The movie starts with the introduction of Harry (Shahid Kapur) who is a mischievous, notorious young boy. He meets Aayat (Sonam Kapoor) who is a newcomer to the village. He falls head over heels in love with her. Ok, agreed, she looks like an innocent doll. But then why so much overacting to portray the innocence of love, the moments when two lovers steal some time to catch a glimpse of the other. Understood, we do not need so much overkill with dialogues. Then Aayat moves out from the village without informing anyone, during the Ayodhya riots. Riots and someone moves to Mumbai? Okay! Then when they bump into each other in Scotland after 7 years, all she can say for not informing him was "sorry" really? Where's the melodrama now?
Then, this time Harry has to report immediately as the squadron leader who leads the mission to win over Tiger hill in the Kargil war. Nothing about the war is shown, just that Harry's plane catches fire. Ok. But no melodrama, he lands successfully on an authorised runway, but in the next scene, the doctor declares that his left hand is paralysed? Where's the explanation now?
Then again they don't meet..for whatever reasons..but they meet during the Gujarat riots in 2002 where Harry very heroically saves Aayat at the last minute. They save a horse and a small girl (during which Harry's paralysed hand heals!). So now they form a family and live happily ever after. But is the audience happy? No, they are dead...bored to death!
So in summary, story..you just read the trimmed down version (your lucky). Performances..over done. The only one that deserves mention is that of Supriya Pathak. Songs..okish. Background score..okish. Direction not good and editing is horrible (its a 3 hour movie??)
Please don't bother!
