Review of Mere Jeevan Saathi

Akshaye Kumar plays yet another character who becomes a pop-star (as if we didn't see enough of that in Bewafaa) and tries to get on with his new way of life with his girlfriend (played by Amisha Patel). But he is plagued by constant attacks (while in India) by the camp of the people whose record deal he refused in favour of the one that made him a star. In short, he is being stalked and attacked by a rival record company. Due to a motorcycle accident, his girlfriend is unable to go to NYC with him, on his trip there to meet record label executives and you can just imagine that he will definitely meet another girl. If you are surprised by the fact that he meets another girl, then you don't know your Bollywood flicks! This other woman comes in the manner of Karishma Kapoor in the first vamp-ish role I've ever seen her in. She plays it with such an exaggerated swagger that you can't help but laugh at some points and cry at others. She's the sort of girl who is used to getting what she wants and the type of girl you love to hate. Upon meeting Akshaye's character, she is smitten and it turns out that she had a crush on him while in college but Akshaye never knew her. She was even very instrumental in making him a star, and over the years her love has grown into a dangerous obsession which Akshaye doesn't notice until too late. Anyhow, he sleeps with her, a major "No No" especially when dealing with the psychotic unstable types (see Shallini in Raaz and Priyanka in Aitraaz). . She follows him to India and begins to make life a living hell for him, all while Amisha's character doesn't suspect a thing, which was so unrealistic. The most surprising part of the film comes at the end when Akshaye does the unthinkable and you wouldn't wonder after this, why this film was a big flop at the box office. For those of you who were shocked when in Paheli, Rani Mukherjee's character got impregnated by SRK's ghost sperm. Well, SRK and Rani have been upstage with this film because in it, Akshaye marries a corpse and that's enough said!
