Kismat Konnection (2008)
Out of work and
out of luck architect Raj decides to seek the advice of a
fortune-teller to turn his fate around. She tells him he needs to
find a lucky charm, and to his dismay it is the outspoken human
rights activist Priya, a girl he had bumped into accidentally. He
soon observes that just like the fortune-teller said, every time
Priya is in his life, his luck changes for the better, even landing
him the chance to have his proposal for a massive shopping mall taken
seriously. But when he lies to Priya in order for her to help him,
will everything work out?
*This
movie was funny more because it took itself too seriously at times,
in addition to genuine humor. I didn't like all the musical numbers,
and the whole film takes place in Canada (not exactly exotic for
American viewers), but it is a great example of a classic Bollywood
romantic comedy – as in lots of romantic, longing looks and
meaningful hugs, but NO KISSING. Might watch again.*
