PYAAR MEIN TWIST – age no bar when it comes to love

Rating:- * *

PYAAR MEIN TWIST tells the story of two individuals -- not remotely associated with one other -- who decide to spend the rest of their lives together. Both are mature and already married. How their grown up kids react to the new development. Perhaps we have seen a movie on these lines earlier too? “Hamare Tumhare” and “Mere bachche, Hamare bachhe”

He was the best dad, the best boss, the best friend, the best tycoon. He could control destinies, he could control industries. Till he met Sheetal Arya [Dimple Kapadia] and then he had no control over his heart.

Their families could not understand.They were worried, why, they were angry too. But for Sheetal and Yash, age was no bar…

The film interests you because it makes a sincere attempt to look at those who may've crossed their prime as far as age is concerned, but continue to be young at heart.

The narrative works primarily because the focus is on the elders [Rishi, Dimple], while the youngsters [Soha Ali Khan, Vikas Bhalla, Samir Dattani], even though they're a part of the film, are relegated to the backseat. It's not the usual boy meets girl saga, but about two mature individuals finding a soulmate at a latter stage in life.

Although the film if fairly loaded with entertaining situations, yet there is scope for trimming here & there.

Since it is a film revolving around a late marriage, drawing parallels with Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles' marriage makes lot of sense. The dialogues, also penned by Sushmaa, are gems. Music [Jatin-Lalit] is passable. Only 'Pal Tham Gaya Hai', repeated several times in the film, is one track that stands out. 'Khullam Khulla Pyar Karenge', from Rishi's earlier film, comes at the right time.

Both Rishi and Dimple take the film to dizzy heights. The two actors get equal footage and deliver sparkling performances. Rishi is in complete form, while Dimple not only looks gorgeous, but acts very well too. Soha and Sammir are mere gap fillers. Vikas Bhalla does well in the outburst sequence.

Farida Jalal is another actor who stands out. She excels. Deepshikha is effective. Satish Shah, Kishori Shahane, Dolly Minhas and Delnaz Paul are adequate.
