THE PLOT –

The movie takes a potshot at several professionals in the Indian Film Industry even exploiting anecdotes and incidents from the yester-years.
Although seemingly slow-moving at times, debutante director Zoya Akhtar gets full marks for exploring definitive and fresh angles on taking shots and also for keeping the on-screen drama realistically subdued.
The story as such, meanders from one point to another without giving you much clue as to where it actually wants to go – but ends up at a beautiful juncture.
Don’t miss this one if you are one who admires the subtle nuances of film making.

THE CAST –

Farhan Akhtar and Konkona Sen Sharma share the role of the protagonist and do every bit of justice to the same.
Dimple Kapadia shows her acting prowess in all flavors while Rishi Kapoor, Juhi Chawla and Sanjay Kapoor are apt in their performances.
Hrithik Roshan and Isha Sharvani are appreciable and the whole ensemble of actors and actresses are pretty much to the demand of the script.

THE MUSIC –

Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy again come up all trumps with this score and make you wonder if the portrayals on-screen were thought of before or were they tuned to match the scores?
With all the hoopla surrounding the Slumdog score by Rehman, folks, even this soundtrack will make you realize the fact that the Indian Music Industry is leap years ahead of ordinary scores that are getting global recognition this year.
Pyaar Ki Daastaan and Sapno Se Bhare Naina are standout numbers.

THE VERDICT –

It’s not a movie every cine-goer will like – especially those who look for more twists and turns and umpteen stories in a single script.
If you long for a taste of a well made film – watch this one..!

THE SCORE –

6.50 / 10.00
