Remember the soft R.D. Burman tune "Kuch Na Kaho", from
1942- A Love Story. Now, nine years after, like all
other things, a song has been into the title of a film with the aspirations that
the film itself as is sugary sweet as the song is and always will be.
After Seeta Aur Geeta,
Sholay, Sagar and
Shakti, famed director Ramesh Sippy hands
over the job to his son Rohan Sippy.
Kuch Naa Kaho was delayed due to the producers
strike and has now been pushed back to September. However, all things are in the
film´s favor as aside from the Sippy name, the music is doing really well. And
even with that, Kuch Naa Kaho has had its share of
controversies like almost every film out there. Primarily it was Salman Khan to
feature in a special appearance in the film but that was sooner than later
changed to brother Arbaaz Khan. While there has been no news on his appearance in the film, the last word was that he had replaced Salman in the small role.
There was speculation of the re-pairing Aishwarya
Rai and Abhishek Bachchan after
Dhaii Akshar Prem Ke,
but furthermore, the Sippy´s have always proven to have talent with any forte
which is why their story for Kuch Naa Kaho is far from innovative let alone
different. The film is as simple as its theme, "love can not be arranged, it
just happens".
Kuch Na Kaho is the story of Raj (Abhishek) and Namrata (Aishwarya Rai).
Raj lives with his mother, a doctor, in New York who wants him to get married
soon. After a while the incessant pressure that a mother usually applies on her
son become prevalent much to Raj´s dismay. Raj is not ready to get married and
is in no rush to anytime soon either. Things change when Raj comes to India to
attend the marriage of his cousin. There, his uncle decides to listen to his mother and try
to convince Raj to at least meet a few girls, even if it is not necessarily for
marriage.
After reluctantly agreeing, Raj is even more surprised to find out that his
uncle has set up a matchmaker to help Raj find some one. The responsibility for
this is given to Namrata, a friend of Raj´s uncle. Unfortunately this doesn´t
help matters as Raj and Namrata had met previously when Raj first came to India and all they shared were a few arguments complimented with a few light verbal
skirmishes.
However, fate has something else for them. They do not even realize when amidst all of this they fall in love. How their relationship develops from this point is what Kuch Naa Kaho is all about and how life changes and still presents
its obstacles describes Kuch Naa Kaho. Will Raj´s acceptance towards a possible bride in Namrata be encountered with its own troubles?
