What’s your Raashee?

Lead actors: Harman Baweja, Priyanka chopra (in 12 roles)
Director: Ashutosh Gowariker
Music: Sohail Sen

The film is about Yogesh Patel (played by Harman), who has to look for a suitable girl to get married to in a matter of days to get his family out of financial troubles. Having read a book on the zodiac signs, he decides to meet one girl belonging to each sign (played by Priyanka) to look for an appropriate life-partner.

Priyanka gives a commendable performance. She gets into the skin of each character and portrays them with ease. Never during the whole length of the movie did I feel that it was the same person in different attires. Priyanka more than manages to create a unique impression about each girl she represents. Harman plays his part aptly as the confused lad who is bowled over by most of the girls he meets.

Another impressive thing about the movie is that although Priyanka renders so many roles, she does not dominate the screen space and perfectly complements Harman’s role.

Of the 12 girls who were supposed to represent their zodiac signs, a couple of them were shown in poor light. This is totally justified when it comes to the script of the movie- to eliminate some probable matches for Yogesh, but it might hurt the viewers of those zodiac signs a wee bit.

The length of the movie is bothersome and some scenes involving goons and Yogesh’s uncle are hardly funny and the film could do without them.

As for the music, from the whopping number of songs in the movie (13 songs!), I found some to be mediocre, some were peppy and watch able and I was smitten by only one song- ‘Bikhri Bikhri’- which is slow and mellifluous.

Verdict: What’s your Rashee? can be watched once.
My Rating: 2/5
