Director: K. S. Adhiyaman 
Cast: Salman Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Shah Rukh Khan,

A remake of the Tamil movie Thotta Chinungi [starring Revathy], directed by K S Adhiyaman, this film has been in the news because of the time it has taken --- almost five years in the making. So getting down to the plot at a go we have Alok Nath whose daughter (Aruna Irani) walks out of her home along with her two kids. The estranged daughter brings up her two kids and an adopted one on her own after her husband dies. Nath, on the other hand, brings up two kids entrusted to his care by a friend. Cut to the present. The children have grown up. Nath suffers a heart attack. Hearing the tragic news, Aruna rushes with her daughter Radha (Madhuri Dixit), but is killed in an accident before she reaches.

Motherless, Radha and her doting Amitabh Bachchan fan brother Prashant (Atul Agnihotri) are given shelter by their grandfather. All this happens before you can blink your eyes, but that is because they want to get on with the story. Alok Nath tells one of the children Gopal (Shah Rukh Khan) --- who has now grown into a successful businessman --- that he has chosen his bride, Radha. Gopal agrees.

Without wasting much time to get to know each other (they were childhood friends, after all), they are bound by holy matrimony. Trouble starts from the day they marry. Gopal discovers his innocent bride loves a lot of people. We would think this is obvious since Radha has only known Gopal for one-and-a-half days of her adult life (not counting her childhood). Gopal is miffed.

Things get worse when Gopal meets Suraj (Salman Khan), Radha's childhood friend, and discovers they share a strong bond. Gopal's suspicion builds as he catches his wife having conversations with Suraj once too often. Five calls a day, he counts. She also calls Suraj when she needs a friend to talk to. And he comes over whenever he is bored. Gopal soon gets obsessed to the point of not thinking straight. He starts imagining things. He accuses Prashant of stealing and slaps his sister Neeta (Suman Ranganathan) in his rage. Radha, meanwhile, is blissfully unaware of the fact that her husband needs a little more attention than Suraj.

Is Gopal overreacting? Is Suraj being too friendly with Radha? Is Radha ignoring her husband and his needs? The premise of the film is simple. Jealousy. If you discount the fact the 'falling in love' was instant (but when is it not?), the topic is quite interesting.

Some inconsistencies in the quality of the film may be an indication of the fact that the film nearly did not see daylight. There is also no visible aging of the characters. Performancewise, Shah Rukh Khan does more than justice to his role of a jealous husband. Never for once he goes overboard, a lesser actor would surely have got carried away. Salman as an extrovert friend is good, he has three songs and the surprise is that he never takes off his clothes for any. Madhuri breezes through the story looking like a dream, needless to say, her performance is flawless in those charged emotional scenes.

A must see for couples who are at loggers edge over jealousy issue, this film can teach a lesson or two in being patient.
