Cast: Himesh Reshammiya, Hansika Motwani, Mallika Sherawat.
Direction: Prashant Chadha
Aap Kaa Surroor marks the acting debut of singer-composer Himesh Reshammiya. The film directed by Prashant Chadha stars Himesh as himself, a singing sensation from India who's currently in Germany on a concert tour.
While in Germany, Himesh is accused of murdering a television journalist and as a result, he is arrested by the local police. Meanwhile, he's also fallen for a pretty young girl who’s handling his events schedule, and surprise surprise, she seems to return the sentiment.
But now that he's been charged with murder, her daddy won't allow her to have anything to do with this singing-dancing criminal. For Himesh, or HR as he's affectionately referred to in the film, there's only one thing left to do: he must prove his innocence, and win back his ladylove.
The problem with Aap Kaa Surroor is that it takes itself way too seriously. And that's a problem because you and me and everyone in the audience isn't exactly taking this film too seriously.
I think we see this film as the result of one man's misplaced sense of self-importance, even as an indulgence on the part of Himesh. Which is why it's absolutely hilarious to see him all shaven chest, dressed in shirts with plunging necklines, serenading the heroine like a 21-year-old chocolate hero.
That scene in which he meets the heroine for the first time will go down in film history as one of the stupidest boy-meets-girl scenes.
Never before has the Gayatri Mantra been used more inappropriately than in Aap Kaa Surroor, in which it's used as background score, a mobile ringtone, and even a pop tune that Himesh belts out on his guitar.
All blame for this nonsense must be directed towards the screenplay which is cliched, unimaginative and amateurish to say the least. When the writers can't come up with an original enough idea to show why the heroine starts falling for Himesh, they shamelessly throw in a little orphan girl with a terminal illness, who Himesh predictably treats like an angel.
As for that scene in which the heroine says she's the luckiest girl in the world because she's managed to take a picture of Himesh flashing his elusive smile, I have to say it's more a gaping-mouthed jackass-like laughter which is now captured on camera for posterity.
