This is not a new movie anymore, and if you're one of those who had never heard of it before, I was among you not very long ago :-)
Pyar mein Twist is (quite literally) a hatke movie, of the Baghbaan genre. The main theme is common, oldies romance :-)Like Baghbaan featuring Amitabh and Hema Malini, this movie brings back a jodi of yesteryears, Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia, again as lovers but about 50 years later.
The overall movie template is similar too, two familiar faces, surrounded by a bunch of hardly recognizable characters. Aman "e bhaaaai" Varma is replaced by Vikas "kkkiran" Bhalla as the actor trying to copy a superstar :-) Like Baghbaan the story isn't all that innovative, and there aren't "spectacular" subjects, scenes or characters. But its bearable. All in all, your typical crash-on-the-sofa-grab-popcorn kind of movie. Three charming actors in this movie--Rishi Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia and Farida Jalal.Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia prove that they still have in them, in the latter's case, much more than her daughters! Dimple Kapadia hovers in the positively glamorous to the absolutely gorgeous range in the movie. I have never liked her, but she has that tremendous upper-middle age charm in this movie. Rishi Kapoor doesn't have age and girth on his side, but has retained everything else that he was liked for.
Overall a neat and clean movie. If you have an evening to while away and don't want to depress yourself with serious movies or disgust yourself with sleazy ones, you can watch this one. Message to all directors and producers--if you don't have much money, want to get your money back, make a hatke film with all kinds of newcomers all at once, better make this than something else :-)
