Radio Review(Nikhat Kazmi)




Radio jockey Vivan may be playing a love guru on a popular talk show but his personal relationships are in a mess. Traumatised by a recent divorce from his choreographer wife, Pooja, he finds it difficult to connect with Shania, the new girl in his life. Will love happen again?

Himesh Reshammiya tries to reinvent himself too. And there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, this new clean, casual avtar of his does seem to work better than the earlier showman-nish one, where the hairdo wasn't the only thing out of place. Himesh as Vivan, does seem to have found a better groove. It's just that this time round, it's the generation gap that creates a chasm.

The story that tries to talk about the relationship rigmaroles of the Facebook GenXers doesn't seem to be tailor made for an e-wary Himesh. It just is a bit too young with its FB terminology and its twenty-something heroine (Shenaz Treasurywala) who has a penchant for updating her status on the social network, whenever she's not making eyes at her colleague. So, naturally all this spiel about `commitment', `closure' and a `complicated' relationship status does end up as awkward and odd from someone who would have outgrown FB, Orkut, MySpace years ago.
