    Aisha

    Reviewed by

    I mostly love films with a purpose and depth to them. But every once in a while comes a flick with a relaxed tone and an oft repeated story that still knocks the socks off me. Aisha is such a product. Looks to me like the makers had tons of fun, cause I sure did watching it. Featuring a pitch perfect ensemble cast led by the winsome and pretty Sonam Kapoor, Aisha is a tribute to Jane Austen's Emma, but twenty-first century affluent Indians' style. There's little nouveau about the tale, but the performances, screenplay, dialogues, cinematography, music, editing, direction and choreography all weave together in perfect tandem. I'm not kidding; I thought all these departments came up with an awesome team effort. Each scene is a pleasure to watch. Moreover, the flick doesn't take itself seriously, which was great for me, cause I'm frankly a little tired of the countless Hindi films that purport to be "the Love Story of a Lifetime". Hey people, not every movie has to be Romeo & Juliet or Ek Dujjhe que Liye. Bonus for those of us weary of the traditional high volume Bollywood drama. Even when the heroine goes off on a cringe-inducing lengthy monologue about life and her one true love for the climax, we know we're watching a comedy. The director quickly reminds us courtesy a great twist at the end of the scene. Speaking of which, Rajshree Ojha is a great find. Hope she strikes it big cause she definitely deserves the success.
