SALMAN
Khan is quite a convincing actor, especially when he is romancing. But
he needs to look more realistic when he is grieving for his doctor
wife, played by pretty Preity Zinta who is killed in mishap. Anyway, a
pampered Salman and fresh-looking Preity do bring the bonding alive.
The formula hinges on the heart of the doctor, who before dying,
literally gives it to her patient played by Bhoomika Chawla. Now
Bhoomika can’t be anything but a captive of her heart. Little wonder
then that she in love with the widower instantaneously. But his only
mission in life is to realise a dream project of his late wife.
Add to it Bhoomika, who crawls out of woodwork to prove the adage
“human beings die but love lives on”. She thinks like her, feels like
her and even dreams like her. With Boomika leading and Salman
crusading, there is no chemistry but only a little mystery between the
two.
Oddly enough our hero does not want to know in whose body the heart
of his beloved is throbbing. The leading lady, too, remains
unenlightened of her saviour.
Mercifully, first-timer director Atul Agnihotri has spared us from
the scenario of her ghost hovering around a la “Hello Brother”. It is
only a heart clinging on to its hubby and that too, a transplanted
one. Quite acceptable, especially when it offers some touching
moments.
Go with your family to enjoy this clean fare. It is assured that
you will return home with an equally clean mind because it won’t
linger on. Quite an average film to watch. — TNS
