If Ashutosh Guwarikar is to be taught any cinema lessons, it would definitely be time management! For epic sagas like Jodha Akbar or Lagaan, that may be still understandable but for a romantic comedy like What’s Your Rashee, three and a half hours is seemingly… well… LONG!
Yogesh Patel played by Hurman Baweja comes to Mumbai from Chicago to find a girl in 10 days. ‘Agar mein har rashee ki ek ladki se milu toh… and may be.. give myself a chance to fall in love,’ hopes Hurman.
And then, Priyanka Chopra in different avatars is all set to woo this NRI. How convincing are the traits from each zodiac sign… well...they were just 12 different girls and perhaps Rashee was a way to show them different.
What’s hot – Priyanka’s performance. From her make-up to her attire and of course her acting…. Besides her face, the characters were different!
‘I go out on all dates – Mondates, Tuesdates upto Sundates… Sorry expect Tuesdates…Vrat!,’ says the Gujju Virgo Piggy Chops.
The story had funny moments, not just by Priyanka but quirky dialogues by Yogesh Patel’s Gujju family!
What’s not hot is … Too many songs! Of course that prolonged the duration of the film and you can’t wait for it to end. No exotic locations… nothing larger than life… which you would otherwise expect from Guwarikar’s film. And his choice over the final bride isn’t convincing either.
Because you know, you have to encounter with 12 Priyankas in one movie, I expect the movie to go faster. So, if your rashee says that you are blessed with a lot of patience, may be you should go for this one. For Priyanka’s performance and Hurman’s attempt at acting, I give it a two and a half stars.
