Each film comes with a distinct emotion. Zoya’s film has a wide-eyed innocent feel to it, Dibakar’s film has muted passion, Johar’s film is about helplessness and Kashyap’s film is about optimism and faith in the face of harsh reality.

For a story that is not really novel, this movie would have been much more exciting with a wee bit more confidence and craziness. Nevertheless, it’s definitely worth one watch for a good laugh.
