sorry to say it..
no she didnt suit it

Kareena didnt suit the role?
Dude, most reviews are sayign the only thing WORTH seeing about this movie WAS kareena. I'm sorry but in this case it was the lack of chemistry between salman and kareena that didnt work. ANd that is not to blame either actor. Its more to do with teh fact that they just dont have that vibe about them. Salman's too protective of kareena and has seen her since she was a kid. Its something he cant overlook.
Seriously, the one good thing about this movie is that kareena's being appreciated. THe critics that didnt like kareena, didnt like ANYTHING or ANYONE in the movie.
The ones that did like something, mentioned kareena in there somewhere.

SALLU, BEBO DISAPPOINT

Critic's I-view

click for larger view
Diwali 2009 had offered a Rupees 200 crore bonanza for Bollywood lovers in India and worldwide. And, 'Main Aur Mrs Khanna' was one of the three major flicks in the three star-studded movies debuting this long weekend. All three movies have belied the hyped expectations of the audiences built by news and trailers from producers. Ajay Devgn's 'All the best - fun begins' does cause many to erupt in laughter and is at least a family entertainer. But, Akshay Kumar starrer 'Blue' lacks the very premise needed for the movie and is being considered a cut-and-paste effort. Salman Khan-Kareena Kapoor starrer 'Main Aur Mrs Khanna' also delivers a disappointment due to many inconsistencies is not far from being just an ordinary flick. All in all, 'All The Best' surpasses the other two and may just do well due to the Diwali film-going rush.
A critical analysis if you will of 'Main Aur Mrs Khanna' shows the director- writer Prem Soni's failure in story-telling and writing. He might have handled a few scenes well as a debutant director, but that's pretty much it! Story lacks any wow and won't leave an impression as soon as you exit the theater. Three main characters interlinked in a romantic tangle - Salman Khan as Samir, Kareena Kapoor as Raina (Salman's love interest) and Sohail Khan as Akash also wooing Kareena even after knowing that she is married and also loves her husband. The trio meets at Melbourne airport in Australia. Salman loses employment and moves to Singapore. But decides his wife should go back to her parents' home in India. But, she opts for a job at the Melbourne airport courtesy her husband's friend Mahek Chahal.

The story begins when Salman goes to Singapore. Kareena meets Sohail at the airport. Though she likes Sohail as a friend but he falls for her. Quite (disappointingly) remarkable that writer-director Prem Soni ignores a commonsensical intrigue of why there's no communication between Salman and Kareena even though they continue to love each other. And then the audience's IQ is challenged when again withour a murmur Kareena ignores that Sohail has fallen for her! And the fact that Bollywood flicks are far from reality is evident in Kareena living in a huge mansion but working a small job at the airport.
click for larger view
Where the confusion begins is when the story omits to mention why Kareena doesn't go to Singapore with Salman when he visits her after settling down. The other twist in the plot is something to do with Australian immigration issue about Kareena who had to show that she's legally married to a local (is it Sohail, and if so how and why) to get and keep the airport job. Anyways, somehow questions arise on Kareena's marital status and interest in her husband Salman. Anomalies galore as the Salman doesn't say anything despite smelling fishy on his wife's possible affair with Sohail and Kareena not saying a word of her liking for Sohail to Salman. So, the love triangle supposedly exists. Well, Prem Soni would have to do a better job at his next movie though as some of the dialogue in the movie is excellent.

In terms of acting, senior actors play their roles very well though the movie does not challenge them at all. The movie belongs to Kareena more than Salman. Sohail fares well and also contributes to some light moments. Yash Tonk isn't as sharp as Rajpal Yadav. Mahek Chahal is okay as his role is limited. One is baffled why Deepika Padukone and Preity Zinta are introduced in the movie. Dino Morea is wasted. Seems perhaps that their roles and names were an add-on (with after-through) to provide some weight to the movie.

So is the case with Nauheed Cyrusi with no significant role to perform. Preity Zinta's item number on the lines of 'Kajra Re' by Aishwarya Rai is no match. Bappi Lahri as a music composer does well. Looks like following in the footsteps of Himesh Reshammaiya. Sajid-Wajid's music is good. Sudeep Chatterjee's cinematography is good but falls short of capturing the picturesque locales of Australia, presumably he doesn't move beyond the Melbourne airport.Overall, 'Main Aur Mrs Khanna' doesn't justify the presence of big and multi-star cast. The movie might just draw a festive season audience but would find it tough to survive.

