But does the new age lack common sense?
First let me talk about the pros of the movie, since all the reviews I read uptil now just bash the movie without talking about what's worth.
The songs and the background score. They won't let you forget the movie, not for another year or so.
Ranbir's performance is what holds the movie for 2:45 hours! No kidding, its just Ranbir's earnest and flawless performance that even lets you forgive Nargis for her "ohh-so-kiddish" dialogue delivery and expressions that would make you want to turn away!
The story-telling is nice and it keeps to the "I don't care" attitude of the current age!
But, the curve drops. Why? The story. It is cliche`d, yes but who says usual "hardships in a love story", "an undecided lady, who cannot decide whether she wants to get married, or stay faithful or have an affair" does not work? But obvious mistakes? I mean, one could tell that something was just not finished. Out of the blue someone just says "I am a junglee jawani kind of a person", to a stranger? There were many other mistakes, I won't mention all of them. Here's the link for the mistakes.
But, all said and done, the movie is worth your time once for the performances (ofcourse excluding Nargis) and the background score and the music and the overall feel that the movie gives you. Go watch it!
