Releasing a movie at the right time is fast becoming a real strategic decision similar to the decision that a Formula One team needs to make regarding a pit stop. Aap ki Khatir should see a decent opening thanks to being one of the very few movies to release this week and only big multi starrer.

The movie however is not that great. There is nothing much to write home about the movie except for Anupam Kher’s role which brings in a little bit of comic relief. The movie starts off with an attempt to recreate the chemistry that Saif and Rani shared in Hum Tum during their flight between Priyanka Chopra and Akshaye Khanna. The attempt is a total failure and puts the viewer to a lot of pain in the first 45 minutes. Add to this a very poorly sketched role for Sunil Shetty and even worse dialogues and the first hour of the movie makes you regret walking into the theatre.

The solace is that the first hour is so bad that the rest of the movie looks much better icomparisonon and helps you leave the film hall in a decent mood. The storyline is nothing great. Akshaye Khanna and Priyanka Chopra are colleagues and the former doubles up as a male escort as well. Priyanka hires him to take him to London with a view to make her ex boy friend (Dino Morea) who deserted her at the marriage altar jealous. The catch here is that the reason for him deserting her involves her step sister Amisha Patel, whose wedding with Suniel Shetty Priyanka and Akshaye are attending. Interesting plot isn't it.The movie also has Amisha Patel and a Kaun Kiska cousin trying to doBritishish accent which only adds to the pain of the viewer.

The best thing about the movie is the foot tapping music belted out by Himesh Reshammiya. All the songs are real good and are sure to be chart toppers. Watch the movie only if you have nothing to do at all. You are better off waiting for it to be aired on TV.
