Complicated quadrangle
Jhoom Barabar Jhoom
Busy London station. Delayed train from
Birmingham. Two strangers waiting for the train... Rikki Thukral (Abhishek
Bachchan) born in Bhatinda, living in London; and Alvira Khan (Preity
Zinta) more Brit than the Queen herself, however with Lahori blood in
her veins.
Crowded cafe. One table to share. Two hours to kill. Perfect setting
for the start of a love-story. Hitch?
Both Rikki and Alvira are engaged and have come to pick up their fiances
who are coming by the same train. To kill time, they end up telling each
other their "how I met my fiance" stories.
Rikki met his fiance Anaida (Lara Dutta) at The Ritz (Paris), the
same night that Princess Diana and Dodi walked out of the hotel and into
the paparazzi. As Rikki says, "When two lovers die, another two are
born." They dance... they sing... they're in love! Alvira, a princess by
nature discovers her prince at Madame Tussaud's.
When a gigantic wax model of Superman falls from the ceiling. Alvira
is a sitting target. But Steve the Prince (Bobby Deol), a lawyer by
profession saves her life but steals her heart! They also sing, they
also dance and they also fall in love...
Stories
unfold, time passes, the two strangers start enjoying each other. The
Alvira is a Pakistani Brit and Rikki originally from India... that Rikki
is crooked, earthy, and rakish: dabbler in various businesses; that
Alvira is prim-n-proper, wannabe blue-blood, stiff upper-lip. Asst
Manager at House of Fraser's... none of these details matter. They have
gotten alarmingly attracted to each other!
Their brief encounter has created a complicated quadrangle... Rikki
Thukral and Alvira Khan have gotten themselves and Steve and Anaida into
a lovely mess... To get out of it both of them bend over backward,
thinking quickly on their feet, dancing around each other's emotions...
After all when you're playing musical chairs with love, there's nothing
you can do but Jhoom Barabar Jhoom (Dance Baby Dance)!
The Hindi movie will be screened from June 15 at EAP theatres
islandwide.
