Why did mausam movie fail? - Page 2

Didn't watch the filam yet.

There were some nice romantic moments. Some good songs.

I don't think there was enough hype for the movie :/

bakwas could not stand it, in spite of going with a close group of friends in the cinemas, only the songs were good

even i went with my friends and i was the only one who sat through the entire movie.all my friends walked out.till the end only 5 people were sitting in the theatre.

They tried to do too many things, there were riots, Kargil war and they keep separating. The climax wad so long and cheesy. Unfortunately I took my entire family to watch it because I loved the songs and trailer🤢

It was a wannabe movie shahid looked fake and I cannot stand sonam

Personally, I think it could've been a great story to watch specially for hopeless romantics like myself. They had great music to build the mood, the lead actors shared the correct kind of intense chemistry required in a star-crossed love story and the old-world charm. But I also agree with the one who said that such people who still like eternal love stories are a very minor part of cinegoers these days.

However, I do feel this is beyond it being a taste issue. I feel Pankaj Kapur failed to translated his vision of telling a tale of love, separation and reunion on the screen. He gave too much importance to 'what' separated Harry and Aayat with little emphasis on how these separations affected them as individuals and as people in love. In all my favourite Bollywood romances, it is the characters who shone and left a mark. But in this film, one couldn't root for the reunion of these two because the audience was never given a chance to invest in it's characters or their love story.

Poor editing was definitely a another major reason. Like someone mentioned, there were so many 'separating events' that one stopped caring beyond a point. For example, the whole 9/11 chunk and Switzerland bit could've easily been chopped off. What an unnecessary misunderstanding! And like many have pointed out, the erratic screenplay also made it a tiresome film to watch.

It was not a bad movie,It was just too slow :/

I agree with everyone else, the screen play was the problem. I think it was a great concept though. It just didn't get executed very well. Some of the details seemed contrived. Like how in the early to mid 90s the only way that an educated Ayat could think of reaching a military personnel Hary was through his old friends back in his old village 😕
