Storyline

A story about a romantic journey of a culturally opposite couple - Krish Malhotra and Ananya Swaminathan. They meet at the IIM-Ahmedabad College and during the program they fall in love. Complications arise after the program comes to an end and they decide to get married. Krish and Ananya belong to two different states of India. Krish, a North Indian Punjabi boy from Delhi, and Ananya, a Tamilian Brahmin from Chennai. They take a conscious decision; they won't get married until their parents agree. Everything goes downhill when the parents meet. There is a cultural clash and the parents oppose the wedding. To convert their love story into a love marriage, the couple faces a tough battle in front of them. For it is easy to fight and rebel, but much harder to convince. Will Krish and Ananya's love for each other sustain the battles? Will they manage to convince their parents and make it to their wedding? Written by UTV Motion Pictures

Arjun Kapoor is a normal guy
10 July 2015 | by (Auckland, New Zealand) – See all my reviews

What I mean when I say the above is that Arjun's extent of acting involves curling the ends of his mouth up when he is supposed to look happy, and keeping them in place otherwise. I seriously would have liked to punch him to get some other emotion out of him. Oh well, I guess family connections are all you need to get cast in a movie.

Alright, that's just about one actor's performance. The reason I gave a 4 rating is because Amrita Singh and Revathy have turned in decent performances. They both bring out the reservations that mothers have when their child is in a relationship with someone else. Of course, both sides are seen to hold some prejudices about the other, which is not completely fictional either. These prejudices were discussed in the book as well, but the movie brings these to a wider audience. We definitely need to discuss and get over this unfounded sense of superiority over someone from another state (both sets of parents are guilty of this).

Another thing I would like to say is that although Alia Bhatt shines in her role due to acting beside Arjun Kapoor, the role could have been given to someone who was actually from south India.

Overall, the book was decent, but the movie was mostly ruined by the poor casting choices for the lead roles. The cyborg-like performance of Arjun Kapoor was especially intolerable. I guess family connections really do help to inflict suffering on a huge audience.
