Main Meri Patni Aur Woh!

With a schedule for all the 7 days a week these days, guess there is nothing called weekend for me.However just to have a difference on a Sunday, managed to watch 'Main Meri Patni Aur Woh!' at PVR Naraina - my first at a PVR theatre.I have heard that the PVR theatres maintain a very good standard and found for myself that it is true.Every person is frisked by the security personnel at the entrance - have not seen this before in any cinema hall,and the theatre was having quite a posh and clean look.All these standards and everything anyway comes at a cost - ticket and all the eatables are pretty dearer in comparison to other theatres. In our case the ticket was Rs.125.

Anyways, as far as the movie - MMPAW is concerned, I must say it wasn't boring and it wasn't a great fun either.The comedian Rajpal Yadhav is in the lead for the first time, for it seems the story is his own real life, wherein his wife is quite taller and prettier than him.He has done his part very well - can't think of any improvisation for his role.Rituparna Sengupta as his wife was quite brilliant in her role and she sparkles with her pleasant naturalness.The story however is not that brand new. Its all about a college Librarian who marries late owing to his family commitments.Though he is not interested in marriage, his mom compels him to consider certain alliances.He hesitatingly accepts and goes to Bareilly for seeing the first bride on the list. Like our hero the girl was also nearing 30 and she has also avoided marriage for some time.Though he is quite shy and not keen about the alliance,on seeing the girl, he gets clean bowled by her looks & exuberance. Her charm and friendly nature enslaves him during their first private talk and he couldn't do anything but happily accept for the marriage.

Post marriage, he develops certain doubts and apprehensions about his wife,as a close male-friend of hers who visits her often and who in Rajpal's eyes is quite smart as he is an UK return and he happens to be close to his boss at the University.Rajpal's doubts get bigger and serious and he even starts following her wife closely without her knowledge. When things reach a peak, he reveals his concerns to his wife during a dinner and suggests that she can divorce him if need be.As she only had a good friendship with that guy from UK, she couldn't digest his concerns and goes back to her home in Bareily.Rajpal later realises that his fears were unreal and so after a moving confession to his wife about his mistake, convinces her which is obviously brings us to the end of the movie.

The first half was quite good and refreshing but the second half was kind of hollow and looks to be over-stretched.Overall it was okay. A good break to remind me that was Sunday !
