Mushy Romantic movie
28 July 2016
Now, there is lot going against this movie - Very loose screenplay, routine predictable story which has played out so many times before (heroine dying of cancer) being very prominent among them. No doubt, it has been panned harshly by critics in formal reviews and not giving it much change of playing out. BUT, BUT, at the same time, it does few things going for it, which makes it a sweet, emotional watch. Firstly, the lead pair - Harshvaradhan and Mawra - both new to the Hindi movie scene - lend the story a freshness and their acting and chemistry makes it a joyful watch. Mawra imbues the role with vulnerability and sweetness, which makes one overlook the glaring flaws in her character. And playing her opposite, HarshaV as the brooding hulk with problems of his own (again, very weakly scripted), rises above the script to complement the pair. Songs are terrific and fleet in and out at the right time and not like fillers to the story. Thankfully the directors don't stretch out the climax or make the events around the cancer too dragging. There are no spoilers here, since the movie itself is told in flashback.

Overall, a nice romantic mushy watch with nice songs and well acted by lead pair.
