Review :
Yet another rehash of Sleeping with the Enemy, Afzal Khan’s Mehbooba has been in the making for a decade or so. From the time Ajay Devgan actually had more flesh than bones, Manisha Koirala far less fat on her and Sanjay Dutt far less grey hair on his head. So you have arrogant business tycoon Shravan (Dutt) who’s after Varsha (Manisha) and fakes marriage to sleep with her, because she teaches him a lesson. She slaps him, not once but twice, in full public view, and ends up being slapped, duped and dumped by the raging tycoon who's still lusting. She, of course, finds love in Karan (Ajay) and then the triangle takes over.
So who gets the girl? Game to find out? Guess the time's over for these treacly tales by now. Specially when all the actors have aged and progressed to more meatier roles.
In the film Sanjay Dutt looks young and natty. Manisha Koirala is slim and trim. Kader Khan is still around. And Ajay Devgan is callow and boyish. Well, it doesn't take long for you to guess the time period of this of the film. Neither through the characters nor through the plot which is older than the formula itself.
Honestly, Ashok Mehta's cinematography of the Budapest locations is the only redeeming factor. Otherwise the set designs, choreography, costumes, the never-ending songs and editing belong to the Jurassic era. The music is by Ismail Darbar.
Although Mehbooba is running at the plexes, you are advised to check with the theatres because shows are getting cancelled by the hour. Why? Too few takers.
