Mere Brother Ki Dulhan is a fun-to-watch movie, featuring Kat and Imran Khan, which kinda’ resembles Mere Yaar ki Shaadi Hai, in a way (just the plot), except the fact that this time the bride isn’t best friend’s bride, bur rater bhai sahab’s dulhanl hence the name!
Mere brother ki dulhan cast: Katrina Kaif, Imran Khan, Ali Zafar, Ali Abbas Zafar (debutant), Tara D’Souza
The Plot
As the name suggests, Luv (elder bro – Ali Abbas Zafar) and Kush (Imran) are siblings, and after having a break-up with ex-girlfriend, Luv, who is settled in London, asks his younger bro to find a good bride for him in India.
After some efforts, when Kush manages to find a good bride, it turns out to be Dimple (Katrina) who is a free-bird kinda’ bindass girl that loves to freak out, hang high on beers, and do some freaky stuff… Story goes in a small flash-back showing how Kat & Imran had met 5 years back, and how they have a soft corner for each other, but Imran never falls for this feisty tomboy of a girl!
But, this time around, before Kush’s elder bro lands in India, Dimple & Kush have a strong chemistry going, but fail to figure out that they actually love each other, until the day Dimple gets engaged to Kush’s bhai saahab (yes literally that’s what Kush calls Luv in Mere Brother ki Dulhan).
And, then they confess that they love each confess, and need to change the proceedings – Dimple suggests that they elope, and when Kush rules out this idea, she even drugs him with sleeping pills, and takes him in a bus, and when Kush comes back to senses, they’re out of their city!
Basically, all those moments, and the overall plot of the movie, is what really makes it a worthy watch (though just one-time watch!).
Did the Trailers Live Up to Expectations? – Well, not really; especially if you ask me personally… Imran isn’t that good a dancer, and all those copied moves that he has pulled out, weren’t that impressive, nonetheless they make the movie rather amusing…
The Real Star: Both Luv & Kush are kinda’ side-role players, and so is Luv’s girlfriend Pyaali (Tara D’Souza) who hardly has bit of role to play, but the real star of the movie is Kat without a second thought…
Dhunki Laage: A powerful number sung by Neha Bhasin, and equally well enacted by Kat, is also one of the highlights of the move – more than the title song ‘Mere brother ki Dulhan’.
There are lot of hilarious moments in the movie such as the massacred versions of the retro songs like ‘Piya Tu Ab Toh Aaja’, or those dialogues by Katrina that you see in the trailers – “Suicide… Suicide – Gaon Waalon bla bla”
Anyway, coming back to the story – it’s all about how Kush and Dimple manage to marry each other, defying the well set arranged marriage-to-be between Luv and Dimple!
When Luv goes high on lots of beers and bhaang, he confesses that he still loves his ex-gf Pyali, and shows her messages in the inbox; Kush’s best buddy manages to records this conversation, and read those messages too. And, that’s when they decide to call her, and right after getting to know Luv is getting married, she chips in for aid; and just then there’s an item number more like “Shara Shara” in “Mere Yaar ki Shaadi Hai”, and Pyali manages to lure Luv again… And, finally Luv & Pyali elope, and get married in a temple, leaving only Kush & Kat & their families with no choice, but to make-up a scene for Kush’s marriage with Dimple!
In the end, there’s Dhamaal kinda’ drama, and finally Kush manages to marry Dimple – uske bother ki dulhan!
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
