Aisha

It has been adapted from Jane Austen's Emma. Ok, I hope this itself tells you that this is a movie that guys will not enjoy. Just for experimentation, take along a guy and see what innovative things he will do to pass his time :P

The story of the film is not bad. Its like a fairy tale that kept me in a trance throughout the movie almost. Everything moves so fast, everything is so much like a fantasy...so much money that you do not think before buying a gucci or a prada...! man!
Ok anyway, so when I came out of the non-real air created rather well by the director, I started observing the performances.
Abhay Deol is always good! A tad bit too underused here though
Sonam Kapoor I would say, her expressions are same almost everytime. Don't think she could have pulled the movie for even a week, without the songs, the feeling of being in a fairy-tale all through the movie.
Infact, I liked the performance by Ira Bose. She was really good. Her dialogue delivery, her nakhras, latka jhatkas.
As for the story, Aisha is a matchmaker and a compulsive one at that. She would go to any extent to make the two she feels are soulmates come together and get married. As confused as she is, she takes it upon her to find a life partner for Shefali. Little does she realise that love, relationships are not made, they just happen.
The movie ends - happy ending and everything that was messed up by Aisha, is straightened out in less than a few minutes. All the characters in the movie (as pointed out by the guy who was so bored to death by the time the movie ended) do nothing but attend parties, shows etc and still keep saying that they are busy. Wonder where they get all those huge bags of money from :)
