Salman, Kareena get romantic

Three people, each having different aspirations from life, are caught in a tangle of emotions and don’t know the way out. There’s a husband and wife with love eroding from their life. And there’s a single, happy-go-lucky dude who falls in love with the wife.

Main Aur Mrs Khanna promises an emotional roller-coaster ride into the world of these three characters. Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Sohail Khan play the respective roles. Supporting roles are played by Govinda, Bappi Lahiri, Yash Tonk, Nauheed Cyrusiand Mahek Chhal.

The film is jointly produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Sohail Khan. It’s directed by Prem R Soni.

Characters:

Salman Khan as Samir

Traditional to the core, he hates the thought of his wife going to work. For he staunchly believes that it's the man's duty to be the primary bread earner of the family. He also feels success and wealth are two main things to lead a beautiful life.

Kareena Kapoor as Raina

Brought up in an orphanage she thirsts for love and finds it in Samir. Her belief in their love never wavers for she knows that's it's not money but love, loyalty and support that makes life beautiful.

Sohail Khan as Akash

Boisterous and flirty, he's the kind who falls in love every minute. Till he meets Raina, and knows this time it's for real and wants it to be forever. And for him, it's friendship, laughter and freedom is what makes life beautiful.

An international airport is an unmatched location for human drama. As planes arrive and take off, so do people carrying their baggage of emotions, tensions and unresolved conflicts.

Our three protagonists - Raina, Samir and Akash - are three such people whose lives entwine at an international airport. Here the three find themselves in transit - at the crossroads of life where each has to make a decision that will change their lives forever...

Samir (Salman Khan) has to decide whether he wants to stay in the same city that gave him so much and then took away everything...or fly away to a new city...a new life.

Raina (Kareena Kapoor) has to decide whether her love and loyalty for her husband, who left her to peruse success is more justified, than her faith and trust in her new found friend Akash.

Akash (Sohail Khan) has to decide whether what he feels for a married woman is lust or true love...and whether he's justified in trying to win her at all costs...even at the cost of her marriage.

Three people coming to terms with their conflicting feelings, personal and psychological problems and the overriding emotion - LOVE....set against the hustle and bustle of an international airport.

‘Main Aur Mrs Khanna’ also has a special appearance by Preity Zinta.

The film has music by Salman’s favourite composer duo Sajid-Wajid.

Debutante writer-director Prem Soni must be called truly lucky to get a top line lead pair of Salman – Kareena and a reasonably good budget basing his film completely in Melbourne. While his film begins well, establishing his main characters and their issues without much deviation to sub plots, he fumbles in the second half. While there are a few extremely well handled and well penned sequences in the second half, but the points that the film downhill are – unconvincing situations, lack of depth in emotional issues, too simplistic solutions and most importantly you feel zero sympathy for Mr. Khanna (Salman) or Mrs Khanna (Kareena) or even Akash (Sohail). The drama is just not engaging towards the climax. The actors however have risen above the script and have pitched in wonderful performances.

Salman looks smashing and shows he can play a serious romantic role extremely well too. Kareena looks WOW and acts superbly, especially in the emotional scenes. Sohail in what one may call one of his career best roles does complete justice to his character and rises much above his written role. Yash Tonk aids him perfectly. He is hilarious in the second half especially in his scenes with Salman. Nauheed and Mahek Chahal (last seen as the gangster’s moll in Wanted) add glam quotient and act ably. Bappi Lahiri is hilarious as the jewellery shop owner. Deepika Padukone in a special appearance has nothing much to do.

Sajid Wajid’s music is very good and has been well incorporated in the film. Also, the use of RD Burman’s song sung by Amit Kumar – Bade Achche Lagte Hai has been made smartly use of two times in the film.

As you come out of the film, you do keep feeling that film could have been much better had the second half been handled well. But overall its not a bad film and you won’t regret your time wasted watching it.
