My Comment
Aaja Nachle has nothing new to offer and has two dances including the one in the climax, a scene here and a moment there and of course…Madhuri Dixit.If the music was better and the second half had more drama, the movie would have been loads more interesting.
For a comeback film, Madhuri has been given a meaty role where she needs to dance, perform, cry, laugh and do some trademark ‘Nautanki’-and she excels.The title song is catchy and Madhuri rocks in the song. The final musical is not bad, but overall the music is not Salim-Sulaiman’s best surprisingly. For a dance-based theme, the music could have been much, much be
tter than this.
Final say : The first half is gripping, while in the second half everything just seems to fall into place without much struggle. Go watch it .
Rating : 3.5 / 5

Story : Dia is a part of a dance-drama group run by her ‘Dada’, where she meets Steve, an American photographer and elopes with him. The marriage doesn’t work, and she runs a dance school and lives with her daughter. When news comes in that her Guru is on the deathbed, she returns to her town only to find herself scorned, her Ajanta Theatre in ruins and ready to be broken down to make way for a shopping mall. The local MP (Akshaye Khanna) tells her to get the place to run again and to get the people from the town itself to do a play. How she gets back her beloved theatre and earns the respect of the people back is the rest of the plot.
Performances :
1) Madhuri Dixit makes you forget the sabbatical she took. It’s like she never took a day off from what she does best-and she is a complete entertainer.
2) Kunal Kapoor and the ever-dependable Konkona Sen make a cute pair, and in the limited space they get, they do a good job
3) When Ranvir Shorey and Vinay Pathak first appeared on Channel [V], no one would have guessed they’d one day become such solid performers. Vinay as a boring and orderly Government employee, his chirpy wife Sushmita Mukherjee and Ranvir as a simpleton in love with the lovely Dia are perfectly cast. Irrfan Khan’s role goes haywire towards the end, and he has done better work really.
4) Akshaye Khanna is a powerhouse performer, and the chemistry between him and Madhuri is explosive
5) Darshan Zariwala as Dia’s Guru is okay while Vinod Nagpal, Uttara and Felix D’Alviella as her parents and lover respectively have little screen time
Last Word : UP puts ban or lifts ban on the movie….what ever it might be… movie is feel good one and need to watch it if you are a fan of Madhuri. Muisc should have been better.
