Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu (Translation: One me, and one you) is a
2012 Indian romantic comedy film written and directed by debutant Shakun Batra.
The film was produced by Karan Johar and Hiroo Yash Johar under the banner of Dharma
Productions, alongside Ronnie Screwvala of UTV Motion Pictures. The film
features Imran Khan and Kareena Kapoor in lead roles, with Ratna Pathak Shah,
Boman Irani and Ram Kapoor in supporting roles. The plot centers on an uptight
architect named Rahul Kapoor, living in Las Vegas, Nevada, who loses his job
and following a night of debauchery, accidentally marries a free-spirited
hairstylist named Riana Braganza. After mutually deciding to annul the
marriage, Rahul begins a one-sided attraction for Riana, which threatens to
ruin their newly found friendship.
Development of the film began in 2010, when Johar signed
Batra and Khan for a film to be made under his banner. Inspired by the Woody
Allen style of film-making, Ayesha Devitre and Batra worked on the script, with
principal photography taking place in Vegas, Los Angeles, Pataudi and Mumbai.
The music of the film was composed by Amit Trivedi with lyrics written by
Amitabh Bhattacharya. Originally slated to release during the fall of 2011, Ek
Main Aur Ekk Tu eventually released on 10 February 2012, to positive critical
notice, with major praise directed to Khan and Kapoor's performance, and proved
a moderate commercial success.
Rahul Kapoor (Imran Khan) has always been on the road to
perfection, as per the wishes of his domineering father (Boman Irani) and
socialite mother (Ratna Pathak Shah). After suddenly losing his job as an
architect in Vegas, he decides to hide the truth from his parents and find
another job. Unable to cope with unemployment, he decides to go to a
psychologist and runs into another patient, Riana Braganza (Kareena Kapoor). A
series of events lead Riana to believe that he is sent by her ex-boyfriend to
stalk her, and she ends up taking his file by mistake.
Riana, who later realizes her mistake, calls him and
apologizes for her behavior. They meet up during Christmas Eve and Riana
invites Rahul to have a few drinks with her. A few drinks turn into a night of
intoxicated revelry as they end up marrying each other. Horrified, they both decide
to get it annulled as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Riana, who is also
unemployed and has not paid her rent, loses her house and an initially hesitant
Rahul finally lets her stay with him till her problem gets resolved. During
these few days, they get to know each other better. Rahul is revealed to be
interested in photography while Riana recounts her ambition to be a ballet
dancer, which was destroyed after she broke her ankle in her childhood. Their
friendship develops as Riana gives Rahul a long break he always wanted. As they
grow closer, Rahul develops feelings for Riana, who fails to reciprocate them.
