Movie Review: Dulha Mil Gaya

So what do you get when you combine a relationship fearing guy and a relationship swearing girl? And what happens when a girl for whom work comes before anything and a guy for whom love is everything try to fix everything? Well, we’re left with a problem even worse than that tongue twister.

This hilarious comedy takes us through an emotional roller coaster as we encounter many dynamic characters and see the crazy things one does for love. A unique and charming script, combined with a highly talented cast gave this movie a great outcome.

The movie focuses on the relationship of two confused, love filled couples. The first pair consists of ‘tough guy’ Donsai, played by Fardeen Khan, and the quiet and shy Samarpreet, known by us as the lovely Ishita Sharma. From Donsai and ‘summer’, we are introduced to Shimmer, played by Sushmita Sen, and Pawan Raj, played by the legendary Sharukh Khan.

The confusing tale of these four love birds leaves the audience laughing continuously and envious of the perfect match of these confused lovers.

The movie begins with the introduction of ‘tough guy’ and ladies man, Tej Danraj aka Donsai. With the recent death of his father, he is forced to make a tough decision his father left for him; marry a stranger from a small village or stay a bachelor and lose his million dollar inheritance. Being a spoiled child used to life’s riches, he makes the obvious decision of marriage. From this non-committing, long-term relationship scared player, the movie takes us a small Punjabi village and into the home of quiet, relationship bound young girl, Samarpreet Kapoor. With an innocent and blunt mind, she immediately accepts Donsai’s request and they have a quiet marriage.

All seem too suspicious and sudden? Well, it was. The only way for Donsai to be able to keep his money was to be ‘married’. But all he really needed was legal documents. Is the picture starting to become clearer?  Marry the girl, get the proof, and never see her face again. It seems like a perfectly good plan, right? Well apparently there were other plans for Donsai.

Here is where we are introduced to rich and successful Shimmer. She has guys running after her, but her heart seems to be set on one man. Too bad her policy in life has always been work before love. As Samarpreet comes searching for her long lost hubby, she stumbles into Shimmer, who also happens to be Donsai’s best friend. With her help, they come up with the ultimate scheme to transform Samarpreet from village girl to drop dead gorgeous diva. And with this, she goes from Samarpreet to Samara Kapoor.

In helping Samara, Shimmer realizes some love problems of her own. Although the perfect man was standing right in front of her, she wasn’t able to put aside her work for his love. With the help of her lover, Shimmer flicks her magic wand and in an instant, Donsai is falling head over heels with Samara. But what is this, another problem? It seems as Donsai has a guilty conscience, and can’t seem to be with Samara while he is supposedly married to Samarpreet at the same time.

Lucky for him, he gets the two-in-one package. J At the end of the movie, what seemed like impossible pairs become fairy tale couples.

This cute romantic comedy leaves the audience singing along to its’ catchy tunes, loving the happy ending and in the end, hoping to find a dulha of their own so they can say it too, “Dulha Mil Gaya”
