Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge - movie review

As the title appears, Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge is a campus romance with new faces and how their romance blooms, courtesy the Facebook. It has funny dialogues

The concept of social networking sites has taken a new turn with Facebook. The film Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge exploits the idea to get in touch with your friends, and you get an opportunity on the Facebook to get introduced to new friends. The ides of this networking site is that you do not have to reveal your identity to start the talks with someone.

If Rahul the rockstar has got the voice and the looks, Vishal, the writer has the brains. If Malvika, the fashion design student and biker chick can get heads turning with just her looks, Preity, the photographer, can say a million things with her pretty pictures. What Vishal and Preity can’t do, is spell it out to Malvika and Rahul that they ‘heart’ them.

Rahul Sareen is a rockstar even when he’s off stage. This guy looks like a million bucks, sings like a dream and is charming as hell. His songs play on everyone’s playlist on campus.

Preity Sen is a man repellent. She’s pretty and all, but she hates the sight and smell of men around her, especially Vishal, the prankster.
Vishal Bhatt is a ghatiya shayiri writer and a pain in all the wrong places, if Vishal has any talent, it is being a genius prankster. He can go to any length to have fun.

Malvika Kelkar – There’s simply just a lot more to this bounty of beauty from nature’s basket. This fashion design student wears more than just her attitude.

But ‘Liking’ someone on Facebook is a lot easier. And when you can’t make it on your own, the best thing to do is to fake it. So, Vishal becomes Rahul and Preity becomes Malvika by taking their identities online and they start fraaandshipping each other. They chat, ‘like’, tag and LOL together and do a great job of pretending to be someone else. But, the question remains, how long can you fake true love?

In short, Rahul loves Malvika. And Malvika loves Rahul. But Rahul is not Rahul. Rahul is Vishal. And Vishal loves Malvika too. But Malvika is not Malvika either. Malvika is Preity. And Preity loves Rahul. But Preity hates Vishal. And Vishal hates Preity.

Initially Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge takes time for one to get interested and fortunately the second half gets you hooked.

Best amongst the lot is Saba Azad. She is vibrant and energetic and natural too. The film is brilliantly written and the characters too seem to match their image. It is really difficult to get the vibe of a youth film in the right format. This time, it clicks.
