Hamari Adhuri Kahani

A Spoiler Free Review : First of all, let me tell you, I'm a Hollywood buff, but I love occasional Bolly stuff too of which my favorites being A Wednesday, Ek Chalis Ki Last Local, Rockstar, ZNMD, Fanaa, Ishqiya, Udaan, Dev D, Bheja Fry.. and some of them more. Well, I don't know why, but I chose Hamari Adhuri Kahaani to watch over Jurassic World(I'll watch that too, later :p), and Oh Boy! Did I made the right decision.

The movie is just fantastic, ek villain didn't impressed me at all(the songs were the ones which dragged it's so called 'success') But Aashiqui 2 was kind of good with some major plot holes, & the same goes with this one. I'm not implying that, Hamari Adhuri Kahani is one of a kind, It has many cliché moments, but the way Mohit opted to narrate the story, caught me into it.

This movie is purely performance driven. Vidya Balan stole my heart with her innocence but I've been a fan of her acting skills since Kahaani anyways. Rajkummar Rao delivering a top notch performance And Emraan Hashmi stole the show, I'm not gonna publicly admit that i cried every time he had tears in his eyes, I'm not gonna do that :p

All in all guys, this movie is packed with a hardhitting story, with an amazing climax (ignore the one's who are criticizing it, watch it for yourself & then judge it), the atmosphere (locations) serves as an eyecandy including the songs which gave me goosebumps, literally every time when the tittle track went on.

The movie is made for a Silver Screen so do watch it there. Worth ever penny, you'll love it :)

It is a story of real Indian woman. Not the liberated, modern and independent woman but every other girl who despite being educated and employeed is buried under the tag of being a daughter, mother and wife. It tells real story of how difficult it is for them to find and feel love. It is a very sensitive movie and needs understanding of human pain and emotion. It is not some fun, masti, timepass movie for so called modern people who find everything traditional regressive. It shows the real situation not some make belief happy world. Yes, it is dialogue heavy and little filmy but that is expected of an emotional love story. Brilliant. Watch it.

Actually even i had lost a bit of interest after looking at the overall rating. But i was awed after i actually watched it. The music is soothing, it brings a tear or two. I still have the effect in me. Honestly i wish this story was published as a book. It would have contained a lot of insight and more weight. But still, Mohit Suri has done a hell of a job. One of the recent best emotional movie I'v watched this is. Some of the scenes would just pinch a muscle in the heart, thanks to the music and contents of the scene. Bollywood is improving, what with the kinds of films like YJHD. Even though the ending of Ashiqui 2 had me in disappointment, the story telling and acting put up in this movie just made me register for IMDb and write a review. Emraan Hashmi, with his love-felt looks, brings out the pain of a person who hadn't felt love, and covered by the money he has. Rajkumar Rao is outstanding. I like his movies. His acts are subtle. Brings out the character and hasn't failed to do so in the movie. He makes us cry with his innocence in the 'real time' of the story. Vidya Balan is cute. I'd rather tell sweet. Conveys the plot perfectly. Overall it is a must watch for movie buffs who wouldn't want a movie to end. Thank You.

From the ancient time period, our society has been male dominated where a wife is considered not more than a private property of his husband. Still the values haven't changed much and women are still tormented, beaten by their husbands. Such stories patronizing womanhood have been common in '80s social dramas. Story-wise the film looks a bit dated, but a tight script, nice dialogues, and a good performance from Vidya Valan makes "Hamari Adhuri Kahani" gripping. In other words, the film gets a modern treatment to an old story through beautiful sets and nice visuals. Emraan Hashmi as a business tycoon was a miscast whereas Rajkumar Rao attracts through his presence. A weakness persisting in the story was the inadequate elaboration of the dominance of the husband and retaliation of the wife , which was the main theme of the film. Instead, the romance between Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Valan gets most of the footage. However, few melodramatic sequences and a tragic end of the film do touch you at times for which the film is likable.

Rating: 2 stars out of 4

Mind blowing picture,the way hashmi express his love is just speechless..all couples must watch this movie as they can only find it meaningful..mature roles has been played here with deep meanings.A very nice story directed by Mohit suri ,worth watching it."Tera bin bole samajh Jana" -great job Emraan hashmi,love u for this performance.The dilemma part in Vidya balan's life in this movie when she came to know that her husband is a terrorist n she has to inform police whenever she gets even a call from him to help them to arrest him,there she acts beautifully. Hashmi dialog are so powerful that drives your attention.Those Adam lily flowers will be now mostly preferred by the love birds in the city ..haha...i too went to check out its fragrance as d movie reflects them so convincing.Well don't miss this movie guys ,a new philosophy,a new script has been brought down beautifully on screen..:) :)
