Rajiv Rai redefines Bollywood geometry in Pyaar Ishq aur Mohabbat<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>What do you do when you want a girl to fall in love with you? You find her a lover and make him break her heart and then you be there by her side to console her. That was the story line of Rajiv Rais Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat; a disaster at the box-office. Rajiv Rai redefined the geometrical laws of Hindi cinema by adding one more angle to the age old triangular love story formula, introducing the concept of quadrangular love story. What he couldnt realize was the fact that the audience bored to death with triangles is not going to fall for squares. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Rai tries hard to justify three love stories, but the outcome gets tedious and confusing. After making amazing action thrillers like Tridev, Gupt and Mohra, this film was a let down by Rajiv Rai who followed this film up with another dud Asambav. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Picture This!<BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>There is an exchange offer at the end of the movie where Aftab Shivdasani replaces his bride Keerti Reddy with Arjun Rampals girlfriend, Monica Bedi. Suniel Shetty gets a consolation prize in the form of Isha Koppikar to go with the happy ending cliché which in Hindi film means that all actors get paired. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>No Family planning for Rajkumar Santoshi<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Raj Kumar Santoshis films off late like China Gate (1998), Pukar (2000), Lajja (2001), The Legend of Bhagat Singh (2002), Khakee (2004) had not really been box-office success stories but somewhere his direction and the theme that he selected was applauded. After the semi-success of Khakee, Santoshi teamed up with producer Keshu Ramsay once again to make Family - Ties of Blood (2006). Starring Amitabh Bachchan and Ramsays son Aryeman along with Akshay Kumar in a brief role, the movie had nothing novel to offer and was quite predictable. For someone like Santoshi who was a trend setter with Ghayal (1990), Damini (1993) and Ghatak (1996), this film seemed like a half-hearted effort from the master director in terms of script and execution. A bad opening throughout India speaks about the sorry spate of the film.<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p> <br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Picture This!<BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Amitabh is the biggest don in the city but somehow Aryeman - a nobody, still manages to kidnap his entire family as easily as he got this film.
