Watched the movie..still 50 minutes to go so haven't seen the twist yet.

Didn't understand though how Sid and DP fell for eachother so soon..no connect nothing.. just couple of meets n they r totally into eachother.

DP...still can understand ..she always resented the fact that her cousin had a good life and lavish lifestyle while she lost out on that..and she had a struggling BF while her cousin was engaged to a suave, rich businessman.

But what was the catch for Sid? What interested him so much as to risk his personal, professional life and whole reputation for this girl?

physical attraction and emotional maturity of dp...also better in bed

Not sure if you saw that yet

It’s watchable. one time watch. the promos are sooo misleading. And especially when it comes to the chemistry part. Don’t know which genius was behind the editing for the promos. Cause the product didnt deliver that.

If you know the domestic noire genre from hollywood movies it’s definitely not up to the mark. Must be nice for Bollywood as a change cause someone tried this with a known actress but yeah could have been better and Shakun is the wrong director to explore this genre cause…..

I get what Shakun was trying to do but he should have stick to one topic and not adding to much that you lose the whole plot and are confused where to weighting the story. Guess that’s why people have a problem with the depth.I mean at the end I really cared and felt only for one thing and Nasseruddin Shah plays a big part. Not wanting to give always much.
The editing was the actual enemy of the movie. And better supporting actors wtih much experiences definetely would have lifted the messy screenplay. Definitely not including nasser and rajat. Not much to do but they eeally rise above with what they had.

Deepika finally got a meaty role and she delivered. Her fans definitely shouldn’t miss it or those who like to watch her should give it a try. She looked so beautiful. These contemporary roles are her strength and Shakun brought those strength into the forefront. Displaying certain emotions in silence or her crying scenes are amazing. Her only weakness is when she has to get loud cause her dialogue delivery falls flat and that was always her problem but I must say she improved a lot.

She did all with her beautiness to create the chemistry but nope the promos were misleading. Actually the opposite happens in movies but this is a different case and I don’t know whose fault it is. If it’s the editing or the lead actor.

Mc Sher was a BIG dissapointment. He was not unbearable bad but average to decent. It’s not like I can say wooow no one other than him could have done this role. I was like damn an opportunity wasted for an actor with much more experience. Heavy emotions scenes and confrontation scenes a big let down. He wasn’t charming at all and the Build up was so bland. Really didn’t care and I expected so much going by the promos. I think him and Ananya had more chemistry then with deepika. A better actor could have done wonders with that character

Well comeing to ananya. A big suprise. Could have somebody played that part better? Definitely the emotional scenes but for the rest she was pleasantly suprising. She was okay.

The dialogues were average and the F- word didn’t come out naturally. It was forced and I was extremely annoyed by the end.

The last 35-45 min are the only good part and deepika is the reason for it. Her beauty plays a big part too.

Karan did good to bring it out on OTT. This is definitely not a theater experience cause most people wouldn’t even watch it till interval.

But domestic noir in general is better to watch at home than theater.

All over people are saying the movie deals with complex emotions which I totally disagree with. Actually this is the irony and the reason the makers had thought a portrayal like this will click with the millennials. Because we are a petty and an open ended generation. We don’t know what satisfies us. We just want to keep chasing because well that’s what brings the rush but as soon as we are faced with the mildest inconveniences, we make life altering decisions at a spur of the moment.

What’s complex in it when 99% of millenials are the same😂 Selfish, petty and chasing the unachievable. Its quite dumb for a 30 yo Alisha to believe her mom committed suicide because her dad made her move from Mumbai to Nasik. No reference was given to this story (Despite this being shown as a reason of major trauma for the protagonist) It was nowhere stated that Deepika’s mother was obsessed with money or property or she had any big dreams which she was devoid of by bringing her to Nasik. Hence within half an hour into the movie it was clear her mother had someone in Mumbai she loved and couldn’t live without. Supposedly righteous Deepika shouting on a rather slout Naseer was a dead giveaway the narrative is gonna take a 180 degree turn.

While I agree it is very easy for a kid to relate to a mother’s trauma and not to a father’s because father’s dont reveal their emotions but still moving from Mumbai to Nasik as a reason of suicide and basing a very smart woman’s entire anxiety on it made less sense to me and I found it to be a very loose plot point.

Its funny how when Naseer accepts in front of Deepika that yes her mom cheated him, she immediately removes all her allegations on him and feels sorry for mistreating him but she never feels sorry for her cousin like she feels for Naseer. She did the same to Ananya’s character what her mom did. Situational morality - Again a very not so complex and commonly found trait of millennials.

Siddhant’s character was anything but complex. Though people are at times caught up between right and wrong or may be two rights and two wrongs but he was clearly an opportunist and plain selfish. Went where he saw benefit.

Ananya and Dhairya didn’t have much to do they were just normal mediocre people caught in first world problems like mujhe kam nahin party karni hai and I have to plan my wedding type log.

My final review of the film would be that it made me feel very petty as a millennial . Funny how we totally change our moral compass even with the slightest of inconvenience. Funny how we give so much importance to ourselves that we are ok with any bullshit if someone chooses us. Funny how we always expect sympathy in the name of mental health and anxiety( Not trying to mock real mental health issues here) but i hate when first world problems are deemed as trauma or character traits. Deepika is shown like a girl who always expects things to be perfect or settled or in place. When her bf doesn’t have a job she has anxiety, when her studio closes she has anxiety. Basically she is a control freak and that somehow doesn’t relate to her mom’s death. No connection! Did she ever try to find out why exactly her mom committed suicide. Generally people who seek medication for mental illness also see therapist and the first line of treatment is talking the patient through his past life and then medicines come in picture. Deepika is only shown reflecting on her trauma as a kid. But she never tries to relate present with that trauma. She never tries to notice that her dad never mistreats her or that she can ask about her mom from her aunt or Ananya. Rather Ananya’s character is more self aware and trying to make the mends or reason out always.

This is just a wannabe movie which has jumbled up all the buzz words like suicide, anxiety, messed up, startup, investment, infidelity and definitely it buzzes with the audience. It’s actually a mirror that what a petty, weak and anxious generation are we. Not an iota to be proud of! Yup roz yacht pe ghumna is a first world problem and please dont make it a reason for mental trauma ki meri cousin ke paas hai mere paas nahin like are you serious?! Kaunse privileged world mein rehte hain aap?

THISSS

I think despite all the crap that happens in the movie , and all the focus being on deepikas character being “stuck”..there is never any empathy for her coz of these reasons …

Heck there isn’t even empathy for ananya and the other guy even tho they were being cheated on

Everyone seems hollow, superficial and self sabotaging…there is no complexity or gehraaiyan here..they are all shit people who think it’s ok to mistreat person A because person B in the past treated them badly ..,it’s like sophisticated “race” kinda Abbas mastan movie and except those are atleast mildly entertaining ..

Alisha believed it as a kid why her mother died. And nobody told her what actually happened so she kept blaming her dad
