I never thought..

I never thought that I'll watch this movie. But yesterday night I did watch it. Socha Na Tha. And I don't regret that I did.
It's a cute movie, a comedy of confusions. The hero loves a Christian girl but can't tell that to the girl or his family. His father insists on marriage. He goes to see the girl and tells her about his love and they decide to say no to marriage. But the catch is that the girl's sister sees them wishing each other luck and thinks that they are holding hands and assumes that they will marry. But when the boy refuses, what ensues is a mafia type clash between the families. All these is hilarious. Then the guy asks the girl to come to Goa with his group and see if his girlfriend loves him. More fun. After they return, he proposes to his girlfriend and to her father. Everything is set.
But our hero here is confused. He doesn't know whom he loves, his girlfriend or Ayesha (Takia). Finally he goes to her place and proclaims his love for her and on returning finds that is father has come round after a bit of cajoling by his sister-in-law (the other Ayesha, Jhulka) and his girlfriend's family is at his place.
More confusion follows and eventually he runs away to find that the herione's family have setup another guy for her and comes back home later. Then there is another twist in the tale. No, I'll not reveal it here. If you want to know, better watch the movie.
With its tounge-in-cheek dialouges, the movie raises a lot of laughs, specially in the first half. Both the hero and the herione are good, the good thing is that both have michief in their eyes which suits their characters.
On the whole, an enjoyable movie, eventhough the script gets a bit stupid at times.
