 Geeky Abhay Sharma (Uday Chopra) is in love with the hottest girl in
his college, Alisha Merchant (Priyanka Chopra) while studying in
California. While he keeps day dreaming about her, she doesn’t even
know his name or acknowledge his presence. One late night he even saves
her from drowning but despite that he doesn’t get a word of thanks in
return since she decides to leave the college the very next morning and
returns back to her father in India. Seven years pass by and Abhay
still continues to nurse his huge crush on Alisha. Meanwhile, he gets
cheated by the hands of a smooth talking businessman Siddhu (Dino
Morea) who robs his developed path breaking software.
But after motivated by his father (Anupam Kher) Abhay goes in search
of Siddhu to Singapore where he is supposedly based. But to his
surprise he sees Alisha working as the PR and Marketing Head of the
very same company where Siddhu is trying to sell of his software,
passing off as his own for a multi million deal. When Abhay goes on
following Alisha to her house he learns that she is now a divorced
single mother. Alisha however, mistakes him to be a male nanny for her
daughter. But Abhay keeps quiet and continues to work as a male nanny
in her house as it actually gives him a chance to share moments with
the girl he has been dreaming for so many years. What happens when
Abhay learns Alisha is falling for Siddhu whose real name is Varun and
how he manages to extract revenge for the cheating done to him, forms
the rest of the plot.
In his second directorial venture, following the entertaining
animated film, Roadside Romeo, Jugal Hansraj shows good technical
finesse. But with the screenplay written by Uday Chopra himself, being
the weak link, the film fails to achieve the status of an ideal date
flick. There is not much novelty in the subject. One can actually guess
the graph of the story as to how it will proceed. While there are few
good comic moments like the dinner sequence at Priyanka’s house or the
torturous first day for Uday playing a male nanny and also some really
wonderful lines, the film loses steam with its predictability factor.
While nothing much happens in the film’s first half, the second half
presents things that don’t really take you by surprise. The climax is
too tame as well.
Underplaying to the hilt, Uday is very endearing in his geek act.
Priyanka looks absolutely stunning and carried her self well for a role
ranging from playing a hot bubblegum college gal to a single working
mother. Mostly presented in suits or jackets, a dashing looking Dino
Morea is very impressive enacting a suave villain. Anupam Kher playing
Uday’s equally geeky father is good as usual. The little girl playing
Priyanka’s daughter is cute and likeable. Rahul Vohra playing
Priyanka’s boss fits the part.
Salim Sulaiman’s music fits the mood of the film perfectly and the
songs have been very well picturised including the school rock number
performed on screen by the girl playing Priyanka’s daughter.
Cinematography is of international standards by Santosh Thundiyil.
Many Hollywood films have come with a similar theme as that of Pyaar
Impossible and if the film is targeted at the youngsters, then there
are chances many of them must have already seen them. So, despite good
performances by the entire cast and some really well penned sequences,
Pyaar Impossible ends being just an average watch. Watch it if you have
nothing else to do.
