Mera Pehla Pehla Pyar (Mp3)


Mera Pehla Pehla Pyar, mp3 for short, is a story of first time love between a 12th standard boy and a girl. I did know know anyone in the movie before watching it. I did a quick search on the director Robby Grewal and learnt that he made a movie earlier, Samay. Samay was an average movie. I liked it.

MP3 is about a boy, Rahul and girl Ayesha. You would see a Rahul in every school. He is not a hero or someone who excels at everything. He is bad at academics but excels at basket ball. Ayesha is an NRI girl who for some reasons comes to India and joins Rahul's school. The moms of Rahul and Ayesha are old friends and thus starts the friendship between Rahul and Ayesha. Rest of the movie is about how they realize that they are in love and how Rahul goes to Paris to propose to Ayesha in front of Effiel Tower.

Rahul is good as a school going boy. Ayesha is good too with her NRI accent and frequent usage of english. Rahul's friends do well too. The comedy part in the second part is provided by Ayesha's uncle who keeps forgetting things. Music is ok.

The best thing about the movie is that it is less than 2 hrs and finishes early without dragging the climax too much. Robby Grewal should be appreciated for refraining from making a 2.5 hr movie and cutting short the movie so that the feel-good factor remains. While watching the movie, school and college kids would identify themselves with various characters in the movie and others would feel reminded about their school/college days.

Overall, the movie can be watched once for its fresh characters and short duration. Good for category A,B,C viewers.
