Its like a breath of fresh air.The movie is about 'growing up'. Its about movement from boyhood to manhood. That too without any preaching.. From the first scene onwards. The pace is set. Ranbir(surprisingly) has done a Fab job. You just cant seem to find anybody else fitting in the role so amazingly well. Great music. Tight Script. Fresh 'Feel'. Nice performances. Everything worked for me. Funny enough, I cant find anything bad about the movie. (Given that i am known for my 'destructive' criticism!!). Nothing overdone. No preaching. No zabardasti ka emotional drama. Just a plain, sweet script with nice performances. But scores on the 'FEEL'. A mustt watch!!!The best movies are those where you can see yourself in the characters. Its like watching your own self on screen. The days when you were in college. When all of us wanted to do something 'creative' and not run of the mill stuff. When all we cared about which movie to watch and things like career, life etc took a back seat. And then, you realize that you need to find your place in the sun. What you are meant to be or do. What is it that you want to or have to do. Whats your story and how are you gonna write it.
The Plot: Its a no brainer. The movie is about a boy who needs to wake up and realize that life is not only about partying hard, cars, movies, gaming, credit cards, spending father's money etc. And how an event changes his life and how he transforms form a 'kid' to a man.
The Performances: For me, Ranbir has actually 'grown up'. or may be the part was written just for him. I cant seem to imagine anybody else but him in the role. He is ammazing. Kongkona is as usual fabulous. Anupam kher and Supriya pathak score in their cameos.
Music: I generally dont mention music in my reviews but couldnt help this time. ALL the songs were better than the other. Be it the soft 'Iktara' to the full feel-ed 'Kya Karoon' which describes the plot unbelievably well. The title track is just too ammazing and even the english parts (as background scores) are just fabulous.
Technicals: Top notch. Script is tight. Story is simple. Direction is gripping. Music is fab. There are no dull scenes. Anil Mehta has done wonders in the cinematography department. Sets. Colour combinations. Even the clothes are just class..
Positives: Everything. Be it performances, Plot, Script, Music, Direction, Lyrics, Feel. Everything was just right.
Negatives: Funny enough, I cant find anything negative in the movie. Its just scores perfectly well for me.
Overall: Its just such a refreshing story telling that i just cant describe. Script is tight. Direction is almost perfect. Music is Fab. Performances rocking. Everything just how it should be. Go and Grab your seats NOW!!!
Feel-O-Meter: 9/10 (I am sure all are gonna say its too much but you tell me why not??? )
