The movie provides some idea about astrology system and rashi but is not quite accurate in about half of them. also somewhat overly modern while presenting a traditional theme , i think that would have done better if presented traditional theme in traditional manner. interesting music

Wrong movie for Harman to act in. He probably got so excited working with Ashutosh who made so many landmark films. The movie is long and is sort of play like, where a guy chooses girls based on zodiac signs. Much of old, and even today many people use this kundli method of marriage. Just city people don't get. But what India's traditional and best way of marriage is showcased in the movie. It's showing someone who is educated, same time modern but has kept his traditional and values of his family. Lot of people in present time are lost in the modern world but this Yogesh the lead in the film is modern and wants to have love marriage but agrees to chose girls based on zodiac sign b/c with signs he knows he can meet 12 different girls in less time. He sees his first girl, and that image stays with him in his mind, in some ways an image in his mind before was unclear after meeting the first girl he carries on that image which gives him prospect to think his dream girl looks that way, so he see each girl the same onwards. Priyanka is sexy, charming but I think even having the title, she isn't that much pretty. I love her work in some of her movies but she isn't pretty or beautiful. She doesn't have looks of a heroine. In comparison with so much beautiful heroines of industry like Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit, Mumtaz, Madhubala, and Meena Kumari, Waheeda Rehman, she is no way near to their beauty even their acting skills but she can act for sure but in this movie she doesn't really have anything to act. She is showed in 12 different ways, by changing her looks. Not even one look is pretty. The actress only posses smartness, sexy body and acting skills. She isn't pretty at all. Even Bipasha beats her in looks area, much duskier, black beauty Bipasha looks better than Priyanka. Movie is good in ways of portraying the traditional way of marriage in Indian culture. The movie has tooooooo many songs which lengthen the movie. Harman just chose to work with an excellent director and in his excitement he probably forgot to look at the script. Even after giving hit of Lagaan he gave Swades, so after Jodha Akbar he was on his way to give a flop. There is a pattern in Ashu's movie. His direction is poor. The movie is good if you have big time to watch it & want to know the traditions of Gujrati families marriages. Such a talented actor but is overshadowed by 12 characters and he lost in what to chose in the movie and who to chose. After watching Victory, this movie is a let down on Harman Baweja b/c he ran for powerful director not for the good story. Watch it for Priyanka's experimental looks and for old rituals' sake. Not for Harman b/c he is a lead but his ex had more in the film than him.

The lead actor needs serious acting lessons, he might have the looks, somewhat the dance moves too. But his acting is a mess and very hard to stomach. This movie rests solely on the lead actress, which is seriously impressive. The story is not bad at all with minor tackles of serious issues like child marriage. A very enjoyable movie if you are willing to ignore the previously mentioned let downs. I wonder though how much research was put in actual personalities of each rashee. A lot of the characteristics were missing that are hallmarks of each horoscope personality. Again Priyanka did a phenomenal job, while Mr Baweja failed.

I think every one have there own choice to watch the movie , but to recommend this movie to other is awful .Movie Worst Thing's .1) 12 Priyanka is not digestive in this movie , If they took 12 different girls in movie then it will look pretty much different .2) Length of movie is 3+ hrs another worst thing.I Really appreciate those who watch this movie in Hall :) , But More surprising Ashutosh Made this Movie after (Lagaan & Swades ) So guys u r mind , don't waste u r money .Songs are good in movie but still not pretty much fit on movie themes only 4 listening is good .
