The story is set in Palanpur, Rajeshwari (Tabu) stays in quite a huge house with her husband and her two children. Very careful with money, talkative and does what she feels and believes is right.
Even if she does something wrong she convinces people around her and herself that it is meant to be for the good of everyone. The setting is old, thinking is small and village like, wives, women are overpowering characters, husbands look henpecked and everything is laidback.
Dressed in salwar kameez with deep necks showing off her color bone and cleavage, Tabu plays a concerned woman who is hell bent on finding a right man for her sister, she bulldozes Sharman Joshi into her house and creates a perfect setting for him and her sister Uvika Chaudhary to fall in love. When the invitation cards are getting ready she bumps into another guy who is financially better off then Sharman, she plots and haves the latter off from her house and quickly arranges for a wedding.
Now when the husband asks Rajeshwari, if in case she finds a better person then the second guy, will she dump him too? Yes is the answer, yeh sab apni behen ki bhale ke liye hai. While Sharman is flummoxed, the sister is speechless arrangements for the wedding are quickly made. So far, that is the first part is interesting with Tabu's non stop prattle but the drama slows down post interval. The focus moves to Sharman Joshi and his umpteen plans to ruin the marriage, the script gets very predictable.
The scenes, the dialogues between Tabu and her neighbours is just another episode of a soap, but watch out for Tabu's expression when someone carries a huge gift to her sister's wedding, it's the same one that she had been gifted and had circulated it to someone else. Very few songs, Tabu dominates and takes away the focus from the story but the interest wanes after sometime when the usual noise at the shaadi takes over.
Not a rivetting film, but you might like it if you are those types who'd enjoy slow, gentle, pleasant movies with no heavy drama baazi.
Sharman Joshi's does fine work but his character is poorly etched in the latter half. The director could have put in more effort in the latter half of the script, result: you want to leave the theatre half an hour before the film ends. Uvika Chaudhary is charming, Tabu shines in the first half and bores in the latter as the film loses steam.
