On the downside, there’s a bizarre twist in the last 15 minutes that could have been replaced with a scene or two of good conversation, but if you have an appetite for melodrama, you might just like it. Seeing Aishwarya in the role of a confident seductress is a welcome change.

Ranbir's portrayal of the clumsy, turned-down one-sided lover is heartbreaking his honesty comes through yet again. Karan, the writer, overpowers Karan, the director here.Īnushka Sharma plays the most well-rounded character with abandon she's remarkable. The sadness comes from real consequences of heartbreak that Johar has always shied away from, but not this time. The laughter comes from genuine chemistry between the leads. There’s no celebration of heartbreak there’s no pausing-for-laughs, there are no convenient coincidences. In the first half, there’s a getting-to-know-each-other arc which reminds you of Before Sunrise there's also a slight Imtiaz Ali flavour lingering through the movie (strong female characters help a broken boy find himself). He has come a long way from “Pyaar dosti hai,” (Kuch Kuch Hota Hai) to “Pyaar mein junoon hai, par dosti mein sukoon hai” (ADHM). This is Karan Johar’s most grown-up movie yet. Ayan then finds solace in a (mostly physical) relationship with Saba (Aishwarya), who helps him get a new perspective on one-sided love. But Ayan wants more from the relationship.Īlizeh on the other hand is still reeling from her break-up with Ali (Fawad) and a chance encounter makes her slip back into his arms, leaving Ayan distraught.

They’re Bollywood-crazy goofballs who sing cheesy ’80s songs, poke fun at each other’s partners and fit into each other like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Ayan (Ranbir) and Alizeh (Anushka) strike up a friendship after meeting at a bar.
