My review
Contains spoilers
As movie has been nearly done and dusted, I can't be called a conspirator š. So I hope I am allowed to give my review.
Good things first
1) Vaani Kapoor. This girl dances like a dream, acts very well and also looks good. Don't go by promos, coz it had only her worst looks.
Move away Katrina, we have a better dancer who can act.
She owns the character, makes audience root for us. Watch her expressions in opening scene when RS calls her a s**t. That's solid acting, without any loud OTT drama .
5/5 to her for acing the accent . She owns the audience and makes us root for her.
2) Paris - Its free Paris tourism. That top of Eiffel Tower proposal was like most romantic proposal in world !!
3) Shyra's Mom and Dad were ace !! I wish to see her mom in more movies. She was hilarious in DDD.
4) RS - He is playing his loud self. But he hams in emotional scenes and that butt show wasn't necessary at all !! Still he manages to do this shitty role with utmost sincerity. He is intelligent enough to know that this wasn't going to work. It never shows on his performance. A job is a job and one has to give 200% to it. RS managed to show his dedication towards the job.
Bitter Truth
Its a bad movie. When you have a predictable story, TREATMENT counts. We all know that Shayra and Dharam will end up together, we wanted to see a beautiful journey.
YRF made a beautiful movie on live in - Salaam Namaste. Why did they not lift the ideas from there? Two different personalities sharing a house brings so many troubles !! They concentrated on just irritating each other by switching on and off the lights!!
Getting back as friends and their love story with others wasn't convincing at all.
Lots of homophobic jokes and cliched things like Dharam gets back to sex life and Shyra doesn't. But its how men and women react, so I'll let it go. Many can't.
Climax was most horrible thing in BW. Even DDD's climax looks decent after watching this.
Last Word
There was no need of a so many kissing scenes or nudity in the story. There was no need for "I dare you" and criminal things they end up doing in name of dare. It all could have ended in a super fun movie if these two characters had a story that we can relate to.
Its all Adi's fault. Not watching any movie that he directs till it has strong WOM.
