4/10
Lackluster entertainer

Warning: Spoilers
I didn't go in with much expectations for this movie and walked out with a casual "meh." Performances are just average. Parineeti's character needed to be elaborated some more--her performance seemed more of a caricature, while making odd, unnatural faces and expressions. Her character was a good concept, nonetheless--something very different, fresh, and modern. Siddharth was decent but nothing to write home about. He was much better in Student of the Year. Songs are also average. The girl who played the role of Karishma was not too bad but nothing spectacular. What was a bit irksome and left a sour taste in the mouth were some of the subtle values being shown in the film--particularly that it's perfectly justifiable to take as much of your parents' money as you desire (by hook or by crook). I find self-made financial independence more respectable. Also, the climax is extremely farcical.

The only two main positives of the film are Parineeti's innovative character, even if its portrayal was average, and the alternative, random humor. When the scene is starting to drag, you unexpectedly encounter some off-beat humor. These two things are what hold your attention in the first half. In the second half, though, particularly in the final scenes, the film loses whatever momentum it has.
