Movie review: I me aur Main - a lazy attempt by Director

What the debutant director Kapil Sharma would have thought while making ‘I me aur main', a family drama, romance saga or an inspirational movie?. Hard to judge his mindset but one thing is clear that he has come out with a such a drama which will test your patience while you are seated in a two hours run time torture session.The story starts off with Ishaan (John Abraham) who is selfish, overconfident and loves himself a lot. He shares his Girlfriend Anushka's (Chitrangada Singh) apartment who tolerates all her silly kiddish attitudes just because she loves him and believes that he will change by time. But John is in his own world. He parties with friends, has no goal, never shares a single penny for Apartment maintanence.One night his linear attitude throws him out of the Apartment and he finds a space in neighbor Gauri's house. Enters Prachi Desai! So, will she also bear the same selfish attitude which John's ex did. Find it out or recommended not to go for it.Seems like Director has also taken a linear attitude towards making the flick like John's character. The plot was well established but it takes again the very predictable turn in the end. The Oh so happy ending. The script seems speckled everywhere and it gets a bit crazy towards the latter half. The sudden change of the characters is unacceptable as they speak a certain way and behave in a completely contrasting manner, almost out of character. Gauri's stable nature takes a flighty turn when she goes into the bit about moving to Paris, Anushka's speech of life makes absolutely no sense given the path the story has taken so far, Ishaan's mum who decides to leave her husband forever, goes back to the him overnight and Ishaan's sudden change of heart in matters of the heart make him look even more selfish.Director Kapil Sharma even though it is a sincere effort on his part, the screenplay does not fit to the principle of its lead character being a man-child – it does not have the required depth to take the story or the players' parts forward in its narrative and ends at disappointing note.John Abraham disappoints this time. His characters he lazy enough to bring a lazy work out of him.Chitrangada Singh, as always loos seductress, puts on a great show of beauty and talent.Prachi Desai as the spunky girl next door acquires an extra mark. Her portrayal of Gauri is real and seems effortless with the ease she essays it. Zarina Wahab is excellent as the mum. Mini Mathur, who is director Kabir Khan's wife, makes her acting debut in the film and does well.But overall it's not recommended to waste your penny on this melodrama. Rather spend you weekend resting at home.
