Trade reports predict that the average box-office returns for "Aap Ki Khatir" that released Friday has cleared the path for bumper opening for the next big release. The film
starring Akshaye Khanna, Priyanka Chopra and Ameesha Patel is apparently a mish-mash of Hollywood fables.
The film is about a single woman who wants to make her ex-fiance jealous. It definitely draws from "The Wedding Date" starring Debra Messing, Dermot Mulroney with
smatterings from "My Big Fat Greek Weeding".
Director Dharmesh Darshan who re-packaged "Jab Jab Phool Khile" as "Raja Hindustani", "Caravan" as "Mela" and "Gumraah" as "Bewafaa" has gone international this time
in search of inspiration.
Akshaye, who is perhaps the most underrated actor in the industry, is the best part about the film. Here is man waiting for a role like "Munnabhai" to finally arrive. But then
again, aren't they all!
Aap Ki Khatir is a blatant copy
