7 Reasons Why Pyaar Impossible Deserves Its Place In The List Of 'So Bad That Its Good' Classics

 In the crowd of Gunda and Jaani Dushman-s of the world, Pyaar Impossible has its own place in the so-bad-that-it-is-good classics. The movie directed by Jugal Hansraj was a project that probably required the actors to come to set and make a complete fool of themselves. To be honest, the only redeeming quality of the film was its hummable music composed by Salim Suleiman, the rest was a nightmare for YashRaj Films and Priyanka Chopra who would like to forget it for ever. As far as Uday Chopra is concerned, the movie was a true reflection of his fate in Bollywood. It was impossible. On the 8^th anniversary of the ‘masterpiece’ we recall why the movie deserves a solid presence in Bollywood’s Hall Of Fame of the Worst Movies Ever Made.

Jugal Hansraj on the Director’s Chair

After a respect worthy attempt in Roadside Romeo that won a National Award and managed to get screened in the Cairo Film Festival, Jugal Hansraj thought it would be a good idea to continue his ‘mohabbatein’ with Uday Chopra and YashRaj banner. Though the script did not leave much in his hands, but the ‘masoom’ director did absolutely nothing to salvage the disaster. In fact the film looks like that the only brief from the director was to look annoying and stupid in every frame.

Stereotypes Galore

Pretty popular girl, nerdy besotted guy, rescuing from river, unruly child of divorce, unscrupulous businessmen, this movie gets full point for not discriminating against any stereotypes. It packs all of them in abundance. The script, if it can be called so, had as much meat as a stale veggie burger. It also deserves a special mention for re-instating the fact that unattractive people are nerdy losers and pretty people are shallow and scheming. Keeping the legacy intact, it also mistakes serious criminal stalking for romantic determination. Slow Claps.

Uday Chopra Was A Lead

Yup, the movie is that old. When Bollywood (read his home production), was still harbouring the dream of Uday Chopra having a career in Bollywood. The whole movie is a futile exercise to figure out if he is more annoying or clueless as an actor. In absolute absence of a script, it looks like a contest to see how bad his acting can get, and this is perhaps the only aspect in which Uday Chopra emerges as an undisputed winner.

Dino Morea Was There In It

Again, this is a reminder of how old we have become. This was still an era where Dino Morea had a job, that too in a mainstream movie. It would be unfair to analyse his acting performance in a movie where everyone competed with each other in a bid to see who can look more stupid. However, even then, our Dino boy did not disappoint. He manages to deliver a performance that is completely sync with the clueless spirit of the movie. Not that we ever expected anything else from him.

Priyanka Chopra’s Amazing Decision Making

The moment you see the first 10 minutes of the film, you are sure that Priyanka Chopra is not in the movie because she ‘believed in the script’. It would probably forever be a mystery as to why our dearest Pee Cee decided to board this ship that had shipwreck written all over it. But then she also thought What’s Your Rashee, Love Story 2050 and Drona were good ideas. It is probably safe to assume that along with many other things, her selection process of choosing scripts have developed over the years. We forgive you Pee Cee.

The Child Artist

Tanya, played by an adorable Advika Yadav is one of the most annoying child characters ever. Don’t get us wrong, there is nothing wrong with the kid itself, but the character she was given was a complete pain in the you-know-where. She was rude and unruly and not in a good way. Even if we overlook that, there is no way a kid of that age understands complexities of adult relationship. And if she does then it is not really palatable.

Tech Savvy

What is with Bollywood and technology? In a country where every second person is a software engineer or a tech nerd, how difficult is it to write accurately about technology. In the film Uday Chopra, a tech nerd, develops a software that integrates all operating systems. Even if we let that pass as a leap of creativity, the question why the whole thing looks like a futuristic rocket launching mechanism is beyond us to figure out.
