Hadh Kar Di Aapne: This is another slapstick romance set in Europe where Anjali (Rani Mukherjee) and Raju (Govinda) are both pretending to be someone they are not. It is a comedy of errors where the two fall in love with the beauty of Europe and with each other. But thanks to the appearances they have been making, serious confusion ensues and the two are separated even before they return. But like all comedies and romances, it's a happy ending for the estranged lovers who come together after all mayhem is cleared. http://www.shaaditimes.com/travel/destinations/met-080311 |
