Sense and sensibility are not the only things that meet and mix in this Bollywood adaptation of Austen's classic novel. When East meets West, and audiences meet the two charming sisters at the heart of it's tale, there is no end to the fun, adventure, and romance. Sowmya and Meenakshi have it all: looks, money, and youth. The only thing they lack is the true love they both yearn for. This situation is soon remedied when three suitors, each attractive in very different ways, are introduced into their lives. The level-headed Sowmya continues to put filial obligations ahead of romance, while the impetuous and passionate Meenakshi tries to figure out which one is her "white knight." While Sowmya is courted by a filmmaker who loves her but insists he must finish his first movie before they marry, Meenakshi must choose between a wounded soldier and a charismatic businessman with the heart of a poet. Ultimately, however, the increasing infirmity of the family patriarch may present the girls with some difficulties they are ill-prepared for. A brilliant widescreen extravaganza, I HAVE FOUND IT is the sophomore effort from director Rajiv Menon. It manages to successfully blend comedy, social satire, and familiar genre conceits into a stunning, dazzling musical spectacle that is a delight to behold.
