Jab Harry Met Sejal

I found the beginning to be funny, Anushka Sharma is amazing in the movie but it is cringeworthy to see her romancing Shahrukh Khan, I just did not see them as a couple in this movie, post interval you can barely tolerate it, there is unnecessary drama, a movie that could have easily ended in 90 minutes is dragged and dragged.

Travel plays a central theme in this movie, and European destinations are shown full of energy and life. The story is pretty standard, and the viewers are in for a ride, as they travel all over Europe. Harry's backstory is hinted at, but the viewer is never given a full explanation. Sejal, is once again given the short end of the character development. An okay movie could have been made into a great movie if more backstory was given

Oh I am not sure people agree with me or not. But I think this is the appropriate and most lovable complement for the movie which came first to my mind after watching this movie.

Jab Harry Met Sejal, of course, revolves around Harry and Sejal as they embark on the journey of their life. Sejal is engaged and Harry is not really looking for love. However, when Sejal comes around asking for his help to get back her engagement ring that she seems to have lost on her last tour to Europe, sparks fly.

Although reluctant and not hoping to find love, the two develop a deep bond while on their hunt for the ring. Will Sejal change her mind and embrace the promise of happy life? or will she stick to her promise and go ahead and marry her fiancé.

Jab Harry Met Sejal comes with beautiful sights from Europe. A simple story at the core, Imtiaz Ali and the two lead stars make this tale an exciting and engaging romantic movie.

The first act was a total SRK show where he was brilliant at each shot that the Gujarati slang by Anushka fell short in front of SRK's charm. Imtiaz Ali's films mostly have a recurring theme of finding yourself through a long journey which continues here. But besides some of his effective methods at some points, this has to be his weakest film. It's a jolly trip through Europe and that is said to be SRK's idea. Ali's story was changed by Shahrukh Khan's recommendation and that is clearly seen here, it feels more like an SRK film but Ali does have some mark that makes it bearable. The story is predictable and could have been better but the chemistry of the lead pair and some of Ali's dialogues make it watchable.

2 hours and 24 minutes of this movie, and I couldn't connect with the plot for a single moment. Does SRK think that whatever he sells in name of romance will be bought by the Indian audience? Are we, the cinema viewers so foolish? This is not a cinematic joke, but a mockery of audiences. SRK has grown old and it was quite visible on screen. The pair no where looked good. Better watch old SRK movies and avoid this Father- daughter type pair. Acting- 0.5/1 Visuals-0.5/1 Music- 0.8/1 Direction- 0.2/1 Story- 0/1 Total- 2/5
