A couple navigates the ups and downs of romance and imminent parenthood while setting up house in a new land in this Bollywood romantic comedy. Nikhil Arora (Saif Ali Khan), known to most of his friends as Nick, is a successful chef who has become something of a celebrity, with a following in Australia. Nick agrees to appear on a radio show hosted by Ambar Malhotra (Preity Zinta), an attractive woman who is finishing up her college degree, but working out the arrangements proves difficult, and by the time they meet face to face, Nick and Ambar have already exchanged a number of harsh words. When the two actually walk into the studio together, they feel a strong mutual attraction, but given their history, neither is sure if they should trust their feelings. After several dates, Nick makes a proposal -- he is going to Melbourne for a year, and if Ambar wants to join him, they can see if they could get along living under the same roof. Ambar agrees, but before long she has some surprising news for Nick -- she's pregnant with his baby, a prospect that does not make him happy. As the two face the reality of their situation as parents-to-be, Nick wonders if he's ready to give up the bachelor's life he's long enjoyed, and Ambar struggles to adjust to life down under. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    okay, okay - its YADER (Yet Another DEsi Remake) of a popular hollywood movie. But hey - nothing succeeds like success - right? What works: Saif's cockiness, Arshad's henpecked expression, Javed's pidgin English (Edjactly) and his skimpily-outfitted wifey ;) and - of course - Preity's oh-so-cute dimples. What doesn't work: Some of the shouting matches in Saif and Preity's worsening relationship come off stiff and scripted. I think the mood of most of the movie is so light that they never can adjust to the serious scenes very well. Overall: 4/5. Parting Shot: Wifey - what do I say about good Desi comedy movies? edjactly. Adds it to the queues.
