This film is very close to my heart as I myself am an NRI & have been so from birth.So I can very well relate to Katrina Kaif's character in the movie.Jasmmet aka Jazz(Katrina Kaif) is a fun sized London girl.Her father,Manmohan Malhotra(Rishi Kapoor) is dismayed that she's again made a fool out of a decent Indian boy arranged by her parents for marriage.His Pakistani friend,Parvez(Javed Sheikh) is enraged that his son Imran(Upen Patel) wants to ahve a live-in relationship with his Brit girlfriend.He throws Imran out of the house & the two fathers begin to think if their lives would've been better off living in their own countries.In an attempt to make Jazz like everything Indian,Manmohan asks her to come on a trip to India.But that's not as plain as her father's plan may seem.Despite his wife's arguements he posts her profile & her pretty picture on an Indian matrimonial site.As expected,many 'cultured' Indian boys send in their proposals.In India,Jazz comes to know of her father's idea & plays along with him.Luckily for her,all the guys they meet are comical & fail to impress her father.The last place her father has remaining to find a good groom is his homestate,Punjab.Arjun Singh(Akshay Kumar) is a farmer with a BIIIIIIIG family & a bigger heart.Jazz's father is impressed the way Arjun behaves as stubborn as his daughter to get answers out of her.Soon,Manmohan gives his consent for the wedding without bothering to ask Jazz or his wife about the marriage.Jazz is shocked that her father fixed her life-time committment with a guy whom she has nothing in commom with.Furthermore,Arjun can't even utter a single word of English!Also Jazz's got a 'fair' prospect back in London-her Britis boss,Charlie Brown.Her friend,Imran tells her a plan to get her out of the sticky situation.But this little plan ends up breaking Manmohan & Pravez's trust,& most importantly Arjun's heart.The songs keep you humming atleast once every day.Akshay Kumar makes his comic role seem so effortless.Katrina & Upen ave accents that make them perfect for thei r respective roles.In the end,every girl would only want a guy like Arjun rather than a not-so-gentlemanly Englishman.
