Aaja Nachle....the comeback vehicle for Madhuri Dixit...gives Madhuri a chance to flaunt his strongest skills i.e. dancing. Aaja Nachle is a musical extragavanza (with not so admirable or appreciable music score ..except for the title song).
Aaja nachle is a story about a woman who returns to his hometown (after the death of her dancing guru) 11 years after she ran away with a firang and obviously bringing shame to her family in. Madhuri faces an uphill task of saving Ajanta(the place where she learned dancing) and for that she challeneges MP (Akshay Khanna) ...Madhuri promises to stage a Lailu majnu show within 2 months (with the people of Shamli as the cast) to save Ajanta...which ...no prizes for guessing..she does after overcoming a lot of obstacles.
The story on the whole is quite predictable and becomes quite boring sometimes..Maduri being the saving grace..for not so well wrtitten story...Anil Mehta (the director) does a decent job in his debut directorial venture. Salim- Sulaiman fail to score high with their music. Akshay Khanna , Kunal Kapoor and Konkana sen do justice to their roles. The Laila majnu sequence (which lasts for about 30 -35) minutes is well scripted and directed...but grandeur of the sets used during the sequence and the dance troops (god knows where they came from) is not digestable....All in All, an average film which definitely deserves one time watch for Madhuri who shines throughout the film..and yes special accolades to Vaibhavi Merchant...for the song..AAja Nachle ...
