Young people in Bollywood are only second in the yuck scale-the first spot belongs to cheesy children. Probably because most filmmakers are premanently middle aged, they don’t quite know what young people think or feel. They assume the miseen scene (malls and multiplexes) will take the place of a story. So instead of sounding cool, they just sound silly, as in Dil Maange More, Yet Socha Na Tha, which deals with the middle class shtick of arranged marriaged and career confusion, is surprisingly hip. Its language, a mix of Hindi and English which does not sound like a Zee News bulletin, is contemporary and so are the characters, except the hard-drinking Christian father straight out of Bobby. Abhay Deol’s dimples don’t hurt (though he desperately needs a voice coach) and Ayesha Takia stands out in a crowd of starlets with soft porn lips.
