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



I agree with your review because when I went to watch the movie I was bracing myself for torture. It's not a pathbreaking movie , neither did it claim to be. I see massive improvement in Shraddha. The first half, people in the cinema were actually enjoying it a lot! Arjun no doubt has a connect with the common man.

To play devils advocate here, recently ADHM had a similar theme running throughout the movie. Madhav says the same thing as Ayan just in a different way ; in a more plush setting.

Love stories in India have always been this way , Chetan didn't write half girlfriend as a book but a film to begin with. This is what I felt when I even read the book 😆

All his stories are filmy except 5 point someone IMO.

@bold I liked Shraddha in the promos itself. She has really improved acting wise. I didn't like her at all in Baaghi.

The film is paced well,

definitely far better than Meri pyaari bindu

one time view...just wanted lean AK , Shraddha has good plausible emotions

rating 3 out of 5
