: dare I ever give you a hukum???!!! I was just sayin'. BTW, Monday's just about to end :p
Looking at the reviews & ratings it's received, I don't think it'd be that bad when compared to the movies churned out by Bollywood lately.
Anyway, I'm not too keen now. So I don't mind whether it's reviewed here or not.
@lost in confusion :) here you go... http://wogma.com/movie/red-alert-the-war-within-review/ and thanks for keeping me on my toes!
@meetu: Thank you ji. BTW, the review's almost as I'd expected it from you.
@lost in confusion 'almost as i'd expected' - meaning like what?
@meetu: I'm not too good at putting my thoughts in words, so I'd skipped that explanation part. But I'm giving it a try anyway. To cut the long story short (for my convenience), I meant that you'd find the movie a bit good & fairly watchable, but not tremendously great to run to cinemas to check it out.
It's not too hard to predict your likes & tastes (of course, only as far as movies are concerned) after having followed your reviews for quite a while now.
BTW, while responding, you can abbreviate "lost in confusion" to LIC (:p) if you're not doing the copy-paste work (just a suggestion from a lazy bone).
@lost_in_confusion yeah, that's true of most people who's tastes one keeps track of. I use your full nickname for the benefit of other readers
predictable melodramas suuuuuuck!
