I watched the movie in a houseful theatre and boy the excitement was real..
Going by the script, the trope is nothing unprecedented and neither is presentation anything groundbreaking. So if anyone has high hopes in these departments, they sure are in for a big disappointment.. The music is strictly average which is a big setback and more so considering the fact that it is a musical love story, the male lead is a singer and that the music is the catalyst that brings them together, tears them apart and brings them together again..
But once the movie rolls in you cannot just not feel and wish for a happy ending for the protagonists. Ocassional shoddiness are washed away in the gigantic waves of feelings that the young debutants evoke.. The movie may not have the sophistication, grandeur or finesse signature other filmmakers but it does have one thing in abundance.-- SOUL.
Both the leads are good at emoting through their eyes, both have shown the prowess of restrained performances, the female lead a tad bit more. The chemistry between the leads is neither sizzling nor crackling but it is heartbreakingly innocent and heartwarmingly raw. Hence, it tugs at the heartstrings, thus clicks when you least expect it to..
