VishnuMishra

There is nothing wrong with the movie. The movie never showcased things like feminism and women empowerment as was the broadcast by all who hated the movie. The movie is closer to reality in-fact, no matter how much everyone denies it. Looking other way round just at the sight/plight of reality which is brimming with shallowness and drugs/alcohol abuse in our modern day world (in India too) doesn't change the facts. So the movie is kind off, a peek into world of such girls, whom you may find around yourselves too. Nothing uncommon.

Wanna really enjoy the movie, then the viewer may have to erase the thought that the movie is dealing with feminism and women empowerment. Its just another comedy drama movie, not a society stirrer.

It's disappointing to watch this movie rush towards the end. It failed to capture the essence of novel, the energy and the situational seriousness. Louisa's character is made more of a joke, she is shown only as a laughing and smiling idiot, which is not the case in the novel.

The acting is forced and it looks as if someone has made a summarised recap of complete package.

Screenplay is the only part that justifies itself other then that, everything is just rushed to the finishing line. Its not actors, but the director who ruined the movie.

I am not sure if Jojo actually was happy to see this kinda potrayal of her beautiful written/drafted novel.

The movie is not just any kinda movie with fun and laughter. Its the truth that someone had to bring out eventually. I am glad that Supreme Court intervened and minimized the cuts otherwise a piece of art would have been sacrificed. After seeing the movie you will realize that how sad it is that a state that once had a martyr born in every house has now being replaced by a druggie in every house. Its an old saying that if you want to destroy a country targeting its youth is one of the many initial steps one takes. And it takes only minutes of watch to see who supplies the drugs. That is just one aspect and not just that, the movie then focuses its attention to the basic route and mode of operation of this cartel.This is a must watch movie and one must not just watch it for fun rather one must feel pity for the sorry state of the state that once bubbled with life and energy. As the story revolves around four characters independently at first they are later interwoven though not the best but in an appreciable manner. Shahid and Alia steal the show. There characters are flawless and there screenplay is superb. Diljit the apple of eye of all Punjabi added his best bits and his work is worth commending. I did feel that after the interval the movie was bit too long. The flaw is in editing section and it could have been a lot better. It could have been chipped in some places and it could have saved a few minutes that gave a lethargic feeling. But anyways, overall the movie was worth a watch and a to be recommended one as well. Its not everyday when you see a marvel being created and presented unaltered or unscathed. I am glad Anurag and his team fought till the end to save this piece of art.
