Review
Dil Vil Pyar Vyar has four love stories that are interwoven together in an interesting way. To boot are the evergreen songs of
yesteryears, set to tune by none other than the legendary music director late R.D. Burman.
The first story revolves around Krish (R. Madhavan) and Raksha (Namrata Shirodkar), two aspiring singers who want to make it big in
the showbiz industry. The two are happily married and want to stay together on their course to the world of razzmatazz.
Their relationship, however, is poisoned by ego, pride and insecurity after Raksha meets success ahead of Krish. Their marital bliss
is broken and the once-happily-married couple is forced to part ways.
The second love story is centered on a widower Dev (Sanjay Suri) who has led an aloof life ever since his wife Payal (Dipannita
Sharma) died soon after their honeymoon.
Along with his sister Rachna (Bhavna Pani), Dev moves from Pune to Mumbai where he meets Gauri (Sonali Kulkarni), who lives with her
mentally retarded brother Gaurav (Rakesh Bapat).
Dev and Gauri fall for each other but keep their distance, as the shadow of Gaurav's illness looms large over their foundling
relationship. On the other hand, there sprouts the third love story between Dev’s sister Rachna and Gauri’s brother Gaurav.
The fourth love story is the story of a multi-millionaire Hrithik (Jimmy Shergill) and a simple girl Jojo (Hrishitaa Bhatt). Although
both their families want them married Jojo doesn’t want to wed Hrithik until he has earned his name independent of his parent’s
credentials.
Director Anant Mahadevan's intricately weaves the three stories and draws them to the singular climax.
The film, although an experimental attempt, fails to impress due to a strong dose of mush. Besides, the performances by the film’s
cast (barring Namrata) are plain mediocre.
Namrata, who has had the experience of working with talented directors in Bollywood, shows her mettle and proves that she is an
actress worth her salt.
In a nutshell, Dil Vil Pyar Vyar is an average film with four different love stories. And at least one of them is likely to
pull strings at heart.
