The latest romantic comedy from the Hindi-film powerhouse Yash Raj Films, "Pyaar Impossible" is, like most Yash Raj movies, a fairy tale. And like most of the company's pictures, it is also well made (if formulaic), enriched by slick production values and set in glossy faraway places: It begins at something called Ankert University in a tropical-pastoral paradise called California, touches down briefly in Mumbai and then settles in Singapore.
"Pyaar Impossible," or "Impossible Love," tells the story of a geek named Abhay, with glasses and braces (Uday Chopra, who also wrote the script and has a producer credit). He falls for Alisha (Priyanka Chopra, not a relative), the prettiest girl at Ankert U, and carries his torch long after Alisha's father pulls her out of school.
Seven years later, Abhay has become a brilliant software designer whose breakthrough product has been stolen by a handsome villain (Dino Morea). Abhay follows him to Singapore, where he runs into Alisha and, abracadabra, is hired as the nanny for her monster child. (Alisha is a working mom, and divorced.)
Can the milquetoast Abhay become a man by fighting to regain his software and through his love for Alisha? (Reader, you know the answer.)
"Pyaar Impossible" shouldn't work, but does. It's sweet, and as formula goes, deftly done and satisfying. (It's also an extended ad for Apple products.)
Best of all, it features Ms. Chopra, one of the most likable of the new crop of Hindi film stars. She is an effortless comedian and, needless to say, a great beauty. In one song sequence, Abhay tries to make Alisha over into an ugly girl to show her how the other half lives. As if!
