Generalizations and Sexism are at the core of PKP movies. And that doesn't really make it bad. People liked the first one, didn't they? So, why a 6/10?
Well, this movie is a slight improvement to the last one, but still there are a lot of things that don't work. Even if we ignore the constant sexism this movie portrays, it is a little strange that every happy/sad/"katta" moment for every couple, happens at the same time. They even have their first dates and break up on the same day. It's like the six people were dating each other! Got on my nerves cause it's practically impossible. Especially considering how the three couples were COMPLETELY different than each other.
And don't even get me started on the background score. It is a little better than the previous movie, but still annoying as hell. Felt a bit like I was watching an Indian MTV show.
Then the fact that this is a A-Rated flick, but still all the curse words are bleeped out. Even the word "gha**a" (bell). Like.. Seriously? What is this, 1990? You can do better, Indian Censor Boards! By that logic this movie should have been at least U/A. But NOPE. Made it more annoying.
Along with that, a lot of the "jokes", especially near the end were merely laughter at the pitiful state of the guys. I mean, being a guy and living in the same world as them, I was empathizing with their situation. Laughing at someone's pitiful situations is NOT COOL. Were these emotional moments? No. Were they supposed to be? Yes. But no, everything is good because it's a comedy flick aimed at the male population and laughs are supposed to be delivered. If they deliver even a bit of "feelings", the movie will no longer be a d**k-flick.
And the last but not the least, almost nothing shown in the movie is REAL. It's just an exaggeration of all the things that actually happen. Fiction, eh?
I understand the hype! And I clearly understand why almost all guys relate to this movie. But a 10/10 movie is supposed to be more than just merely entertaining whilst bordering on offensiveness.
To summarize, entertaining (loved the monologue!), a fairly fun movie to watch, but LITERALLY nothing more than that.
