“Perfectly Averageâ€â€¦ These are the words that Kareena’s Rihana uses to compliment Imran’s Rahul. And in more ways than one, they are so apt for the film they have been used in. That is what Dharma Productions’ latest offering ‘Ek Main aur Ekk tu’ is. It does not have excess of anything. Maybe, Shakun Batra, the director stuck to the maxim, The plot is simple. Or maybe, plot is the wrong word. Narrative it is. The narrative is free flowing. Rahul is the robotic, remote-controlled by his parents, battery operated type. The colour of his tie, his hair style and even the number of times he must chew his food… everything is governed by rules. He meets a carefree, live-in-the-moment Rihana. As is the norm, they are poles apart; as different as chalk is from cheese. He has lost a job, she has been dumped. After gulping down barrels of alcohol, the inebriated duo ends up married, by mistake of course. Annulment is the obvious step. But since we love to be in the zone of clichés, a homeless and penniless Kareena lands up at his doorstep. The two bond big time. And invariably, Cupid strikes him while he is listening to a Kuch Kuch Hota Hai song. But cupid this time does not strike her. The end emerges as a clean winner. When Karan and Imran touted EMAET as the metropolitan Jab We Met, one wondered. One wondered was JWM that old to be made again? True, the first half is a polished version of the Imtiaz Ali film. Every frame is a déjà -vu experience. It is the second half, and the end more so that set EMAET apart. Finally, Indian cinema has become brave. Difficult to pitch to an audience brought up on a staple diet of DDLJ, KKHH, DTPH that the leads do not come together and willingly so. No heartburn, no marrying someone else. Kudos to the end, this was well on its way to become another ‘let-go-by’ romcom. Dialogues are a treat. They are short and lively. The dialogues do not cry their lungs out to give you food for thought. Plain conversations and very, very believable. A very sweet narrative!! Music, like the narrative is breezy. Aahatein and Gubbare are like that cool zephyr. They softly caress you, tickle you. No forced item song thankfully. Kareena is back. Finally. From being an arm candy in 100 crore idiosyncrasies to being the soul of a feel-good film. She is feisty, livewire and very spontaneous. She looks like a million bucks. Imran is tailor made for the role. However, the two are not somehow convincing as a couple, they share a very good conversational chemistry though. Cute they look! No one can carry a high society, snooty snob as well as Ratna Pathak Shah. Maya Sarabhai!!! We love you. Debutante Shakun Batra, take a bow for handling that climax so well. Risky, but all the brownie points for handling it so skillfully. Crisp editing, great locales and that feel good factor! Only flaw… it looks superficial at times. For a long, long time we had not a film that just is… a film not trying to be Ketchup brand saying all the time “Its Different!!â€â€¦ but a film that just is. This was no ‘Bodyguard’ boasting of being the most idiotic or a vendetta vehicle ‘Agneepath’ , a cerebral and emotional ‘Guzaarish’, a love epic ‘Veer Zaara’ and not even a too, too practical and Modern ‘Love Aaj Kal’. EMAET is true to its content. Perfectly average. ‘Na kam na zyada’. No nursing a heartbreak for a century, no love song in the Alps, no torrid dialogues. Just crackling conversations. Devoid of any excesses. You might see similarities with many other films, still EMAET stands out!

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu main sound or seem very cliche but it is a completely unpredictable treat. The story is brilliant and full of surprises. The trailer of the movie gives away the basics so I need not mention them but you will be surprised with the ending of this movie. It is completely convincing though. Ek main aur ekk Tu is not a "switch of your brain cells" love story. It is a completely realistic , light and 'funny in moments' story. All the actors have done a great job. Not only Kareena and Imraan but also all the supporting cast. One would expect Kareena's performance to over power Imraans but that's quite not the case. Imraan has grown as an actor and done a fabulous job in this movie. He brings life to his boring character in the movie. He makes you step into his shoes and feel the suffocation he does with his family in the movie. The screenplay , music and direction are all amazing. Ek main aur ekk tu is a sweet, romantic , friendly, desi but yet practical movie. One cannot miss this movie. It is completely fresh and you won't be disappointed.

'Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu' - It's way too slow-paced. Found myself yawning quite a few times. Though the funny moments kept a constant smile on my face but to be frank, calling it boring won't be completely wrong. The 'Karan Johar' element was highly missing. The cast tries to act funny but falls short and regarding the concept, we have already seen it in, 'What happens in Vegas' and 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S' - nothing new. But yeah! a few moments and the cinematography are worth complimenting. Overall, a one-time watch which can be avoided. 2.5 stars from me for this one. :) :)

it was an strictly average fare.nothing great or extraordinary in the film.initially the film seems to be good.we feel that it's a sweet and simple film but then post interval when the story take's a different turn you feel bored.last 20 minutes are unbearable.talking about performances Kareena was different in this one.when you see her on screen at some places she makes you remind her sister Karishma.Kareena has done a brilliant job.Imran was very ordinary.nothing great in his performance.music was good.there are 5 songs in the movie.all of them were good.direction was ordinary.any other director could have done a good job to this film.they can't capture Vegas properly.can't see the scenic beauty of the beautiful city.overall not so great movie.not recommended.
