Every young soul searches for something deep inside. Rahul's quest sees the light of the day when he stumbles upon a beautiful siburban girl Bela. She has shaped up his dreams.
What about her own dreams?
She belongs to a community in central-western India, which will celebrate her becoming eighteen years of age. A wealthy businessman or a local politician will be a part of the celebration; he will give a hefty sum to her parents, some booze to the community members and then they all will celebrate the girl's loss of virginity.
After that day she will keep on earning as much as her flesh fetches; her parents and siblings living off that income. Only after people stop coming to her, she will get married to some middle aged man of the community.
All this without even before she realizes that she also had a dream!
Bela meets Rahul and starts dreaming - of love, of belongingness, of self-respect, of a life. Will they allow her?
Her mother, once a dreamer herself, has buried all her dreams after they had burnt down her first love... will she allow her daughter's quest for love?
Her father has waited impatiently for eighteen years to earn a good amount of money off her beautiful body... will he let her wash away his dreams?
The landlord of the nearby town is willing to spend a fortune to taste her virgin flesh... will he give up his animal instinct?
The local police dutifully serve the influential with the girls from the community - and in the process get some fringe benefits... could she dare ditch them?
And finally, the community heads - the privileged protectors of this heinous ritual of centuries... will they allow some girl to deviate from the practice and rob them off their lifestyle?
"Rivaaz" is a film of hope - of them who are 'trapped in Tradition' and never dare to break that trap!

On paper, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan's dimple must have sounded like a terrific story. A 27-year-old who has lived life as a wild child, growing up in London to a diplomat father, decides to settle down to an arranged marriage. But Katrina Kaif plays her role as a curiously blank piece of paper. It's difficult to imagine her as ever having been to a college (let alone a college called lady shri rao--yes, we know it's a joke). It's as difficult to imagine her as a rocker chick who carries beer in her thaila and smokes a bidi. And as one who thinks nothing of swilling bhang in the middle of a highway dhaba.
She tries hard, but if the movie stays even marginally afloat it is because of Imran Khan. He's boyish, charming as the sensible younger brother of the very self aware and very filmi Ali Zafar who plays the well heeled brother working and living in England, and has an extremely expressive set of eyebrows. The hapless expression should now be patented and is appealing to all slacker boys. It works very well, especially with declarations of "I love you" accompanied by the electric garland around his neck short circuiting. He's perfected his formula--he's a lover, with the soul of a comedian. Think Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na meets Delhi Belly.
Ali Abbas Zafar gets a lot right. The two formula friends, one of them, Mohammad Ayyub a far cry from the Manu Sharma of No One Killed Jessica. The progressive parents, the wonderful Parikshit Sahni and Kanwaljit Singh. And the setting, part Agra, part Dehradun (Zafar's home town) and a lot of Delhi. Imran plays as assistant director in Bollywood (whose film starring John Abraham has been a huge hit--now that's an improbability) and Katrina is the girl he thinks his brother would want to marry by Christmas. A large part of the film is a spoof--from Dabangg to My Name Is Khan. Some of it also an ode--from Padosan to Mughal e Azam. Some of it works, a lot of it doesn't.
The Koffee with Karan quickfire round on i-chat which serves as the girl's interview of her prospective groom, a scene where Katrina spirits away a sleeping Imran, and some witty dialogues which will no doubt be picked up--such as ladke pappu hote hain, lollipop dikhao sab bhool jate hain.
