Synopsis:

Life is good for Raj Jaiswal (Arjun Rampal), the self-centered host of the London talk show "British Raj". An incorrigable flirt, Raj goes after every pretty girl he meets, but has no intention of getting married anytime soon. However, he gets the shock of his life when a girl he has never met, Shivani Dutt (Vipasha Agarwal) suddenly appears on the balcony of his new appartment claiming that the appartment is really hers. She seems surprised that he can both see and touch her and gradually he realizes that he is the only one who knows she exists. His friends worry for his sanity and his career begins to be usurped by his new co-host, but Raj continues to be fascinated by his ghostly Shivani and gradually he coaxes her to tell her sad story. She reveals to him that she was a doctor who witnessed her co-workers commiting the crime of organ trafficking and that her body is now lying in a coma in the hospital, in danger of being pulled off of life-support. Raj decides to take action and sets off to steal her body and save her life, but with the hospital staff and her family against him, and his friends still unable to believe she exists, that's going to be anything but easy...

Comments:

A fun, sweet film, I See You surprised me with its depth. The story is touching and the confusion surrounding Shivani's existance creates a lot of great funny scenes between Raj and his friends. You could believe the romance between the two main characters and I got completely pulled into the story. Musical numbers weren't a big factor in this film, but both the opening song, "Subah Subah", with its guest appearances from both Shahrukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan, and the fast-paced club song "Aaj Raat Aaj Raat Halo Halo" were a lot of fun. I would certainly see this film again, and I recommend it to all of you.
