Director Kallol Sen trieds to portray a sensitive and serious issue in a light hearted and easy going manner. A veritable merry go round of relationships, it promises to be something akin to what was dished out in Masti. Having hit the theatres on June 8, 2007, this summer fare, replete with new faces, seems to be drawing crowds from mostly in the cities.

Complete with an English tag line in the fashion of most Bollywood offerings today, yet another fare in the genre of relationships in urban India comes in the form of Kabhi Socha Bhi Na Tha. It is in reality a journey towards desire because there is adequate love, lust, sex which may be what is drawing the crowds in the first place but what is missing is the main ingredient…the feel of actual desire.
Following in the footsteps of ventures like Life in a ….Metro, Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd, Corporate and Just Married, KSBNT looks at relationships between a set of men and women, related or part of the same social setup, decreed by fate to come across one another in the most peculiar of ways.
Neel [Dibyendu Bhattacharya] and Ritu [Seema Mishra] find themselves in a similar situation. They are a couple for more than a year but this cannot withstand the test of time as cracks start showing up in their relationship even before the movie reaches Intermission. Given the sensitive live-in relationship they are in, it is primarily the lack of commitment that catalyzes Neel’s explorations outside his home and relationship.
He develops a crush on Diya [Sandhya Shetty], his partner Ritu’s bosom buddy, and a model by profession. Diya is famous and rich but without a steady partner and uncertain about committing to something long term, she gives in to a relationship with no strings attached.
Her bosom pal Sukhi [Rishi Khurana] is also in the same boat. He errs in thinking of his seven days long relationships with women as love. Rebuffed in his attempts at wooing by his psychological counsellor Radhika [Madhoo], who prefers women to men, he is left high and dry and yes…without a partner.
And then there is Ozzy [Vishal Vatwani]. A failure when it comes to women, his past 13 romances have not taught him very much. He desires Ritu and longs for her secretly but does not have the nerve to come out into the open with his feelings. So will Ritu be the 14 th and adorn the list of failed affairs? Or will he succeed this time?
What follows is predictable. A maze of relationships where everyone wants what does not belong to him anyway. Neel and Ritu live with each other. Neel yearns for Diya, Diya is happy by herself. Sukhi desires Radhika, Radhika prefers a woman while Ozzy admires Ritu.
In this scheme of things, how does Ritu fare? Has fate something better for her?
Come find out in KABHI SOCHA BHI NAHI THA.
