It is good to see Diana Penty return after her first film Cocktail, which was released in 2012. But honestly, her performance was bland and generically performed. She tried really hard to pull of a happy-go- lucky Punjabi girl but she just failed in the aspect of doing so. In my opinion, Jimmy Shergill just came on set to earn a quick buck. The dialogues in the movie were cheesy and it didn't make sense. If you like runaway wedding movies, then watch Julia Robert in Runaway Bride. The story has some minor similarities between these 2 films.
I've been a big fan of Anand L. Rai ever since Tanu Weds Manu Returns. First time as a producer and he just didn't add the magic that he did for his previous films. Mudassir Aziz had very poor direction skills especially for this film. So that was a bit of a letdown.
There are fair amount of positives in the film. 1) Music is the major highlight of the movie. Gabru to ready mingle hai and Zara se are my favorite 2 tracks and I have been listening to them on a loop. 2) Abhay Deol managed to give his best performance. He got on into his character really well as Bilal Ahmed. 3) Momal Sheikh was also the main highlight of the film. Javed Sheikh sure roped in someone great to play Zoya even though he was in the movie as well. She managed to stay in the comfort zone that she needed to be in.
The movie did make me laugh during some parts of the movie. Overall, this movie is just above an average movie which poor direction and lack of comedy. This movie is surely a one-time watch with depth which lacked quite a lot.
Anand L. Rai, try again.
6/10
Watch Rustom if you hadn't go the chance to.
