this is actually a fair and civil response, thank you for keeping it clean instead of telling me to wake up in the real world like another has 😳

Well I am sorry you were personally attacked. I report all such posts, so don't worry, karma will take care of such people.

To be honest, I would've liked to see what becomes of Ranbir after she dies; I would've liked to see quite a few things to be explained to basically understand Ranbir's character. K.Jo shoves lots of light on ek-tarfa pyaar and all that, but he can't just leave all other characters' stories halfway done to keep justifying unrequited love and its trials

The running time of ADHM already exceeded 2.5 hours, so the editor probably cut them out - because I can vouch for the fact that many a scene were deleted. Practical problems.. not justifying but just trying to look at it from their perspective.

Marriage is a social/legal contract between two human beings.

Marriage can be a beautiful, tender, cherishable lifelong bond that connects two people deeply for a lifetime. At the same time marriage is complex, challenging, difficult and requires tremendous amount of maturity and compromise to make it work.

Because of the complex nature of marriage, sometimes it just does not work out. People grow up, grow apart. Life and times change. Things that were common are no longer there. Ambitions, dreams, hopes and aspirations are all in a different direction. Due to that people end up divorcing.

Barring some frivolous morons, no one takes divorce lightly. It is a whirlwind of emotions and not something taken lightly by most adults. I appreciate Karan Johar for daring to take a break from the sunshine and butterflies to show the unhappier side of love. Perhaps as a director, he has not been able to portray it in a light that is more digestible to audiences.

Alizeh leaves Ali even before they get married. But Ali comes back to her, asks for forgiveness, and since love is her weakness, she cant help but forgive him and marry him. But even after marriage he starts cheating again, so she divorces him. The fact that despite loving him a lot, she simply cannot put up with cheating and leaves is a really strong trait, especially when she knew she was going to die.

This is what I got out of that relationship as well. Personally, I feel it should be relatable to many people. Love makes people be with people who are unhealthy for them. So many people go through this, despite their friends and family telling otherwise. Even smart strong women (and men) fall in love with the wrong person. It takes a lot of strength and courage to realize that the person you loved and married is not good for you. Unfortunately, this aspect of Alizeh's relationship and subsequent fear of love gets ignored for Ayan's childish one sided love.

I feel like it was showcased well enough via quite a few dialogues (the rooftop scene in the beginning, the washroom scene near the end) for anyone who didn't want to be hit over the head with it but Ayan's characteristics evoked such a strong, visceral reaction that Alizeh or Saba's mindsets/convictions were forgotten/overlooked by many as inconsequential or non-existent. There's monologues by the female leads on their thought process, but apparently those were not enough...

One of my top questions coming out of this movie is on just how much the audience is ready to piece together themselves when they're "shown" and not necessarily "told" stuff in a mainstream movie that dares to explore a delicate space in relationships? From a lot of the confusion I've seen with regards to why characters acted the way they did or made the decisions they did, it feels like the answer to that is very little.
