This Hindi-English bilingual, tells the story of Jaswinder from Punjab (Ritesh Deshmukh). He reaches the shores of America with dreams in his eyes and a career as his intent. He encounters the saucy and sensuous Sally (Brande Roderick) and seeks her help for his work permit. Sally is happy to oblige but with 3 magical words 'Then marry me'.Practicality overcomes all else and Jaswinder become Jimmy, the husband of Sally. Life with Sally begins but back home in Punjab, Jimmy's strict father, Jatta Singh Bedi (Amrish Puri) has made even bigger plans. He wants to marry off Jaswinder to an all-Indian woman, Richa (Hrishitaa Bhatt). Mr Singh summons Jimmy to Punjab and makes sure that things go his way. So every man's fantasy of having two wives now becomes Jimmy's biggest nightmare. Jimmy's father and new bride follow him to America where East meets West and things really get Out of Control! The film on the whole takes a light hearted look at the subject of bigamy. The movie itself is filled with great 'crackers' that it will have the audience in stitches. We see an engrossing pre-intermission, as love blossoms between American blonde, Brande and Indian bred, Ritesh. The entry of Hrishita Bhatt adds further spice to the proceedings as the film veers towards a love triangle and off course the suspense of what will happen next. Viewing the film, one can see that the spotlight is on Brande Rodricks. And why not, I say! She has done a grand job reciting her Hindi dialogues although the more mature viewer might find her skimpy attire throughout the film too revealing for their tastes. Not giving too much away here, the climax of the film could have been better thought of in many ways than one. Naturally all hell breaks loose when the two women find that they are married to the same man. So what should actually happen to conclude this film? Well I leave it to you to decide. So go and see the movie and make your own judgment. Overall, Out Of Control does entertain throughout, whether it's the story, the music or the exotic Swiss locales. The presence of Brande Rodricks will further bring an influx of teenagers into cinemas giving the film its initial high attendance. Reviewed by Manish Gajjar, BBC Shropshire’s Mr Bollywood. |
