ZNMD in front of DCH - over the top

So, now I watched ZNMD when it released and I knew in the back of my head that this was somewhat influenced by DCH..I liked ZNMD, but now that I saw DCH with full attention..I realized how ZNMD seemed like a wannabe, modern version of DCH..it was over the top and the chemistry btwn Farhan, Abhay & Hrithik was nothing when compared to that of the trio from DCH. I actually would go on to say I find ZNMD overrated now. 😕 I liked Farhan & Abhay in the film..but Hrithik was as always over the top..and personally thought he was the weakest link..but in DCH, everything and everyone seemed perfect.

Conclusion: DCH which was made what? more than 10 yrs ago yet seems timeless and acceptable as a film even today..while a film like ZNMD which was just around 2 yrs back, is just not as genuine. 😕

p.s I'm comparing these 2 in specific for obvious reasons. ZNMD is definitely inspired by DCH..but it's weak sauce now when that I've seen DCH with full attention. 😆 (yeah, better late than never)

is it just me or does anyone else feel that way?

yeah..but it was kind of wannabe-ish. ..maybe because Hrithik was trying too hard? 😆

..but I feel Zoya tried too hard..whereas Farhan was more genuine with his effort.

More or less, DCH seems to have set this trend..and just because every films on friendship and living life does decent..doesn't mean it's extraordinary..that's the case with ZNMD too in my opinion..I'm sure some would disagree as it did do well after all.

While DCH had perfect chemistry between the trio!!

Znmd is like new version of DCH. But a Failed version

But if ZMND would have come in 2012 it would have been easily forgetten given the quality of films in 2012.

ZMND is a highly overrated movie and it was not even entertaining in any way. The industry went gaga over it because of Farhan and Zoya's connections and the media due to lack of choice.
