Story:
An old story with a new touch, the story begins with a group of friends and leading the boys is Jai (Imran Khan) who is a soft spoken, cool as a cucumber guy while the girls are headed by Aditi (Genelia) who is an absolute opposite, she is aggressive, fiery, does not hesitate to pick up a fight and very dynamic. Both Jai and Aditi are contrasts but then they sure have the eye for each other and though love is not expressed at all, the romance is already sensed by Jai's parents (Naseeruddin Shah and Ratna Shah) and Aditi's parents (Jayant Kripalani and Anuradha Patel). Also sensing it is the group of friends Jiggy (Nirav), Sugandha (Shaleen), Rotlu (Karan), Bombs (Alishka) who share some real camaraderie and friendship. However, the question is when do Jai and Aditi get to realize that they are in love? Things do take a sharp turn with the arrival of love from a different angle in the form of a pretty girl (Manjari Phadnis) Do they get to confess it to each other? What happens in the end forms the rest of the story.
Presentation:
The debutante director has handled a several times used story in a deft manner and he has shown that with a good presentation and narration, even a known subject can be impressive. However, he needs to tune up his narration bit since that played the spoilsport at some valid junctions. The dialogues are breezy, the screenplay is sensible, the script is fine but has few loopholes. The music is outstanding while the camera has been top notch. The costumes are trendy and the art director came up with a good job from his end. Imran Khan has come across with an impressive performance given his debut attempt and with a low profile character, he has surely marched into the hearts of many. On the other hand Genelia was the life and soul of the movie and one needs to commend this pretty girl for her spontaneity in humorous and sentimental situations with such brilliance. Naseeruddin Shah is matchless while Ratna is interesting. Jayant and Anuradha looked graceful as the couple while Rajat Kapoor and Kitu Gidwani looked elegant. Ayaz Khan and Prateik were revelations. Manjari is a show stealer and she is one extraordinary beauty. The others did their bits with the required professionalism and added value to the film.
Conclusion:
Despite a routine subject, the novelty has been creative and the whole film was executed with a different treatment. The first half is actually rocking with really interesting scenes, energy and good technical values and once the audience sets foot into the second half with a lot of expectations, they are disappointed due to the inclusion of unwanted scenes and lengthy durations. Also, the climax of the film has been seen in many movies and it was predictable that played against its momentum. Overall, the film is definitely enjoying and though a blockbuster is impossible it will surely be a money grosser for the makers.
