After Fanaa & Hum Tum, Kunal Kohli continues his forte of ruining good first halfs into a nothing movie.
The movie began well with the 1960s Bombay story. The sets/scenes looked quite real and both Govind & Ruksar looked natural. Prachi Desai chirped in with a nice cameo.
Then we enter the clichéd 2012 England story where Krish meets Radha on the day he breaks up with his ex. Entire Bollywood movies have been made based on this solo story. This one was the worst of the 3.
Next we witness the 'Fanaa' revisited Lahore story where the shayris did relive the Fanaa magic. Here, Kunal made us believe he had a tale to tell but alas, he ruins it. This probably could have been the highlight of the film; but not to be.
Shahid & Priyanka both weren't at their very best. Priyanka carries forward her 'Anjana Anjani' image which doesn't serve well. Shahid tries to be romantic with his 'Mausam' image, but doesn't do a great job. The high expectations with these 2 actors failing to deliver is also a negative point of this movie.
'Only 'mukhtasar' track was hummable. However, a triple disappointing climax to make it fit 'Bollywood standards' ruins it. Not recommended!
