Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye

First thought – what a dud! But as it goes on, kinda liked it. The type of movie that is likely to appeal to a limited audience. Something on the lines of Paulo Coelho and Robin Sharma about life lessons, the whole ‘go after your dreams and believe in yourself’ gig. Raima Sen, Arbaaz Khan and Juhi Pandey play their parts well while Randeep Hooda looks totally yummm.  Maya (Raima Sen) is a homemaker with an abusive husband Vikram (Arbaaz Khan). He is violent, puts her down, blames her for everything and carries on with another woman on the side. Add to this, she always carried a dream of becoming a singer that never materialized. Her neighbours the Mathurs are looking for tenants and to escape her reality Maya loses herself in her imagination and makes up Jai (Randeep Hooda) who goads her into fulfilling her dreams, appearing in different forms as Elvis, a Rockstar, Krishna, Amitabh Bacchan, and a Policeman among others.  The rest of the movie is about whether she fulfills her dreams of becoming a singer and whether she’ll stand upto her husband. And then the Mathurs finally find a tenant…any guesses who that is?
