Directed, compiled by Ali Abbas Zafar.With: Imran Khan, Katrina Kaif, Ali Zafar, Tara D'Souza, Kanwaljit Singh, Parikishat Sahni, Arfeen Kahn. (Hindi, British dialogue)Engaging leads, high-finish production values, wedding formulations, energetic musical amounts along with a familiar story should ensure healthy biz for "Mere brother ki dulhan," a light-weight, unambitious three-way romantic comedy whose utter of a routine might be its finest resource. Occasions are telegraphed in the start (the title, which means "My Brother's Bride," is really a dead giveaway) as our hero, requested by his London-based bro to locate him an Indian bride, falls on her themself. Audiences only need wait for a figures to trap as much as what auds know, then relax watching them learn how to accomplish it. An assistant film director in Mumbai, Kush (Imran Khan, as charmingly sane and laid-back quite the hero because he is at "Dehli Belly") gets to be a frantic telephone call from his investment-banker brother, Luv (Pakistani "prince of pop" and rising Bollywood star Ali Zafar, excellent here). Luv, that has just significantly split up with longtime g.f. Piali (Tara D'Souza) within the pic's explosive London opener, begs Kush to snag him a bride. Tyro author-director Ali Abbas Zafar (no regards to his star Ali Zafar) sensibly includes a few Kush's noisy, drunken co-employees and merely enough fancy, strobe-lit Bollywood party footage to achieve a saturation point making Kush's move to his traditional upper-middle-class home town feel welcome. An immediate montage of unattractive potential fiancees, seen alongside their cringe-inducing parents, substitutes for just about any better-developed comedy until Kush includes a brainstorm and they resort to advertising. His positioning of the clever matrimonial ad about the back page of the newspaper produces an ideal lady, Cavities Dixit (Katrina Kaif), the daughter of the high-placed diplomat. The only issue is the fact that Kush has experienced a romantically billed (if unconsummated) encounter with Cavities, performed in flashback from the coldly symbolic backdrop from the Taj Mahal -- an interlude that happened many years earlier, throughout Dimples' version like a high-octane rocker. The generally competent Kaif, equally sexy in most her various wardrobe-appropriate guises, shows the stress of maintaining her wild-and-crazy persona when given nothing zanier to complete than get inebriated and dangle her bags before Kush's face as they is attempting to navigate a new scooter. But credible chemistry finally unites the pair, Dimples' harebrained impetuousness contrasting nicely with Kush's taken into consideration weighing of options. Helmer-scripter Zafar keeps it simple. Though superficial moral conundrums abound, there's nary a villain around the corner to complicate the lovers' ultimate victory. Indeed, the film even conscripts Dimples' quasi-autistic brother (Arfeen Kahn) to experience Cupid. Tech credits are top-drawer, as is appropriate for a Yash Raj production.Camera (color, widescreen), Sudeep Chatterjee editor, Ritesh Soni music, Sohail Sen lyrics, Irshad Kamil production designer, Shruti Gupte costume designers, Rocky S., Harmeet Sethi, Neha Bhatnagar seem (Dolby Digital), Debasish Mishra line producer, Padam Bhushan choreographer, Bosco-Caesar.
