 Indian
Babu, directed by Lawrence D'souza lacks freshness and
resembles closely to Kajol-Shahrukh starrer Dilwale
Dulhania Le Jayenge.
It's a story of a village girl Dil (Gurleen
Chopra), daughter of Sharadbabu (Alok Nath) who is under
heavy debts. She is engaged to Abhay (Rajat Gowda),
son of Thakur Suraj Pratap Singh (Mukesh Rishi), obviously
a rich bad guy of the village.
Dil has a heart attack, medical findings
say that she has a hole in her heart and needs to undergo
a surgery. Abhay's London-based uncle Karan (Mohan Joshi)
decides to take her to London for treatment.
Now, as you would have expected Dil
meets Jeet (Jaz Pandher) in London. What Next? Obviously,
they fall in love and sing some songs. In the meantime,
Dil's surgery is successful and she is back to normal.
But before they can proclaim their love for each other,
Abhay re-enters and takes Dil back to India.
Just what Shahrukh Khan did in DDLJ,
Jeet too flies down to India. What would happen next,
we all know by now.
The movie is just the same, what we
have seen a number of times on the big screen. Its going
to be difficult for the movie to survive, and with the
Cricket World Cup fever around, it even more difficult
for the movie.
Lawrence D'Souza's direction fails
to leave a mark. The script too is weak. Jaz Pandher
and Gurleen Chopra's debut performance too needs a lot
to work upon. I feel it's the director who can make
the best out of his cast, which Lawrence D'souza is
not able too. Other casts are just OK.
