I saw the film The Apartment many years ago and just loved it. I'm not generally a fan of Shirley MacLaine, but she just lights up with Jack Lemmon in this funny, funny film. When I read a synopsis of Yes, Boss, I didn't make the connection - silly in hindsight, when the similarities are so clear. Nevertheless, I wasn't particularly keen on watching this movie, and had it not been for my abiding puppy love for SRK, I might have removed it from my queue completely.
And oh, what a loss that would have been. This movie made me believe in the romantic image of a Juhi Chawla/Shah Rukh Khan jodi (couple) again, and I didn't think ANYTHING could do that again after the wicked craziness that was Darr. This movie had exactly that fun, saucy vibe of the Apartment, with a sweet heart and a Bollywood soul. It has great dance numbers, including this treasure, "Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaoon":
In fact, the entire section of the film set in Switzerland just won me over: I actually shoved my husband awake from a sound sleep to make him look at SRK splashin' around with some dude in a hotel tub. I laughed and squirmed at the same time: I still can't decide if I'm turned on, grossed out, or just plain in stitches over it.
As I mentioned, I wasn't too sure about watching this film; but now, I'm a zealot of the converted. I just loved this film - Juhi was lovely and funny in the film, and it might just be the gold-medal winner for SRK sweet yumminess. This goes on the "must-buy" list, for sure.
