This movie has been in Buzz for the last 1 month or so due to various reasons. I'll not discuss those as most of us are already aware about the same. But is the movie worth the hype that it managed to generate ? Well the answer is Yes and a No. i.e is partially some scenes are brilliant whereas you will sense mediocrity after that.
Story revolves in 3 to 4 sub plots that give us the introduction of the characters.
We are Introduced to Tommy Singh ( Shahid Kapoor) a pop star who speaks and creates music that is vulgar and loud ..may be reference to Honey Singh who knows.. Anyways he is best at what a Celebrity Rock star here a Pop star can do and is deep into drugs and has his own challenges with his music and his life.
2nd Alia Bhatt referred to a Bihari Girl who was a state level Hockey player and now forced to work in farms in Punjab. Wants to make big by selling theft drugs which ultimately ruins her life and her challenge overcoming the same.
3rd Sartaj Singh ( Diljit Dosanjh) a Cop who wants to eradicate the Drug mafia when he comes to know his younger brother is into drugs by taking help of Preet Sahani (Kareena Kapoor) a Doctor working at rehabilitation for the Drug addicts.
The Characters are linked as victims. You will not see a direct link among st the major characters , Kareena and Shahid do not even have a single scene together. Alia is also introduced to Shahid during the 2nd half.
Overall the directors attempt to expose the drug situation in Punjab is commendable but the movie goes kid dish in parts...
This movie could have been a notch higher if the director could have worked hard on the climax. The Plot seemed to be hassled towards the end. And people killing each other so easily gives you a laugh. The entire hard work that was put in to build the plot was wasted in the end and how many times do we see this in Hindi movies . No resolution was given at the end and it is up to the viewers to decide what happens.
Though Alia and Shahid do have a happy ending don't know how? The director never gave the explanation how the protagonists got away after killing people
Acting .. Shahid is in Top form and gives a scintillating performance after Haider, Alia has experimented a lot in this movie and was De glamorized for the role though at times she looks quite out of sorts playing a Bihari girl. Kareena is OK Diljit Dosanjh does a good job.. Overall the movie is sleek and shows the problem in Punjab with sincerity. Go watch the movie for some good acting and the truth of Punjab problem
