Mera Dil Leke Dekkho

Comedy is the flavor of the season. And Punam S. Sinha, wife of actor Shatrughan Sinha, opts for this genre in her film production debut. MERA DIL LEKE DEKKHO is not the David Dhawan brand of comedy. It's a comedy of errors, where almost every character accuses the other of being gay.

The wife [Archana Puransingh] thinks her husband [Jackie Shroff] is a bisexual. She also thinks her son [Punit Tejwani] is gay, having an affair with his best friend [Carran Kapoor]. Punit's girlfriend [Koel Purie] also thinks he's gay for the same reason. Jackie's mistress also accuses him [Jackie] of having a relationship with his son's friend [Carran]. And wonder of wonders, Koel falls in love with a guy she thinks is straight [Premjit Singh], but is actually gay. Whew!

Something like this hasn't been witnessed on the Hindi screen before and debutante director Rohit Kaushik and writer Nandita C. Puri create situations that are funny at times, but flippant and ridiculous in parts.
