One of Bollywood’s most well liked couple Kajol and Ajay Devgan are back to set the screen on fire in this touching story of love. The film sees Ajay Devgan take on a new avtaar as Director-cum-Actor in his directorial debut. The film is infact being directed and produced by Devgan under his banner Devgan Films’. The script is co-written by Robin Bhatt and Sutanu Gupta, apart from Devgan. Vishal Bharadwaj(of Omkara fame) provides the musical score for this evergreen romance.
The film is being promoted as an inclusive family social. Elements of humour, drama etc intermix freely in the storyline. The movie projects and encourages the institution of marriage and the concept of long-term relationships. In the words of the actor-director-producer, “I would rather call my film a romantic film which has a lot of drama and humor”. Considering some of Ajay Devgan’s most memorable performances have come in action and serious roles, it’s surprising that he chose a story which is primarily a romantic comedy for his maiden directorial venture. Nevertheless the film has attracted a lot of attention as it will be after a long time that cine goers will be able to catch the real life pair of Kajol and Ajay Devgan in action together.
The film is set on a cruise ship, as shown prominently on the promos. Ajay, played by Ajay Devgan, meets Pia, played by Kajol. She serves him drinks in that first encounter. He is a top rated psychiatrist, but this beautiful woman completely muddles his mind up and the toll she takes on him is far greater and taxing than that of the alcohol. This was true love in his book. Pia on her part was a woman of the heart, and could only watch as he made a total mess of the episode, and was pleased when he passed out. It took him two dozen drinks to utter the three magical words, “I love you”. A few lies here and there were thrown in to please the lady. The lady won over, it all seemed so idyllic and heavenly for this couple for the ages, till he confessed. And Pia isn’t amused; she leaves. The story is all about the emotions and times of this couple.
U, Me Aur Hum has attracted a lot of interest as its one of the few times when one sees a top line Bollywood actor don the director’s hat, even when in the prime of his acting career. Despite speculation that the film is based on the 2004 Hollywood romance, ‘Notebook’, the makers have denied any such similarity and have claimed their product is completely different. Kajol’s casting in a role that seems completely up her alley is another facet to look out for.
The film, set for an April 11 release, is one of the most exciting upcoming movies. The catchline of the movie says “The greatest journey covered is the distance between two people”. Let’s wait and watch if the film can successfully make the journey to the audience’s hearts.
