Pal Pal Dil Ke Saath!

Pal Pal Dil Ke Saath Directed and written by V V Kumar, ‘Pal Pal Dil Ke Saath’ is really a box office dud, which completely lacks coherence, logic, reason and most importantly interesting cast.

The film, which stars Ajay Jadeja, Mahi Gill, Satish Shah, Sushma Seth, Vinod Kambli, Sylvie, has absolutely no originality, either in content or in presentation.

Produced under Sukra Arts banner, Pal Pal Dil Ke Saath lacks the basic ethics, and is full of random shots, random scenes, random dialogues and random acting as well.

Given that this is his second film innings, Jadeja cannot even plead innocence in this Pal Pal… case.

Here’s an indication:  one of the truly original touches in this movie is the double role played by Sylvie, who is the celebrity hairstylist who was earlier Dr Sylvester Rodgers.

In the film she is, playing Sylvester (with a ponytail), Sylvie (with frizzy blonde hair), and — this is a bonus — Sylvie’s ghost in a lacy white dress (with ditto hair).

What does this have to do with the story? Not much, in fact.

Jadeja has an enormously ordinary screen presence, Mahi Gill grins nauseatingly, Sushma Seth screeches all the time, Satish Shah overacts awfully and you don’t need to know about the other players in the film.

Apart from Vinod Kambli, who in reality turns in the most controlled performance? Yes, that’s how terrible it is.

From the styling appearances, the film looks dated and that possibly explains the cause for Mahie Gill's presence. Luckily for her, this was not her first release.

DEV D has already set a benchmark for her talent, followed by GULAAL.
