Dulha Mil Gaya is a story of a billionaire-bachelor-playboy named Tej(Fardeen Khan)
As per the will made by his late father , Tej has to marry his father’s friend’s daughter to inherit the assets.
That brings the NRI protagonist to Punjab through the regular route as showed in many movies like DDLJ, Namastey London. Tej registers a court marriage with gaon-ki-gori Samarpreet Kapoor (Ishita Sharma) for formality sake and runs away, never to return back. The gori takes it on herself to trace her husband in Trinidad only to realize she was cheated.
Enter supermodel Shimmer (Sushmita Sen) who gives a makeover to Samarpreet revamping her to Samara so much so that Tej doesn’t recognize her real identity. Everything happening here is very predictable and intuitive. Sadly that doesn’t give any new perspective to the script.
If that wasn’t indicative enough, Shahrukh Khan makes an appearance towards the end of a karwa chauth song and how one wishes at least he could have forestalled the foreseeable resemblance between his two consecutive releases. Candyfloss continues with a tinge of forced patriotism as the heroine counterattacks the illusion of Indian woman not being career-oriented saying, “ India ki ladkiyan sau karod ghar chalati hai"
Sushmita Sen carries a fake accent, occasionally does an Archana Puran Singh, has inconsistent comic timing but looks absolutely gorgeous. Ishita Sharma shows potential which remains untapped in a hackneyed film like this. Fardeen Khan is passable. Shah Rukh Khan doesn’t rise above the regular in his extended cameo. Mohit Chadda doesn’t get much scope. Tara Sharma shouldn’t act without using a dubbing artist. Johnny Lever is wasted in an inconsequential serious role. Howard Rosemeyer’s acting is more animated than his choreography.
To end,DULHA MIL GAYA is above-average entertaining film with just handful of soundtracks showing glitz and gleam of making it big on charts.
