Here comes another andaaz. Dated back to the forty’s, the title is one of the many Bollywood titles constantly reused amongst decades past. A revitalized team, of Suneel Darshan as a producer and Raj Kanwar as a director plan to make this Andaaz work. But like the title, the released synopsis on this one makes on thing the story may be as new as the title. Barring Raj Kanwar, Andaaz is a familiar face all around. With the Darshan´s come Nadeem-Shravan´s music, then of course Akshay Kumar. The big news, however, on Andaaz was the introduction of its two heroines, beauty queens with beauty based titles. Lara Dutta and Priyanka Chopra are the mandatory heroines who vie for the love of the hero in Andaaz.
As the promotions indicate, the film is a love triangle with the air force as a backdrop to provide the angle of uniquity. The original couple is Raj (Akshay Kumar) and Kaajal (Lara Dutta). They are the obligatory childhood friends whom are secretly in love but are forced apart due to life´s circumstances. Raj leaves Kaajal to join the air force, which is something Kaajal always wanted him to do. Of course, they do not admit their love or get married but instead they fail to reveal their feelings on each other. Raj arrives in South Africa, and of course, finds Jiya (Priyanka Chopra), falls in love with her and begins to move on. But he still loves Kaajal. Kaajal shows up again and thus sparks the conclusion to the triangle.
If there is one thing one can hope to get from Andaaz, it is some type of dramatic worthwhile entertainment. Thankfully the music has picked up likeably and is worth some attention. Previously, Dharmesh Darshan had previously shown us he could add some jest to a beaten up plot. With the story being no different we can only hope for just that.
all these newcomers in bollywood wear less n less clothes nowadays!!!
