Break Ke Baad
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...possibly the best love story we have seen all this year and maybe last year too.
-
Nothing dramatic, just fresh: Break Ke Baad is the other flavour of romance. One that you don't find in run-of-the mill Mills and Boon masala.
-
The film may not be among the best love stories ever made, but it delivers two hours of decent entertainment and leaves you with a smile at the end of it.
-
...the film is subversive enough and remains endearingly exciting for most parts.
-
...the story never really catches fire, and it never makes you invest enough emotion in the continent-hopping lovers - painted as opposites, in typical rom-com colours - ending up together. The hurdles that they plant on their way to happiness appear molehills, not mountains.
-
...emerges as one of those love stories with a potential that gets squandered in an attempt to be constantly clever at the cost of sustaining the sensitivity that the two lead players build into their relationship.
-
...the prospect of zero individuality in a creative medium is hardly a deal breaker. And it's definitely not cool anymore.
-
...has its own newness. The characters are very appealing and so is the treatment. The film has been written interestingly with a lot of humour added at regular intervals.
-
I'm officially instituting the two and three- quarter star rating on our show. This is for films, which show promise and sparkle but eventually don't deliver the goods.
-
Tune in, tune out. Admire the good looking, well matched couple. Drift along. For a bit.
-
...tries to stick to the formula but half-heartedly. And that's why the zing is missing from this romcom.
-
Director Danish Aslam makes a respectable debut with a reasonably engaging film that is watchable largely for the performance of its leading lady.
-
...an average affair which doesn't 'break' new ground in romcoms.
-
...a trying-too-hard to be cool film where the effort is glaring.
-
When a film chooses to mimic life and its relationships, you expect a certain warmth, which is completely missing.
-
For a cushily-budgeted project, the narrative is toothpick thin. How you long for a twist or two in the plot pourri. Consequently, there is precious little by way of a conflict or substantial content.
-
The direction of Danish Aslam seems to be bogged down by a poor screenplay.
-
Danish Aslam can populate the film with quirky characters, have characters mouth self-help-book profundities, but it just never manages to be funny, and never reaches the level of melancholy it tries to drum up in its two shallow characters.
-
...is soulful in bits, but the shabby story never ever takes off, while the direction remains average. In the end Break Ke Baad stays a pretty but boring film.
-
...goes wrong, sorry horribly wrong in its writing. The screenplay is full of glitches, the writing is juvenile, the situations are amateurish...
-
...just another boring rom-com with the fixed set of ingredients: pretty faces, hep styling, vibrant production values, a few funny lines, peppy songs, and spunky senior characters. As usual, they forgot to include a strong screenplay sans loopholes and loose ends.
-
...is the latest in the long line of recent Bollywood rom coms which starts off with what must have seemed like a good idea on paper, but comes off looking and feeling lame.
-
The film is bad television transferred to cinema.
