“Prem Ratan Dhan Payo”.
♪♬♩•*¨*•.¸¸Just done watching “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo”. Salman Khan set a benchmark for the ultimate Boy Scout with his Bajrangi Bhaijaan act, and now he surprises us even more. His character is so virtuous that you will walk out of the theatre fighting a morality crisis. He has a counterpart in Maithili who is solidly under pressure to perform as per the royal decree. It’s all so ‘saatwik’ (pious), you see. Sweets lovers, don’t feel left out, ladder pede jalebis have also been given ample screen time. Meet Princess Maithili (Sonam Kapoor), our Miss goody two shoes runs an NGO, eats at not so classy restaurants and wears matching clothes. And yes, she sometimes likes to flaunt her little black dress for some ‘quality time’ with her fiancé. Just to make sure the message is conveyed to the audience, Diwan Jee (Anupam Kher) explains ‘quality time’ with a lot of hesitation and innuendos. On second thoughts, you need to do this in a film which is strictly vegetarian in its approach. For your reference, people eat veg korma, tanduri bhindi and butter chole in PRDP. It’s all so ‘saatwik’ (pious), you see. Sweets lovers, don’t feel left out, laddu pede jalebis have also been given ample screen time. Salman Khan is quite likeable, his comic timing has gotten better in recent times. Add to it the many honey coated dialogues that make the proceedings funny. It’s a different matter that some religious people might get offended with Seeta breathing passionately. They keep delivering dialogues in slow motion. The pattern they follow is ‘dialogue, crescendo rises dialogue, song.’ Enough to make PRDP look like a film straight out of the ‘80s. The trouble with PRDP is, fun filled scenes turn into tearjerkers in a moment, and you don’t know what’s hit you. It has everything a quintessential Hindi ‘masala’ family film would crave for. But take our advice ➺ Go with a full packet of tissues, you will need all of them. To me, PRDP stands for ‘Poor Rich Devout People.’¸¸.•*¨*•♩♬♪
