The movie which stars Salman Khan (as Yuvraj Vijay Singh and Prem Dilwale), Sonam Kapoor (as Maithili), Neil Nitin Mukesh (Yuvraj Ajay Singh), Anupam Kher (Diwan Sahib), Swara Bhaskar (as Rajkumari Chandrika) and Aashika Bhatia (as Rajkumari Radhika) was released in 2015 and I had the pleasure of watching it on Erosnow earlier this year. I found myself humming the theme song this morning, hence, the choice!
THE PLOT:
Yuvraj Vijay Singh is the crown prince of Pritampur, who is soon to be crowned as king. He is engaged to Maithili, a princess from the royal family of a neighboring kingdom. However, due to his stiff and stubborn nature, Vijay faces many problems with Maithili as well as his half brother and sisters. His half sisters, Rajkumari Chandrika and Rajkumari Radhika live in a separate house outside the royal palace and have filed case against Vijay for a share in the royal property, because they felt their mother, a mistress to the late King, was wronged by the Queen when she was disgraced in the presence of all the King's children. Similarly, his half brother, Yuvraj Ajay Singh, vows vengeance and has been wanting to kill him and take the crown for himself. He enlists the help of his manager named Chirag Singh, who begins to misguide Ajay at every step. Yuvraj Vijay barely escapes an assassination plan coordinated by Yuvraj Ajay and Chirag to kill him but gets badly injured. He is then hidden in a secret chamber for treatment.
Meanwhile, Vijay's lookalike Prem Dilwale, a perky, lively and carefree stage actor who is in love with Princess Maithili, went to Pritampur to meet her along with his friend Kanhaiya. At a bus stop, the Security Head of Pritampur Palace, Sanjay, notices him by chance, and takes him to Diwan Sahib. Upon seeing the striking resemblance between Prem and Vijay, Diwan asks Prem to take Vijay's place while he recovers from his coma.
Prem acts as Yuvraj Vijay but with his simple and caring nature, he impresses Maithili who earlier wanted to break up with Vijay. Prem also attempts to reconcile with his sisters by bringing them back to the royal palace; he prepares legal documents handing over all of the royal family's properties to them. His half-sisters are so moved by this gesture that, with a little push from Maithili, they eventually have a change of heart and decline to deprive the prince of his fortune.
Ajay and Chirag find out that Prem is only playing the part of the prince, and kidnap the real Yuvraj. Chirag decides to double cross Ajay, by freeing Vijay and feeding him false information to pit him against Ajay and Prem. Vijay and Ajay get into a sword fight when Prem and Kanhaiya intervene and clear the confusion. Chirag tries to shoot them down but falls to his death. Ajay regrets his deeds and Vijay reconciles with him. Maithili is shocked to know the truth about Prem not being Yuvraj Vijay after Prem has left to return to his home.
At the end, the royal family reaches Prem's house to reunite Prem and Maithili.
What I love about this movie:...
I totally enjoyed the richness of the royal culture. Also loved the way they infused the modern and traditional ways of life.
The songs were amazing; my favorite was "Jab Tum Chaho", that's the one where Prem was taking notes of the problems with Maithili. My second best song is the title track, I loved the video for that one.
My best part?...
That would be the scene when Prem (pretending to be Yuvraj) was supposedly on a vow of silence for some days but blurted out 'I'm sorry' to Maithili.
For me, I love the simplicity of the story - it was fun and traditional. The beauty and burst of colour of the set and the actors will make you watch it over and over again...
You can watch it on Erosnow for a token. If you love romcom, you should watch this film. You will thank me afterwards...
Below are my two favorite songs...
