Movie Review: Anjaana Anjaani: Star Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Zayed Khan, Tanvi Azmi and others; Director: Siddharth Anand; Rating: *** – All The Greatest Love Stories Are Between Strangers.

Director Sidharth Anand has come back with his latest offering that provides a unique take on the generic Rom-coms. Anjana Anjani is not your typical 'Boy Meets Girl' love story; it is unique in its own way. This is a love story between two strangers who meet under unusual circumstances and manage to find love.

NYC boy Akash (Ranbir Kapoor) and Kiara (Priyanka Chopra) are not satisfied with their lives and want to commit suicide. The strangers come across one another during one such attempt and find out that they do not have nerves required to commit the act. So the duo plan to help each other out and become partners in death (sounds corny right?). What ensues is a 20-day road trip that takes the couple all over scenic locales all over America.

The two characters are fed up with life and do not want to live any longer but they end up enjoying each other's company. Kiara and Akash embark on across-country trip with death as their destination but they find love instead.

The movie is filled with a lot of comic moments, which although predictable but still manage to gather quite a few laughs from the audience. The dance tracks and song sequences are a high point of the movie. The chemistry between Priyanka and Ranbir is fantastic and they complement each other's acting. The characters are pretty believable and you will surely love the light-hearted fun of Anjana Anjani.

Anjana Anjani review

01October

Bollywood11:20 am

Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Zayed Khan; Director: Siddharth Anand; Raitng: 3 out of 5.

A film based on relationships with just two central protagonists is a challenging premise and more difficult to tackle. You don't have the liberty of add-on characters, side-tracks or even momentary breaks and fillers. A film of this kind is largely dependant on the screenplay and the chemistry between the lead pair. That's what makes Sajid Nadiadwala's Anjaana Anjaani, directed by Siddharth Malhotra, unique in its own way and rather different from what you've seen in the year so far. It's the story of Kiara (Priyanka Chopra) and Akash (Ranbir Kapoor) who meet one night during the worst point in their lives. They've given up all hope and want to end their lives. After a few failed attempts, they both realise that perhaps they have some unfinished business to take care of before their time is up. They give themselves 20 days in which to complete their mission and then meet their end together. They make a pact to spend these days making all their dreams come true. In the process, the inevitable happens and come D-day, things change.

Although it's been said that the premise has been lifted from a few foreign films including Girl On The Bridge, this is quite a novel effort by Siddharth Malhotra. A truly defining love story comes along rarely – the rest all tell the same stories in different ways. Malhotra, who has given us Salaam Namaste and Bachna Ae Haseeno earlier, begins this one at a leisurely pace. He spends a good amount of time establishing his two main characters because they're the crux of the film. Once you're engaged with Kiara and Akash, there's no looking back. You laugh with them, enjoy their antics, understand their predicaments and root for them. Just when you feel things are slackening a bit, Malhotra adds a twist and revs up the proceedings. A love story without new faces is a tough task but the film's freshness lies in the romantic quotient between Kiara and Akash. From their failed suicide attempts to their escapades on land and in water, it's a fun-filled ride. The second half is actually when the film gets into full gear when the couple embarks on a road trip across the United States. Impeccably shot, the film is a visual treat with producer Sajid Nadiadwala going all the way to give it that larger-than-life feel. Anjaana Anjaani is not a complicated love story; it's still heartfelt and even heartbreaking at times. The performances are top-notch — Priyanka Chopra is at her casual and spontaneous best. She embraces the character completely and makes it totally believable. Ranbir Kapoor continues his rock-steady run and is one of the main factors that make the film so poignant. From facing failure to rediscovering joy to coping with pain, he captures every emotion beautifully in the role of a lifetime. It's amazing how this young actor scales a new high with every film and every performance. Tanvi Azmi and Suneha Khanna in bit roles are delightful.

The inconsistency in the pace of the film is a hindrance. There are also clich s that Malhotra could've avoided. The cheating boyfriend asking for forgiveness and then driving his ex-girlfriend to her new love is a bit outdated. The director also hasn't focused much on his lead pair's relationships with other characters, which leaves many gaps. A lot of the second half reminds you of Jab We Met — that's where the screenplay needed some new quotient. A love story works wonders when embellished with great music — except two tracks, Anjaana Anjaani doesn't offer anything exceptional on that front. That's why when the songs try to take the story forward, the result isn't as effective. The Zayed Khan track, irrespective of its length, needed one strong scene to enhance the character.

Get romantic in the season of action. Watch AA to believe in love once more.

okay, so I watched it. and liked it. maybe not alot, but I liked it. hindi rom-coms usually piss me off, but this one managed to actually make me smile so I'd say, yeah, it must have done something right ;)
here goes my review -
story is pretty simple, akash and kiara are pissed off with their lives and no longer have any inspiration to live. they decide to end their lives, and chance upon the same bridge on the same night. by some twist of fate, they're unable to suicide and continue to fail for the next few attempts. therefore, they decide to give their lives a chance for the next 20 days, and do whatever they've always wanted to do. their journey together forms the remaining crust of the film.
what really is endearing to watch is how these two people gradually regain their faith in the spirit of life, albeit not realizing it consciously along the way. they do everything they've always wanted to do - swim in the ocean, dance, drink, go to las vegas etc. in retrospect, it might seem rather inconceivable, but while watching the film, you're already so connected to the characters of kiara and akash, that it doesn't really matter anymore. that's another thing that I really liked - character development. each of them had distinct traits, and the director spent ample time in familiarizing the audience with them. which is why, when at the end, kiara and akash fall in love, you don't wonder - why did they fall in love again?
the chemistry between PC and ranbir is amazing - another factor why this film works. indivisually, both of them did a great job. I'm a fan of subdued performances so I'd say that I personally liked ranbir a tad bit more. priyanka's character is not like geet from JWM at all (I say this because I've came across alot of comparison) - because kiara, unlike geet, is someone who wraps a thick layer of 'chirpiness' around herself, and yet carries alot of hurt within her heart.
what doesn't work is, like alot of people mentioned, the lack of 'realness' - it is coated with too much glitz, and perhaps two people who are about to die would not be so glamorous. had it been a bit more toned down, it would have been a better experience.
music is great, my favourite songs are tujhe bhula diya, tumse hi tumse and the title track :)
overall, a good experience, go if you're in the mood to smile. it's a feel-good film and you'll find yourself smiling for the most part.
3.5/5 :)
p.s - ranbir sheds his shirt quite a few times, so it's a bonanza for girls 😉

I'm going with one out of five for director Siddharth Anand's "Anjaana Anjaani". Ranbir and Priyanka spend the entire film trying to kill themselves. In the end, as you may have guessed, they decide against it. But there's a good chance you may want to.

Rating: 1 / 5

LMAOOO😆😆....

Says a renowned critic, "ANJAANA ANJAANI is opening to packed plexes. It's worth a watch. If you are a romantic, or even if you are not, ANJAANA ANJAANI is a must-see for its interpretation of modern-day romance"

If that wasn't enough the film is also doing brilliantly in the overseas market - In Dubai itself the film took an opening of 4.75 beating the likes of other films like AJAB PREM KI GHAZAB KAHANI (3.92) and RAAJNEETI.(4.69).
