Pyaar Impossible - Movie Review
SHREK [and its instalments] has been one of the most loved movies of our times. An ogre falls in love with a princess and after overcoming their share of obstacles, the couple live happily ever after. Most Hindi movies take a similar route, don't they? We love happy endings. We want the underdog to accomplish his dreams. We feel euphoric if he walks into the sunset, holding the hand of his beloved.A love story works if you fall in love with the on-screen characters and also if it knocks on the doors of your heart. PYAAR IMPOSSIBLE does that. PYAAR IMPOSSIBLE may not be the ultimate romantic film, but you can't deny the fact that there's something about this film that stays with you, that you carry home... sorry, carry in your heart.
PYAAR IMPOSSIBLE also works because its protagonists, Uday and Priyanka, deliver sparkling performances. No wonder, you get drawn in their world in a jiffy.
Final word? Watch PYAAR IMPOSSIBLE if you are or even if you're not a romantic. It has its heart in the right place!
In a university in California, Alisha [Priyanka Chopra] is the name of that dream everyone wished came true. The most beautiful girl on campus, she makes hearts flutter like leaves in the wind. Everybody loves Alisha.
It is no surprise then that Abhay [Uday Chopra] loves her too. Abhay is a nerdy, awkward, bespectacled geek of the college who is so far removed from her world. She doesn't even know that people like him actually exist.
One day Abhay musters up enough courage to go and express his true feelings to her and realizes that it is never gonna happen. He comes to terms with the fact that Alisha is a Princess and he is just a Geek. That is when their ways eventually part. Later, their paths cross again, as Abhay is busy trying to launch his career. Fate again brings him face to face with the woman of his dreams, Alisha.
Will Abhay have the strength to believe in himself and attempt to achieve what he never thought possible?
You may draw parallels with Chris Columbus' I LOVE YOU, BETH COOPER [2009], but the fact is that Uday Chopra's story in PYAAR IMPOSSIBLE [yes, he has penned the story, screenplay and dialogue] could be anybody's story. This is not about a nerd who wants his program back from a suave hacker. It's about a simpleton, his feelings, the complications in his life and the final triumph. Haven't we seen so many jodis in real life, who may not pair off well, but look compatible? Let's not forget, opposites attract!
You may also draw parallels with Aditya Chopra's RAB NE BANA DI JODI, but writer Uday Chopra and director Jugal Hansraj steer clear of anything that could be similar to Adi's film. The [sole] similarity starts and ends with a simpleton falling in love with an attractive girl.Uday's screenplay remains faithful to the main plot, not deviating one bit. At the same time, it could've been tighter in the post-interval portions. There were ample occasions when Uday could've opened his heart, his motive of arriving in Singapore, that he's not a nanny, that he had been cheated by Dino. But he doesn't!
Thankfully, the writing is back on track towards its climax. Right from the kiddie song, to Priyanka realising that she loves Uday, to the press conference when Uday stands vindicated and Dino exposed, the penultimate moments are the mainstay of the enterprise.
Jugal Hansraj has the trappings of a competent director. He has handled several sensitive moments with dexterity. Salim-Sulaiman's musical score is pleasant, but it can do with that extra push [promotion] from the music division. Santosh Thundiyil's cinematography is top notch. Dialogue [also penned by Uday] are straight out of life.
PYAAR IMPOSSIBLE works largely due to the efficient performances by its principal actors - Uday Chopra and Priyanka Chopra. Both deliver sparkling performances. Priyanka has evolved into a fantastic actor and this film proves it yet again. Five minutes into the film and you realise that you are not watching Priyanka, but Alisha Merchant. That's what this fine actor does to you.
Uday gets it right as Abhay. Sure, the actor has been a part of several films in the past, but this one awakens you to this sincere performer, who, unfortunately, has never got his due. He plays the role of a Geek with astute understanding and it's thanks to his super portrayal that you feel for this character. This should be the turning point in his career.Dino Morea springs a surprise and carries off his part very well. Anupam Kher is perfect in a brief role. Advika Yadav, the kid playing Priyanka's daughter, is adorable. And a terrific actor too!
On the whole, PYAAR IMPOSSIBLE is a feel-good film. If you are a romantic, this one's for you. Even if you're not, still watch it. Its one of those films that will bring a smile on your face - something that most Hindi films don't do these days!

Dino Morea plays a 'kamina' in 'Acid Factory'
He has also experimented with his looksHis dimpled smile and charming looks go well with his romantic hero image, but model-turned-actor Dino Morea is in a mood for make-over with his 'kamina' (wicked guy) role in the forthcoming thriller "Acid Factory".
"I am playing a 'kamina' in the movie. As in the movie, we all have lost out memories. So it would be interesting for people to watch it. To know more about my character you will have to come and watch the movie. All I can say is that it is a very interesting role," said Morea.
Morea along with the team of "Acid Factory" - actor Aftab Shivdasani and producer Sanjay Gupta - walked the ramp for designer Samant Chauhan at the Van Heusen India Mens Week (VHIMW) in New Delhi on Sunday (Sept 13).
In the movie, the actor is sporting long hair and a French-cut.
"I have experimented a lot with my looks in this movie. That time I was growing my hair and Sanjay liked it. The movie is about being rough and tough and my look goes well with my character," Morea said.
The film has been directed by Suparn Varma. Apart from Morea, the movie also stars Fardeen Khan, Irrfan Khan, Manoj Bajpai, Aftab Shivdasani and Dia Mirza.

Dino Morea's official website shut down after hacker attack
Dino Morea is an avid net freak. He spends hours on his Facebook and Twitter account and also loves interacting with his fans on the official site รข€“ www.dinomorea.net.The actor hasn't been able to visit his website since it was hacked yesterday morning.
The actor is majorly upset about his website being hacked. He used to visit it regularly and read the comments of his fans. He would put up pictures of his new look and ask readers for their feedback. His site became like a dating community for members who had registered on the forum. They started posting personal details and someone recently put up a virus, which made the site crash.
Dino confirms, "My site has been hacked into and corrupted. I had a forum where fans would post stuff and chat. But then I realised they started chatting among themselves and it soon became a dating site. Later on, someone posted a virus on the forum and that's how the site was hacked. For now, the site is shut down as it needs clean up."
Even though the actor does not plan to register a complaint in the cyber cell department, he plans to now get a moderator to monitor chats and the contents of the material posted on his virtual address, "It will take a while but I will definitely upgrade it. It probably will also have a new look as I was planning that for a while. My site was hugely popular and used to have super traffic, but it's sad that one person had to bring it down."
