A very well made film. Such a sweet love story with zero nonsense. New comers did a wonderful job. You won't regret spending time on this beautifully crafted piece.

Writing my first ever review. Never wrote one in my life before. This movie is definitely 9/10. A must watch. A beautiful love story with a taste of classic love. Just love it. Maybe a very unexpected ending but....

Do not believe the low ratings. It was such a simple story told so beautifully.

This is a beautifully crafted movie which is delicately subtle. Its subtle in all its aspects - be it the location, its foundation, its content, the performances, and the music. In fact it can appear so mundane, that not everyone will be able to garner its beauty. The makers and the artists clearly have genuine love and belief in the story. A story does not have to be entirely unique to pass a qualification of a great movie. Special mention to both the debutants, Meezan Jaffrey and Sharmin Segal for the amazing, amazing performances. This movie needed debutants beause of the innocence inherent in the movie's theme and core, and they have done a wonderful job. Their honesty glows on the screen. It will be a pity for the Indian film industry if we don't see more of this talent in the future. Each of the artists that form the male protagonist's group of friends are extremely good as well and add so much to the story itself. The music is soothing, melodious, hummable (which we don't get much these days), and grows on you. Its also very much entrenched in its environment, its folksy, classic...beautiful! Another aspect that is superb is how the life of the chawl is woven so seamlessly with the love-story - again, it reflects how honestly the makers have build this story. I really want to thank Mr. Bhansali and the entire team for bringing out this movie exactly the way it is. This one is to stay in the heart for a long, long time.

Master piece SBL. Soft and romantic movie. New actors done well here
