Story / Writer: Vidhi Kasliwal
Story: Rajnandini (Sandeepa Dhar), a small town girl from Rajasthan sneaks into a Mumbai college. Sneaks? Well yes, her mom has to surreptitiously send her to something as ordinary as college because dad (Mohnish Behl) doesn't want his girl to mix up with the modern metro kids.
He wants to marry her off, despite the fact that she is a topper in school. College on the sly turns out to be a life-changing experience for Rajnandini who metamorphoses into RJ, the livewire of the campus drama society. And teaching her to dream and discover her talents is Vivan (Akshay Oberoi), the college hero. Will Vivan's best buddy act help her find love too....

Movie Review: The house of Barjatya's carries on its task of upholding India's moral and cultural code by reiterating its earlier code of conduct for young Indians. In all Barjatya films, the heroines never show skin, never get physical, never give up their undertones, never question authority, never argue, never debate, never lose their cool and never think of getting a life, on their own. According to them, parents know best, personal ambitions are perfunctory, questioning authority is heresy.
Isi Life Mein does have an interesting premise and tries to present the other point of view. The film tries to say that modernity isn't synonymous with sin and metro kids are sorted out too, despite their strange dress sense and stranger lingo. The film even has the virginal heroine asking the hero his views on sex before marriage. Of course, she fumbles before using the S-word, just as she asks her friend to gargle after using the F-word. (And yes, the friend does gargle!!!).
But somewhere along, the intention gets all mixed up. This holier-than-thou attitude could have been tolerable if our puritanical lady had shown some spunk at least. The film ostensibly tries to speak on behalf on India's Gen Now, but the submissiveness of the heroine simply doesn't work. The girl doesn't once object, question, protest despite being forced to forget her love, her ambitions, her dreams and marry a complete stranger. Can't understand what's wrong in saying No.
This apart, the film unfolds as one long play rehearsal and doesn't seem to move forward after a point. The relationship between the big city boy and the small town girl is confined to an exchange of smiles and smiles and some more smiles: too many cold exchanges between the two debutants. Wish there had been some spirit too in this well-intentioned film that hopes to bridge the traditional versus modern divide.