Midweek: 'Blue' leads, 'All The Best' picks up, 'MAMK' is poor
- By Taran Adarsh, October 20, 2009 - 08:20 IST
Film Cast Plusses Minusses Verdict

Blue
Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Zayed Khan, Lara Dutta, Katrina Kaif [sp. app.], Rahul Dev, Kabir Bedi, Kylie Minogue A slick film with mind-blowing action and incredible underwater sequences Waferthin storyline and weak climax Has had a fantastic first 4 days [Friday to Monday]. While the business dipped on Saturday [pooja], it was fabulous on Sunday and Monday. It's one of the biggest openers of the year, despite the screens getting divided amongst three big films in the Diwali week

All The Best
Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgn, Fardeen Khan, Bipasha Basu, Mugdha Godse, Johny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, Mukesh Tiwari, Vijay Patkar, Ashwini Kalsekar, Atul Parchure Wholesome entertainer with excellent comedy Music Was ordinary to dull on Friday and Saturday, but picked up dramatically on Sunday and Monday. In fact, the business was close to BLUE at several screens. The film has been appreciated tremendously and should maintain the pace on coming days

Main Aurr Mrs Khanna
Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Sohail Khan, Yash Tonk, Mahek Chahal, Nauheed Cyrusi, Bappi Lahiri, Preity Zinta [sp. app.], Deepika Padukone [sp. app.], Dino Morea [sp. app.] Kareena Kapoor Weak script Was poor on Friday and Saturday, picked up marginally on Sunday and Monday, but not enough. The clash with BLUE and ALL THE BEST has cost the film dear

Wake Up Sid
Ranbir Kapoor, Konkona Sen Sharma, Anupam Kher, Supriya Pathak, Namit Das, Shikha Talsania, Rahul Khanna, Kashmira Shah A well-made film in all respects. Also, Ranbir Kapoor's super performance Slows down in second hour Multiplex Hit. Overall average, due to its costs

Wanted
Salman Khan, Ayesha Takia Azmi, Vinod Khanna, Mahesh Manjrekar, Prakash Raj, Govind Namdeo, Mahek Chahal, Aseem Merchant, Raju Mavani, Inder Kumar, Manoj Pahwa, Prateeksha Lonkar Full on masala film with a power-packed performance by Salman Khan Waferthin plot Hit

Both Salman and Kareena have nothing to do in the film.
Kareena tries very hard to raise above the half baked character sketch that she has been entrusted with.
Salman is just not interested in the film from the word go.
Music is the only good thing about the film.

agree..
infact honestly i could direct the movie much better then this director..
no suspense..
and in the promos
where salman says
MAIN AAPNE PYAAR AUR SHAADI KO BECHANE KE LIYE KUCH BHI KARSAKTA HOON
i thought it was when . kareena started ignoring him.. and he wated to be the same samir she married before..
but they gave us false hopes..
i wa so waiting for the movie.. but it was so short..
no scope..
maybe if there was more scenes it would be better..
but sohail didnt have any opposte himself so that mean it was afake news priyanak refused the movie.. opposite him
i know she got the offer salman khan himself said that
but did they change the script or what

Okay. So i watched the movie like a week a go. And i don't have anything new to say about it. It was alright. I loved Sohail in it. And it was just a one time watch, Time-pass movie.. Nothing new. 2.5/5!

The movie was SO badd!! Where was the storyline??? It was supposed to be problems created bcoz of Kareena and Sohails misunderstandings but I didnt see any problem. LOL! Only a one, 2 mins scene and tada, the problem solved. It was as if they are making the movie just for the heck of it.
Salmans role was like a Guest Apperance. And Kareena, she was just not good enough. It showed that she did the movie just for the realationshil sake and thats y she didnt come off as presentable enough.
And just as I was thinking ok, something will happen, ok now something may come, ok now now maybe noww and as I was thinking about the "now, something will happen", the movie ended.
And wen it ended, I was left with a blank face. I kept wondering what the hell was this movie???
Everything was bad, be it Kareena, Salman or most imp. the storyline which was zero.
Only saviour was Yash Tonk to an extent.
I ll give it a 1/5.

I think Desu thats her perspective and we shud respect it.
And the other thing that if you ll get the Salman-Kareena relation angle into the movie not working and their chemistry not working then honestly they arent capable enough to be called actors. Coz thats wat acting is about. Making everything work.
This point, relation one is just not acceptable.
