Film: What's Your Raashee

For Yogesh Patel, the central character of Ashutosh Gowariker's latest movie, though, rashee isn't for romance but marriage. The young MBA student-cum- executive-cum-guitarist-cum-DJ must match his compatibility with one of 12 girls over six days before taking the big plunge. It isn't an easy choice to make, especially with a bunch of goons threatening to chop off his fingers.

It's really a long, long list of women. And it has resulted in a long, long movie. The movie's first hour is also its most entertaining. Not that the movie degenerates thereafter, it merely gets repetitive and wears you down.

If the movie still works to an extent, it is because Gowariker maintains fluidity in the narrative and gets uniform good work from his support cast, especially from Yogesh's elder brother Jitu (Dilip Joshi) and his uncle (Darshan Jariwala) who bring subtlety to comedy.
