U R MY Jaan

I'm watching this movie now and one hour in I don't really like it. I think the main characters are supposed to fall madly in love in the end but I've no idea why, I don't like either one. Hoping it will get better because they talk really clearly and I like the fact that I'm able to understand them some of the time.

EDIT: I've now finished watching the film although it took several attempts. I kept pausing and it didn't turn out to be much to my liking. I liked some of the camera angles and the  colorful wedding scenes visually (those are my favorites in Indian movies I think, the bride and the setting and everything is decked out so pretty) but the plot was um-hum. There's this girl who wants to be a big movie star and she travels to a big city against her parents will to attend an audition, only it got canceled and as she whines and complains a slimy agent arranges her an audition with even slimier movie producers and eventually pimps her out to a ruthless off-seas billionaire visiting India. Nothing like THAT happens, because of course she's a good girl and besides, he's got a girlfriend and she's engaged... he just flashes his money around and she gives her the talk that money does not make one happy and Indian girls are better than foreign girls which, naturally, changes his ruthless character and makes him a better person. I couldn't have guessed that it was about to happen...

 The film doesn't say whether he ever officially broke up with his girlfriend and as for her fiance, well, not to spoil anything but a word of advice to any young brides: Running off from your own wedding with a smugly gesturing billionaire without a word to your groom is just about the lousiest thing you can do to someone you agreed to marry, perhaps second only to actually marrying him and making his life living hell.

A romantic comedy does not work too well if in the end you liked the guy who got dumped a lot better.

Do you think these people look like they are in love?
