Review of Paheli

Paheli (2005)
6/10
Indian fairy tale
10 July 2005
I went to watch Paheli only because of the fact that an art director like Amol Palekar, had signed commercially hit pair Rani Mukherjee and Shahrukh Khan, attempting a kind of story never told before. I was not disappointed after watching a movie. Though songs had hindered the already slow pace of the movie but it is still alright.

Its a love story involving a girl and a soul. The story is interesting in the first half but the second half seems to be half baked. The climax could have been better. Besides good performance of Shahrukh Khan and Rani Mukherjee, Rajpal Yadav and Anupam Kher have acted well. Amitabh has just a guest appearance and he does his part of the job quite well. Sunil Shetty has no scope in the movie. Juhi Chawla has got very few dialogues to say.

There are few interesting moments in the story but the movie wont appeal to everyone. Some will like it, some will discard it but overall its not a bad movie at all.
