It's a David Dhawan dhamaka, starring Salman Khan and Karisma. End result? A laugh riot! Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge is not a remake of the Hollywood hit Runaway Bride in the absolute sense of the word 'remake'. It's, instead, in essense a very distinct David Dhawan kinda film with the right mix of romance, drama and comedy.
As the story goes, it's about Karisma's absolutely vehement and confirmed "no-no" to the prospective groom her protective and possessive mamas (Anupam Kher, Paresh Rawal and Om Puri) want to thrust down her delicate sensibilities and life. Somewhere along the way trudges the sexy and suave Salman who holds Karisma's rapt attention and makes way into her cozy heart. And then, as the title suggests, after much song-n-dance (literally and figuratively) Sallu darling takes away his dulhan, Karisma. Adding lighter moments to the mamas' madness are classic comedians Johny Lever and Kader Khan.
Now, what's going to probably work in David's favour in this film is his choice of Anupam, Paresh and Om as the possessive mamas. Their class act will most certainly lend the much-needed curiousity and flavour to the by-now popular and delectable pairing of Salman and Karisma. The inclusion of Himesh Reshmmiya as the music director is bound to lend freshness to the tralalalala aspect too. What might just not work (there's a slim possibility) in the favour of the film is its price. A huge and hefty Rs 3 crores per territory, the highest received by any producer so far for a Salman Khan-starrer. However, if producer Gordhan Tanwani's luck is shining bright, the film might bring in favourable tidings, the price notwithstanding. 'Wait and watch' is the mantra till its release later this month.

David Dhawan's Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge: Contrary to popular belief, this Salman Khan-Karisma Kapoor musical is not a Hindi version of the Julia Roberts starrer, Runaway Bride, but an imitation of a film closer home. The story of a young man who must win the affection of his beloved's four uncles before he can walk her down the aisle, here's an all-new remake of Ek Phool Chaar Kaante.
