    Not as bad as people have said

    Watched on netflix.. liked it ..

    Its not theater material, and for sure story is predictable..

    nothing new in it ..so good for at home entertainment..

    Music is good and so is screenplay ...

    They could have improved story ... no need to roam around the world for simple story..

    Another musical movie after Ashiqui 2

    First you should go with less expectations ...as like Mohit suri's last movie...as this movie let you go to a story with a musical journey.... great music composition by all music directors..the movie hold you rightly.... emotions are very heart touching...direction is good...story is predictable...but must watch movie

    Don't Believe the Negative Reviews 2

    I watched this movie twice and enjoyed it each time. I have watched Arjun Kapoor from the beginning of his Bollywood career till now, and can honestly say he has grown as an actor. He played the role of Madhav Jha with passion and intensity; indeed he was much better portraying his part than Shraddha Kapoor was in playing hers (Riya Somani). Her performance lacked conviction and was flat at times. To be honest, the screenplay was thin and the boy meets the girl of his dreams story line has seen its day in Bollywood films. Despite this, the music was good and helped the audience to understand Madhav's intense passion for Riya as well as hers for him. I advise you to ignore the negative ratings and watch the film with an open mind before drawing negative opinions about it.

    A regretful love story with performances that makes it even more regretful

    Adaptations will just create countless atrocities against Bollywood if they don't know how to execute a consistent screenplay. This movie basically explains everything from cheesy one-liners to cliché romantic factors.

    So the movie focuses on Madhav Jha, a Bihari who gets admission in St.Stephens. His way of speaking English is poor but good in nature in terms of sports. He falls in love with a rich girl that goes by the name of Riya Sonmani who is also good at basketball. After a match, they become friends but their friendship gets more serious especially when they kiss. After going through a painful phase in terms of family, Riya runs away to New York happily married to someone else and also fulfilling her dream as a musician and Madhav moves back to Bihar. Riya gets divorced and how Madhav tries to win her back even if she is a cancer patient is basically what this film is about.

    Quite frankly, this movie is an absolute snooze fest. The trailer wasn't interesting which made me least excited for the film but Chetan Bhagat is one of my favorite writers so i had to check this one out. The romantic factors in the movie are as low as his writing. The script itself contains such romance that will mislead you into falling in love.

    The acting was below my expectations.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger gives better expressions than Arjun Kapoor in my opinion. Although he was good in Ishaqzaade, but his role as Madhav just couldn't fit the part in a way that I was expecting.

    Shraddha Kapoor gave a repeat performance than what she did in Baaghi and OK-Jaanu. Although the 1st half, she managed to pull it off well but her innocent face in the end really couldn't justice to the film.

    The music in the movie is highly average. Baarish and Tumko Chahunga are decent tracks but the rest of the music wasn't good and really not my playlist listener.

    The direction of the movie was not as good as well as the cinematography which looked highly vintage and less crisp. Mohit Suri gave some good films like Ek-Villain and Aashiqui 2 and bad films and watching this proves that Hamari Adhuri Kahaani and Crook are not the only films he made so this movie counts in that category.

    Overall, I just couldn't stand this movie although some of the music saved the film but not a fair decision to go see it. Just don't waste your money this weekend and 2 states can do some justice to your weekend because it is a Chetan Bhagat's film.

    Why the negative reviews? 🤔

    It was a sweet one time movie. I watched it on Netflix. Arjun Kapoor's acting was good. The movie was bit of a drag in between but generally good time pass.
