Oh, now how are we expected to digest Arav ignoring this fact? Accepted that he fis orced to marry by his 'zabaan ke pakke' parents who had given a 'vachan' to Kajal's granny. The fact is bigger than that as this girl was also married to Arav just 3 years back. Ironically though everyone in the auditorium remembered that the girl in the first frame would have turned into Priyanka Chopra by now and waiting for him in a Himachal Pradesh small town. Game, set, match for Arav who conveniently forgets that he has a past. No issue as a couple of scenes later, her identity is disclosed by the grandfather who proposes to get them both engaged. All this while Arav is unaware about Anna's true identity and soon sees himself falling in love with her. Some cliched moments later, he gets a job at nothing less than BMW chaired by Shakti Kapoor, who also happens to be Anna's grandfather. But this doesn't necessarily result in reciprocation by Arav as he is a car designer and is busy working on his dream to get his BIG break. Soon enters sweet'n'sexy Anna who falls in love with him at their very first encounter. You know at this very moment that the man is none other than the young boy shown in the first frame. Scene 2 and you have Bobby Deol as Arav Kappor on the frame who is fast minting money in the USA. The movie begins with a young boy and a girl cycling in the rain and enjoying their moments together. But alas, that's not the case with 'Barsaat' as the story of the film is so predictable and the execution such ultra-dramatic that you want to tear your hair in frustration, especially in the second half. Why not? After all producer-director Suneel Darshan is the man behind one of the most successful film of recent times - Andaaz - and carries a strong reputation of coming up with family dramas that have touched Indian hearts.
Much was expected from this Bobby Deol, Bipasha Basu, Priyanka Chopra starrer. No, filmmakers don't have any rights to subject this to Bollywood fans time and again! That's the feeling you get half through the screening of a 'cliched love story' called 'Barsaat' that was tagged as a 'sublime story story'.
