Critic reviews and ratings
-
...is a simmering love story that sucks you into its world. While it may not have the grandeur and lavish scale usually mounted in a Sanjay Leela Bhansali production the mood and ambience created by director Mangesh Hadawale captures the bustle and flavor of a Mumbai chawl beautifully.
-
The industry is always hungry for more talent and it’s good to know it has found two performers in Meezaan and Sharmin.
-
Meezaan and Sharmin Segal offer the same ole love story, a mish mash of every love story since Bollywood began making romances. The film is executed so poorly, you wonder why it is under the Bhansali banner.
-
...would have left as with no regrets whatever if only it had the courage to go all out to stress upon the power of love to surmount divisive forces at play in Mumbai and elsewhere. It abandons that topical concern and settles for a construct that drifts towards a tame, sanitized finish.
-
...seems reminiscent of every cliché one associates with 90s films.
-
What could have been a nice revisit to innocent coming-of-age romances turns out to be a boring affair.
-
While offering little that is new, it sure is a change from the cynicism that we see from romances today.
-
The film is constantly aiming for a large-canvas treatment, often at the expense of local colour and depth. Only because it can.
And, because this is ultimately a launch film.
-
The movie has nothing new to say about the star-crossed romance, and is too timid to mirror the unabashed celebration of unreconstructed malehood that marked the source material.
-
...an inexorably dull retelling of the clichéd conviction so many people hold in real life: that a good woman can reform even the worst of men.
