Kuch Naa Kaho

Rohan Sippy's Kuch Naa Kaho is makers organised a special screening for the film industry and the media at a suburban theatre in Mumbai.

Raj [Abhishek Bachchan] lives in New York with his mother, Dr. Malhotra [Suhasini Mulay]. There is one issue they can't see eye to eye on: His mother wants him to settle down… Raj won't hear of an arranged marriage.

When Raj visits India for his cousin's wedding, his maternal uncle [Satish Shah] emotionally blackmails him into agreeing to meet some eligible girls. To make matters worse, the person his uncle chooses as the matchmaker and go-between for these meetings is the same person Raj has already antagonised earlier.

That person is Namrata [Aishwarya Rai], an employee of Raj's uncle. After a series of meetings with potential brides, it becomes apparent to Namrata that finding a match for this particular suitor is not only a nightmare, but an exercise in futility.

The other high points in the film are good camerawork and good choreography. About the performances, Suhasini Mulay plays her 'not so typical' mother role with dignity while the little boy tugs at your heartstrings every time he comes on the scene with Abhishek Bachchan. Aishwarya Rai distracts you by her looks than her histrionics. As for Aby's B, he plays Raj with the right amount of candour and sensitivity, note all the scenes with Aditya or even the one with his mother when he justifies his decision to marry Namrata. Sadly, he doesn't really burn up the scene with Aishwarya Rai, the chemistry is missing.

The movie has some catchy music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. The soundtrack evokes more emotion than the script.

Kuch Na Kaho - Well, this is what Anil Kapoor sang to Manisha Koirala in 1942 - A Love Story. Rohan Sippy borrows this for the title of his debut film. The title song is pretty lively with quite a vibrant feeling about it. The sunflower effect does make it's impact, and add to it the ravishing Ash and charming Abhishek and you have got a winner in hand. The music is immediately catchy and the whistling by Shankar himself should be popular soon. A good track !!!

For a debut, Sippy shows a certain sincerity in telling a plausible tale. What’s also welcome is that he steers clear of his father Ramesh Sippy’s style (though there are times when he veers towards the Chopra-Johar mould). Among the highlights, the credits are announced in a rather creative manner, and V Manikandan’s cinematography is appealing.If anything, Abhishek stands out, displaying good timing and maturity.

On the whole, It is an inconsistent entertainer. But it has good music, snazzy camerawork, clean humour and decent performances.
