‘I Me aur Main’ Movie Review- Tanmay Dubey

 

 

Starring :-John Abraham, Chitrangada Singh, Prachi Desai, Zarina Wahab, Raima Sen and Mini Mathur


Director:- Kapil Sharma

 

I recently read an article which proclaimed India to be having four time zones of the way of life. One for the people who lives in the forest are approximately 500 years away; two who lives in villages are approximately 100 years away; three who lives in T2 cities are living the way it was 50 years ago and finally the upper class, who apart from flashing latest gadgets, speaking in English, boast a different value set altogether.

“I, Me aur Main” is a story based on this present time zone with people having value sets that challenges the conventional society values. The protagonist is shamelessly self-centered (the seeds of which were sown in childhood by an over loving mother) and do not care about his relationships. He goes through up and down in his personal and professional life and realizes the value of not being ‘the best’ for self but ‘being the best’ for others.

The movie thankfully does not offer you very lengthy romantic tracks and is quite crisp in the making. Although the second half is little slow but still debutant director Anand Sharma (Son of India’s first astronaut in space Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma) manages to tell the unconventional love triangle story quite decently.

John Abraham seems to have a little bend over unconventional stories about the new generation males (be it his home production Vicky Donor or the present one) and shows his acting skills apart from flexing overgrown muscles. Prachi Desai is good as bubbly Gauri and Chitranagda ‘delivers’ (quite literally) a mature performance. Mini Mathur is very well cast in the film and does the elder sister role very nicely. The use of balle balle in the background during the supposedly funny scenes of Zarina Wahab does not gel well. (What is Punjabi background music doing in a Marathi mother set-up?) Raima Sen is good in her 'tough nut to crack' corporate women role.

The film does not offer anything outstanding be it the Story, Dialogue, Music, Screenplay and settles happily in the Average category offering!. J
