I didn't like it - One of the very few persons perhaps who disliked the movie. I thought it wouldn't have been such a blockbuster hadn't it been for Imran-Genelia's cuteness and the whole curiosity behind Aamir Khan's nephew. It was Aamir Khan's nephew, there had to be something after all. I thought the story was just a jumble of love stories we've seen, tested, tried before, just with different settings, and a wall picture as father that could talk. Nothing impressive, nothing to take my breath away.
The lead pair's friendship was awesome, their chemistry wasn't. But then I guess that's how it was, since they're supposed to be friends. I loved the dance bit in that friend's party though. In that bit, Imran-Genelia actually looked like they were crazy for each other. Very well acted in that bit.
Oh I LOVED the songs. All of them. And all of them beautiful done. That was the saving grace of the movie for me, alongside Prateik Babbar. The songs were soulful, new and peppy. Pappu can't dance and Kabhi Kabhi Aditi set a new style and level in Bollywood music. They showed unconventional songs work big time too, you've just got to aim the arrow right at the bull's eye.
Truly, I don't remember any of the characters much. They weren't impressive to me, at all. But Prateik Babbar was amazing. He stole the show, and what a performance. He looked so deranged, yet SO in control of himself. That was brilliant and realistic acting. He'll really go far if he continues along that path.
I don't know. I'd give 2 perhaps, .5 more just for the amazing songs that I liked, so overall 2.5/5.
Hmm, I don't say I don't like the idea. I just think it was poorly executed though. I think one should make such love stories, but make them come out nice too, and pleasant to the eyes. This just seemed too much of a jumble up to be truthful. Genelia was great but Imran didn't impress me much. Well he still hasn't that said, though I haven't watched IHLS yet. I hope that's going to change my impression of him as an actor, since as a person, he seems really superb! He should get rid of that one-face expression in his movies, which is upcoming since JTYJN. Other than that, obviously Babbar was excellent.
