Nice guys finish last and moreover nice guys sleep alone. In Ankert University, California a bespectacled geek named Abhay Sharma (Uday Chopra) is one such nice guy who's bonkers about the hottest chick on campus, Alisha (Priyanka Chopra).

More than his computer programs and MAC stores he thinks of her and yet remains hidden like a dormant program in her world. However, there is nothing wrong with Abhay per se, it's just like some of his gadgets he is not enough user friendly.

One day he musters up enough courage to go and express his true feelings to her but realises that it ain't gonna happen.

He comes to terms with the fact that Alisha is a princess and he is just a nerd. That is when their ways eventually part and he falls back to his second love- computers. Unlike his father (Anupam Kher) a PC fanatic, he is an Apple buff. But in seven solitary years away from Alisha he develops a software called Unity where the ardent fans of both the operating systems can unite on one computer.

But as fate would have it, a suave business shark Varun Sanghvi (Dino Morea) makes a copy of his application and sells it to a software house where Alisha is working now.

And it is Abhay's turn now to fight for what is rightfully his- Unity and Alisha. What ensues is his journey to establish the truth and making his 'Impossible Pyaar', possible.

There is nothing seriously wrong with the film except that it never totally exploits the ‘beauty and the geek' dichotomy and their eventual romance. Perhaps director Jugal Hansraj, literally a Yash Raj blue-eyed boy, got confused between making his film a geeky love story and triumph tale of an underdog.

Uday Chopra as a nerd delivers a decent performance. Priyanka Chopra, does a near perfect and some times over the top Rachel Green. She even walks talks and gesticulates like the Jennifer Aniston's famous FRIENDS character.

As they say, if at first you don't succeed; call it version 1.0. Though Pyaar Impossible has its heart at place, it lacks the desired punch. So for the moment, it seems getting a hit from Uday Chopra is just impossible. Only watch it for its simplicity and frothy feel.
