Feel good movie. Entertaining! Watch it for the scenic beauty and Alia Bhatt!

You may look forward to:

• Alia Bhatt, undoubtedly! I never liked this new lad on her debut. But this lad can act :) And this movie is made for her. Watch her with every meticulous expression on her face, somewhere stupid, but thats how the character is after all :) She looks small but bubbly :)
• Randeep Hooda, we would have loved some more of him. He didnt have much to do. Was easy for him wearing almost the same expression all through the movie. But we still love him :)
• Beautiful captures of the various facets of a highway, and amazing Himachal Pradesh, it tempts you! Big screens does the wonder :)
• Imtiaz Ali made a nice presentation which makes this movie worth a watch. Without him, the script was pretty much lame to carry it off alone on the shoulders of the actors
• After a long time, one movie so clean. Not a single slang, nor unnecessary sex. Though you could still say that the story demanded it, but yet it can be done without physical intimacy, and thankful to Imtiaz for giving a clean and nice watch. Fed up of obscenity

 

 

What you can sleep over:

• A.R. Rehman's music. It doesnt make any difference anymore. Boring music, nothing special. The most irritating of them was the lulla-by
• The script, is pretty loose. No Kidnapper is so cool and so easy going. If such can be the case, i would love to get kidnapped someday :P

The dampeners you should be aware of:

• The rest of the movie past Randeep Hooda is extremely slow and may tend to feel pretty boring. Though with patience, the content is good, but it easy to lose patience. Could have been a little fast paced
• The entire story is more or less impractical and more of fantasy drama. Given that, the end should have been "Happy ever after" as well. Would be more appreciated. Cant digest a practical end while the rest of the movie is almost like a fairy tale

My rating: 3.5/5 (Only for a beautiful experience that it gives)
