Well. This was my first emran hashmi movie and yes. I just about made through. Its a very average movie but ya, you can survive through it, provided you keep an open mind and stop looking at actors(obv you have to think long and hard to watch an emran hashmi starrer) and noticing characters. The characters are very well written. Script is not too loose. Storyline is pretty simple but intriguing. Performances are pretty average (but i obv was not expecting an oscar winner here anyways). Music is very nice (Infact thats one of the main reason i actually saw this movie). Overall not the worst movie ever made. If you have to watch it, you can.
But somehow i felt that the love story was much more interesting than the 25/7 setting. If the setting can be discounted and movie remade with a better star cast and only the love story. I think it can work ammazingly well. A few moments were actually touching. The love story is very well thought of. And most will actually be able to relate to it. The 25/7 background (i believe) was only there to create hype, and was not required. Infact, that works as a distraction from the main story. Make it again with better actors and without the 25/7 background and i will watch it a few times over.
Plot: The plot revolves around a live-in couple who have their share of laughs and fights and end up separating only to meet again during 25/7(Quite filmy.. I know). During that one night they realize that they are made for each other and has a happy ending with a few (unrequired) twists and turns. Just get rid of the 25/7 setting please.
Performances: Soha does a pretty above average job(Given that i did not expect her to be able to 'act' at all). Although i cannot tolerate Emraan at all, but i tried my level best to not be biased because of my personal dislike and infact i kinda liked what he did. The guy acts in his limited capacity and does not go overboard at all, which i seemed to liked. Rest there is nobody else anyways in the cast.
Music: I quite liked a couple of songs. Especially the title track. I think it was damn neat. Also Dil Ibadat and Tu hi haqeeqat are worth mentioning.
Technicals: Very ordinary. They could have done a much better job while creating the 25/7 sequences. But that obviously would have required some more spending which i am not sure would have been allowed. Rest nothing worth mentioning.
Positives: Neat Story. Decently tight script. Does not lose its pace mostly. Okayish performances. No hickups. Pretty smooth actually.
Negatives: Again not any major problems but the 25/7 background did not work for me. Also could have been even shorter. I wish it was only a love story minus the setting and the fact that its an emraan hashmi movie!
Overall: Pretty average and survivable if you dont have any major hang ups against emraan hashmi!
Feel-o-Meter: 6/10 (Yes. You read it right.. 6.. :-p )
