I dont think Shraddha has any real star power... otherwise Rock On 2 and Ok Jaanu would have also been hits. The audience only wants to see her in a certain kind of singing dancing pretty girl roles.

Arjun, idk the reason behind his films opening above expectation.

As for the film itself, everyone always knew it was going to be a decent entertainer and had several factors going for it- overall liked music, Mohit Suri's style of romance, Shraddha and Chetan Bhagat.

yeah but that way we cannot even credit mohit and music or else Hamari Adhuri Kahani would not have been a big flop or at least opened good..
i feel audience like shradha in certain roles..clearly rock on 2 didn't have that..as for ok janu..that remains a mystery how that movie did so so bad..

I am quite sure HAK would have done much better if the leads were hot looking stars...
Not saying Vidya and Emran are ugly or anything but their heydays have gone a long time ago..

And despite being a flop, I have quite a few members in this forum saying they liked the film, its underrated and all...

What i am saying is Mohit Suri's sappy romances may not be critic classics or held in high regard in social media... but they have their audience.

@bold
Thats what i just said.

arjun has a strong pull in BO

i now believe him when he says daal chawal.people like him..he draws in a certain audience

2 states opened well
ki and ka
and now HG

he has a certain section who always watch his movies..

even his flop tevar opened above 7cr

based on these..i cannot alone give credit to shradha

hotness is only limited to online polls or else sid malhotra's films be doing well..

Yeah man Arjun is underrated... if being fat shamed he can pull audience, imagine him being fit like ishaqzaade...he can give competition to varun.. But if haseena got hit tag somehow shraddha will be in superstar league

@cougar and pallavi
I think arjun not being hot worked in favour of this movie . Story meant to show that he could never get someone like shraddha and uske liye itna pagal hona ki newyork mein bar to bar jaana banta tha bhai 😳

Watched the movie
SPOILER ALERT!!!

not half as bad as the critics made it seem like

i enjoyed it..thoroughly entertaining..beautiful music

the execution and direction is very tight..so despite the story being nothing extra-ordinary..you do not feel bored

the characters are extremely well developed and there are substantial moments where you start investing in them

coming to performances, Shradha was really good. One of her better performances for sure. She was particularly brilliant in that one scene where she opens up to Arjun about domestic violence she and her mother faced

Arjun is brilliant. He gets into the skin of his character. Nails the bihari accent and gives an amazing performance. He is for sure here to stay and that is not only to nepotism but also the fact that he can actually act and here he gives one of his best performances

the guy playing his friend was brilliant as well

Songs are so beautiful and very appropriately placed

Drawback was definitely the ending..seemed a bit rushed

Nonetheless an enjoyable experience

I would also like to say that please go.with your instincts. Do not make decisions based on critics.

I made the mistake when i went for Meri Pyaari Bindu after watching anupama's review and it was terrible to the T and here i was about to make the same.mistake of giving it a miss but i let it decide for myself not based on any one else's reviews

I am not saying it only coz i liked the movie and critics didn't..just that lets not make their reviews as some gospil truth coz there for sure are many agendas and biases going around there..so lets decide it for ourselves..

I am going with 3 stars
