EMET is romantic comedy which neither has romance and is hardly comic. The best part is amit Trivedi's score and worst is.. hmmm let me think.. there are too many 'worsts' here. It could be Kareena's typical 'hey i am soo carefree' or Imran's usual goodie goodie boy character(s). It could be the ill developed plot or an almost non existent story. It could be stretched like chewing gum screenplay or absolutely boring and not funny 'funny' moments. Well, one positive was that though the characters were cliched but the ending wasn't. The ending is not at all filmy and i can just hope that the movie wasn't too.
Let me be honest here. I am hardly interested in even writing about the movie here, coz there was hardly anything that involved me in it. That's the worst that a movie can do. Whether you like or hate a movie, every movie should invoke a response from the audience. This one doesn't. I as an audience just didn't care after the first couple of scenes. The plot was supposed to be a typical rom-com-ish one but the difference could have been made through the treatment or 'how' the plot moves forward, but that wasn't the case.
In typical rom-com style, Kareena and Imran are absolutely opposite to each other. Kareena is the typical 'Geet', the usual happy go lucky, carefree girl who lives every moment of her life ! Imran is a typical Mama's (and Papa's) boy once again, who is all goodie goodie and all. The meet and fight and then get married in a drunken state. Suddenly, (sorry i don't really remember or care why and how) Kareena doesn't have any money and ends up living with Imran for a few days even though they are trying to annul the marriage. They become friends and the usual 'living life to the fullest' scenes follow. Kareena and Imran come to India for a vacation and Kareena 'changes' Imran and makes him the man he should be (Don't get me wrong here ! ). She makes hims stand up for what he believes and do what he loves rather than what his parents tell him (Yes, there is some 3 idiots here too). In the end, Well ending is the only thing interesting here, so i would leave for you to experience it, when its out on DVD or Star plus soon.
The biggest problem i had with the movie was with the non-emotional treatment. you just can't feel for the lead pair. May be since you have seen the characters earlier or may be simply because there is nothing fresh they offer in the acting space. Thye guy is unemployed and you don't care. The girl has no money but you don't care. Just because you are not bothered about the characters, you don't care about what's happening to them in the movie too. And once you are so disinterested, you don't really care about the movie and are constantly looking at the watch.
There were two things i liked about the movie. One, Amit Trivedi's background score and almost all the songs. Two, the ending so un-typical of bollywood. But to be honest, you are so bored of the movie, you don't care about the good part too.
Overall: Utter waste of time. Bad performances. Cliched Characters. Boring throughout the length. Watch it on TV after a couple of months rather.
Feel-O-Meter: 4/10
