Like most other Indian movies, the movie we are dealing here with also have a love story as its central plot. Indian filmmakers add the element of love in every genre movies. And they are kilometres away from reality. Actors can perform a duet in foreign countries irrespective of where they live or in what economic conditions they are in. Characters are superheroes have all the powers to attract the opposite sex. Interreligious marriages happen in the climax of these romantic movies and the fact is that people demands for such climax only in movies.
