Sa Roshan Chehra Movie Review :
|
 The
two stars are for debutant Samir Aftab. He has given
a confident performance for a newcomer. He also has
the quiet charm that is missing in the present day actors.
Otherwise the film is an old-fashioned love story complete
with kids falling in love and promising to carry on
their love story even when they grow up. It’s
time our filmmakers came out of this rut. The film has
shades of ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’, and
a bit of ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ too. It is so
predictable and also full of flaws that you squirm in
your seat (that’s if you have still survived the
film) in anger!
It is the story of Raj
(Samir Aftab) and Jiya (Tamanna), who love each other
since childhood. But Jiya's father (Kiran Kumar) does
not approve of this match. We don’t blame him.
Who would ever, in today’s day and age think of
wanting their 10-year-olds to enter into a romantic
alliance! Jiya’s family even migrates to Switzerland.
Thank God we are spared the melodrama here. But how
is it possible that nobody can trace them in that country.
So our lover boy is
left pining for his love and dreams of the day when
he can go and look for her there. Don’t kids today
keep in touch with their friends through e-mail? Or
is the film set in the 80s? Raj’s mother even
gives her 10-year-old kid the mangalsutra and ring that
she has specially made for her future daughter-in-law.
Which world are we living in?
As fate would have it,
Raj gets a chance to go to Switzerland. But the funny
bit is that he is sent there to represent his college
in a dance competition but keeps telling people, including
Jiya, that he is here to look for her! Anyway in true
filmi style, Raj bumps into Jiya time and again (not
knowing who she is) and they get into all kinds of fights
and arguments.
Raj wins the music competition
which angers Jiya and she hires some local goons to
beat him up. He is almost beaten to pulp by the time
she realizes his true identity. A misunderstanding develops
and Jiya gets engaged to a family friend (Dellip Thadeshwar).
Raj is heartbroken but the two sort out their misunderstanding
and fall in love.
How the lovers reunite
in the true sense forms the crux of the story. We wonder
what happens to these bold girls when it comes to fighting
for their love. Why do they suddenly become meek instead
of fighting for their rights. Jiya even goes to the
extent of telling her fiancé that she could be
forced to marry him but she will continue to love Raj.
Why doesn’t she just break off the engagement?
The film is very slow-paced and regressive. Somehow
the love story lacks fire.
Now for the performances.
Tamanna is irritating in the first few scenes but slowly
settles down and acts better in the second half. She
looks better in Indian outfits. Kiran Kumar is fine.
Talat Aziz doesn’t have much to do. Himani Shivpuri
(as the music teacher) is efficient. Dilip Thadeshwar
doesn't get much scope. Jatin-Lalit's music is good
but there is an abundance of songs. At least two or
three songs could be easily dropped. It’s chances
at the box office seem bleak what with no sex or skin
show to make up for the drab pace of the film.
