Would you love a man like Ved?

Ved's character in Tamasha , was so damn complicated. And he behaved and had that bipolar thing going on..

She had fallen deeply for him even before she discovered his other, complicated side and hence couldn't be with any other guy in those 4 years before meeting him again. Her love for him was pretty deep, therefore she just couldn't let go of him when she saw how troubled he was in life. Tara's love for Ved was the rare kind that had developed so deeply in just those few days they spent together in Corsica. So, I am not sure whether she would have still fallen for him so deeply had she seen his other side before coming across the fun, witty Ved she met in Corsica. Her love for the Corsica Ved made her love the Delhi Ved more as she realised he needed help.

no, as fun as ved was in corsica, the side to him that was in delhi was too extreme, i mean i cud hav understood if he was in a deep depression and was severely upset, but the way he was acting was bordering on insanity, jumping on the board meeting table and dancing, the way he was acting with his boss wen he was getting fired, how mean and heartless he was to tara, he was putting her through so much and it wasnt her fault at all, i understand that he wasnt happy with his life, but then that doean't mean he shud act like that

Honestly, to like or understand Ved, one needs to be a little like Ved or at least have someone in their life who is like Ved. I frankly would have never understood the character had I not seen similar behavior in my life. Imtiaz went shockingly deep in his portrayal of Ved's character. I understand why some wouldn't have understood his behavior in the second half, but that doesn't mean the portrayal wasn't right or too complicated. It was rather very simple to understood for those who could.

The film was badly executed by Imtiaz IMO. Ved is a character which almost every person who feels suffocated in a corporate milieu should have related to. Imtiaz instead made him extreme and crazy and gave a pretty idealistic and impractical solution to the issue like most films do. I personally related to a lot of scenes in the second half. The whole 'suppressing your real personality to fit in', 'forcing yourself to behave a certain way', 'that moment when you really want to smack your boss and show him your middle finger' etc etc. I particularly love the scene where Ved goes after this guy at the party after he asks him how he is doing. And Ved goes crazy about how no one really wants to know how you are doing and its just asked for formality (I really did relate to that 😆). But Imtiaz went extreme in certain scenes and the resolution to the conflict was particularly underwhelming. In reality, its not always that easy to make a choice. Its not easy to quit a well paying corporate job and pursue a passion which may or may not pay you well. Its over-simplification in a way and finishing the film just because you are running past 2 hours. Also the first half was horribly executed. So it essentially was a great concept gone wrong because of Imtiaz and his love for pseudo-intellectualism 😆 To answer your question, I din't find the Corsica Ved charming and while the second half had relatable bits, he is definitely not a guy I'd fall in love with. Come to think of it, Jordan was equally obnoxious 😆

exactly, i agree with that, the concept of the film had so much potential, it cud hav been a good film, but imtiaz did not execute it well, he made ved into someone not many people cud relate to, some even thought ved was bipolar and i dont think imtiaz wanted people to think that, imtiaz cud hav made a simple film about a mans struggle with following the status quo and not being able to follow his dreams, many people wud hav related to that, but he made ved into someone so complicated and unappealing

well like u said to understand him u wud need to know someone like him, and i dont think many people know someone like ved, maybe some people do act like him but then we can agree it is extreme behaviour, its true he does need help but in reality him just talking to his dad isn't the solution, a real life ved wud need physiological help and counselling, he has deep rooted problems and nobody really spoke to him about those problems in detail in the film

On that note, the film had amazing dialogues in the second half. This one's my favorite-
