**** NO SPOILER ALERT! **************
The story is well told. since it is complicated they have divided it into chapter's. They give you a feeling of infinity...from chapter 1 to chapter infinity. Kill Bill had got inspired from this...these bloody Hollywood directors! All the chapters have unique names with a rubberstamp of "ITS COMPLICATED". Really innovative names like Encounter and Kadhi, Mera Denial Mode, Karwachauth Ke Light aur Kurma. Well, I was impressed! Bollywood ( I hate to call it this! ) has come a long way...
The Story starts with Himess the world famous in Borivali RJ getting a divorce with Pooja. Himesh is kind of LOVE GURU advising people about their love life. One thing about the movie is that it is too emotional. I cried right in the first scene! What an acting! Himess aka
Diwan shah fits the role perfectly .Young, Famous and Restless. He separates with Pooja and a new girl comes in his empty RJ life. The new girl is Shanaya ( If u remember MTV select ! ) She hates him at first....well, who wouldn't....and then falls in love with him....well, who wouldn't..I HAVE !
Even her sister asks her.."TUMNE USMEIN KYA DEKHA?"
She introduces him to FACEBOOK, LAPTOP, APPLE, iPhone and what not. ( This movie is for hip youngsters ONLY!) She spends most of her time in CCD ( Infy guys dont mix it with our CCD!). Ultimately she becomes the "Mystery girl" who is a part of Himesses show. The show becomes a HIT with revenues more than the budget of this film (abt 10 Crs...i would have made this film in Rs 10)
Himess becomes more popular than ever. People flock him to get his autographs.
But himess has bigger dreams! to be a singer...apparently shanaya is also a part time singer...ahh great naaa. She sings with him. She also takes him to her house n introduces him to her Punjabi Father and Parsi mother and skimpily dressed to-be Saali. Himesh shows his softer side by accepting them and repairing their DISH ANTENNA atleast 21 times. Her family wants himess as their DAMAD...whenever he gets into Shanaya's house a song DAMADJI starts playing.If i ever get married...if i ever have a child if i ever have a second child if she/he ever grows...i would like to have Himessss as my "Damad" i.e. Son-in-laaa
Now here is the TWIST. Pooja is a choreographer and is as usual in trouble. Himess again falls for her...Such a lovely lady. I always wondered why did these two girls act in this movie! Could it be
as the saying goes in Colorado "washing your ass off in holy colorado river" equivalent to "behti Ganga mein haath dhona"? Could be! He tries to help Pooja.
While helping Pooja he gets streched between these two dames! Some luck here ! Now the radio station decides to reveal this "MYSTERY girl" and induct Shanaya as a full time RJ. Here comes the famous dialogue "What is your relationship status?" Himess replies "ITS COMPLICATED!". This scene goes down in time of Indian cinema. They reveal Shanaya and the story turns.She refuses to do another show in turn pissing off the producers. They call Shanaya a selfish *itch (where * stands for B or W).Himess becomes emotional and hits the producer. I would have done the same thing. i.e. Hit himess.
The story ends with Himess becoming the damad! and the live happily ever after!
I missed the most important part. The funniest part JLT i.e. Jandu Lal Tyagi. He too is an RJ ...he calls people and asks them stupid meaningless questions! I was just holding my bowels, it was that funny!
Songs are another highlight. He paid an homage to his previous film KARZ by these lines from his song MANN KA RADIO : "Kya khoya kya payaaa ispe rona tu chodd dee"! This film already ranks amongst the legends! The most good thing about this movie is it discourages piracy. I had to search for an original copy since no one was willing to waste a DVD!
