Connexions perdues

*Kho gaye hum kahan* is a proper flashback to the today's world and generation we sre living in. It has good music, a strong storyline, great characters, nice humor, and a message to all the people like us who are too much into the world of social media now, that we have lost our own identity, our own pleasures, our own life. The movie makes us question our choices, our daily routine, in a very subtle way. The movie is about three friends who have their own battles going on, one who is a gym freak, another who is a creative business mind, while the last one, the funny guy, and their traumas of life. It felt complete to me, the way they have shown the struggles of life, each one facing their own demons, it is very relatable, I just wanted some deep dialogues to be honest, that would have made this one a much better watch. The songs are great, not memorable, but with deep lyrics indeed. The last 20 minutes are very intense, and it will make you cry, if you have a past trauma. The first half is like a honeymoon period of everyone's life, with small inconveniences, but the movie escalates to the dark reality of everyday struggle, really quickly. People who have faced them in real life, will relate more, and those who don't, I hope you never do, but someday you will. It is a perfect watch, to make real life resolutions, and see how beautiful life is.

What a beaut!

Beautiful pacing, heartwarming narration and such sublime acting by the cast! Right from the 3 leads to the supporting actors, everyone was woven perfectly into the fabric of this story.

It's the kind of movie that holds your hand and walks across a sunset beach. A sunset beach you never knew existed, because you had your darned head up your phone's keister.

The music wasn't a show stealer, which was actually great! They worked so well with the moments and just enough so as not to pull too much attention away from the story itself.

AND this comes at such a great time.

All hearts :)

A good movie credit definitely should go to this amazing debutant director Arjun Varain Singh. The real talent of any artist is not revealed unless the director is good. And Arjun has shown very clearly that he is a very talented director. Be it Ananya pandey, Adarsh Gaurav or Siddhant Chaturvedi it is everyone's best performance till date. The story is very hard hitting and this bew generation people will really connect to the story. Unbelievable movie ❤❤❤pure goosebumps...mindblowing story telling, great bgms, awesome music.....Bollywood waale aise film Kab baanayegey😊😊😊😊.....It's actually a good Movie 🔥

A modern story for today's people, particularly those who live and breathe in the vast, demanding world of social media and the Internet.

"Kho Gaye Hum Kahan" is a sincere, sympathetic account of their triumphs, difficulties, and stories in general, while also putting emphasis on the positive aspects of these virtual platforms as well as the negative impacts they may have on our lives.

Our ever-shrinking attention span, the constant craving for validation, and the lack of emotional connection are all challenges to which I feel we can all identify, at least to some extent.

Furthermore, the script is quite effective here as are the characters, you grow so attached to them, their private lives, and I must say, whomever had thought of casting Ananya, Adarsh, and Siddhant as the lead trio deserves to be applauded.

Not only did they gel so well, but they also appeared and acted like real-life best friends, with absolutely no trace of superficiality anywhere, so we ended up loving and rooting for the bond and friendship they shared.

Liked this one. Social Media today works on 3 I's - Instant, Insecurity and I (Narcissism) and the film captures all the 3 themes pretty well.

Strong performances and refreshing tale of modern friendship is well captured after Dil Chahta Hai and ZNMD. Always have been a fan of Excel Entertainment, Zoya Akhtar and Rima Kagti's work hence the film was certainly a good watch, quite relevant with the themes of today.

Adarsh Gaurav as Neil shines through and has a pretty emotional upheaval among the 3 which is very well portrayed on screen. The character has a roller-coaster arc which is well justified by his talent.

Have been a fan of Siddhant Chaturvedi since Gully Boy and this feels no different - the guy delivers a wonderful performance, especially the dialogue towards the end that shows his prowess as an actor.

Ananya Pandey, usually bubbly, is a charm on screen and portrays her character pretty well, which is a difficult mix of displaying insecurity yet be confident. She is the mediator between the extremes of the other 2 characters which she justifies very proficiently.

First part is good and it is all relate-able, though not in the exact manner or form. The part after the halfway mark feels a bit of drag as interest does lose, primarily because its a predictable end but the message the film is trying to give is loud and clear.

Generations, be it millenials or Gen Y or Gen Z should all take away something from this film and remember that at the end of the day, in this world of instant and insecurities and comparision, it is important to be grateful, be close to friends and smile!
