Katti Batti

Only thing I want to appreciate is the promo making team, who juiced up all the good stuff in promo that rest remained tasteless and baseless. Surprisingly first creative film making team must have thought about climax then, hurriedly and illogically started journey to find it's beginning but fails badly in it. There is nothing in name of story except pushed emotional climax, which makes you laugh instead of cry. Yes, if they have come up with good scenes then this climax could have been worked a bit but alias what could they have done with black comedy expert main male lead, which can evoke laughter in any emotional scene as it is cake walk for him. Screenplay succeeds completely to create confusing characters, irritating comedy and non relating emotional scenes. Script tries hard to give you the feeling that lead couple should be together but after few minutes you pray that they shouldn't. What is the irony of script!! Film starts with some amateur shooting video but it is most amateurish and long that you get the first bitter taste of remaining dish in few minutes only. How they break characters, in a scene they show a businessman is of tainted character but what was the need of showing him! Yes, he was the father of opponent but then why! Just because you felt the way of showing it very smart. They show taxi's both window half open and then male lead closing it. I didn't get what intelligence was behind it! Boy running behind car of girl, this shot is obsolete in today's cinema. Tortoise emotional angle is just flat, somehow you feel sympathy for tortoise but not for couple. Pre climax sequence of boat chasing in pond is most irritating. Performance wise, one can dare to cast Imran Khan if film has any emotional angle. He is as unbalanced as much he could have been. Kangana Ranaut looks complete reluctant. She is very average with a peculiar hair style. #MithilaParkar as Komal, younger sister is very good. She is completely balanced. Music by Shankar Ehassan Loy have tracks "Lip To Lip De Kissiyan" , Sau Aansu Roye Do Ankhiyan" and " Ishaq Da Rutba", which are good.

Ever since Imran Khan's JTYJN and Kangana's Fashion I wanted to see them on the big screen, I luv'em both a lot and they are both so talented and cute looking. For some years I was into Russian culture so I barely watched any hindi movie, until recently that I heard in dono me movie agaya hai. I was so happy, remembering Imran Khan's interview in 2010 saying he'd like to do a movie with Kangana. I checked the IMDb and was shocked by the rating but I loved them too much to not give this movie a try. Even though watching them together was a treat, Kangana looking incredibly gorrrrg and Imran looking as handsome as always, the movie was a mess. I couldn't help but fast forwarding it. I never thought I'd say this someday about a Kangana and Imran movie but, Not at all recommended!!!

See the movie with your better half. And wait till the end, when all gets revealed to you.

If you like 500 days of summer or something that keeps you interested then a good movie. The actors are just not that professionals to act in THIS serious movie. But the comedy is priceless. 20 min of comedy is in there.

And for what happens in the movie, it all adds up to the events that lead to the the end. Cant push how mush it is necessary to see the end after watching the whole movie

And for the supporting rolls. They are a hit or miss. This movie really forces those supporting actors to play in important roll. Some of the actors are great but some fall short.

Hope you like the movie, me and my wife liked it. But loved the story

7 only for the last 20 or odd minutes.. I feel like that's when story starts.. If you keep your patience till the last you will feel its worth a watch.. Yup movie could have been better in a thousand ways but its what it is and rater than criticizing it badly lets try and be fair and like this movie for what it is.. Obviously Imran and Kangana have done a heck of a job.. Kangana Suits best for climax and Imran for rest of movie.. May be a different cast would have done the job.. Other actors where just pain for eyes.. They just couldn't pull it through and they did have a important part for story to move on.. You could not like this movie but certainly can't hate this one at least it leaves a small impact inside you..

Inspired by the Hollywood Cult Classic 500 Days of Summer, 'Katti Batti' tries hard to adapt the soul of its inspiration, but what is eventually served is a merely average film. Though the idea is great, the execution is uneven!

'Katti Batti' is a romantic comedy that follows Maddy (Imran Khan) and Payal's (Kangana Ranaut) live-in relationship until a sudden turn of events creates a distance between them.

'Katti Batti' has a lively first-hour, where some sequences bring a smile on your face. Its a bit interesting to see the heartbroken protagonist struggle to find his love back & the flashbacks on how the boy & girl met, have a niceness to it. Its the second-hour that fails. The narrative loses energy & the pace drops drastically. Also, the emotional manipulation in the final-act, doesn't work. In short, the first-hour works, but the second-hour spoils the fun.

Anshul Singhal's Screenplay is decent, but only in parts. The second-hour needed to be better! Nikhil Advani's Direction is ordinary. Cinematography is fine. Editing is average. Art & Costume Design are perfect. Music by Shankar Ehsaan Loy is melodious.

Performance-Wise: Imran Khan puts up a sincere act as the heartbroken lover-boy, although he impresses only in some scenes. Kangana Ranaut is monotonous. A stereotypical act!

On the whole, 'Katti Batti' works in bits, not entirely.
