What’s Your Rashee Movie Review
Go watch it without any high expectations and you will be taken by surprise! What’s your Rashee? is a romantic film with a backdrop of astrology. For his maiden romantic-comedy, award-winning filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker adapts ‘Kimball Ravenswood’, a novel written by US based Gujarati writer Madhu Rye. Harman Baweja plays Yogesh Patel, an NRI who has to get married in a few days time to help his family overcome a crisis. His marriage date is fixed, all preparations are done and invitation cards are distributed; and the only thing he has to do is select a suitable girl. He decides to meet 12 girls, one girl of each zodiac sign, (played by Priyanka Chopra) but fails to find a suitable match. But, marriage does happen!

Direction
This is the first time director Ashutosh Gowariker, the name behind awesome films like Lagaan, Swades and Jodha Akhbar, has ventured into romantic genre. As expected, in this over three hours tale, things take their own sweet time to establish. An uninteresting sub-plot and a not-so-appealing twist in the climax mars the excellence of the subject.

Performances
WYR is a Priyanka Chopra film all the way! Priyanka scores big time in enacting the roles of 12 different, young Gujarati girls all aged between 19-24. The way she has experimented with her body language, accent and appearance is appreciable. However, we wish her get-ups were more intricate and real rather than loud and artificial. Harman puts forth a decent and honest performance. The peripheral actors don’t have much to showcase.

Music
Debutante music director Soham Shah (a Dilip Sen-Sameer Sen descent), who has also sung a few songs including the melodious ‘Jaao Na’, has done a great job. However, we wish there were fewer songs. A song after every 15 minutes into the film reminds us of films like Hum Aapke Hain Kaun or a Hum Sath Sath Hain.
