Two upcoming Bollywood films, 'With Luv...Tumhaara' and 'Babul', appear to share a strikingly similar plot: a father-in-law encouraging his widowed daughter-in-law to remarry. Despite thematic parallels, their scale and central characters differ significantly.
Believe it or not but 'With Luv...Tumhaara' [which releases this Friday] and 'Babul' [which come next Friday] are based on a similar theme!
Yes, that's indeed right. The world knows about 'Babul' being a story of a father-in-law [Big B] who wants his daughter-in-law [Rani Mukherji] to marry another guy [John Abraham] after his son's [Salman Khan] death.
Now picture this - apparently the storyline of 'With Luv...Tumhaara' also comes quite close as it too has a father-in-law [Sharat Saxena] who wants his daughter-in-law [Preeti Jhangiani] to marry another guy [Pravin Dabas] after his son's [Nakul Vaid] death.
Surprised? But then that is indeed true! Though looking at the credentials of the two films, the scale on which they have been shot is pretty much contrasting. Also, while 'Babul' is centered on Big B's character, 'With Luv...Tumhaara' has Preeti Jhangiani and Pravin Dabas holding center stage. Also, the screenplay of the two films is bound to be different though it would be interesting to catch both the films to realize the actual similarities in presentation, if any!
