Before writing a review I generally go through all the reviews written before mine to have a better idea of my own understanding. However they make me feel like I am attending an award function were high marks are deliberately being given to select actors. Coming back to the movie, it is a story of two lonely people who meet each other through a dating site. You will have to watch the movie to find out what happens next. The movie pace is okay and the direction is very good. Irrfan and Parvathy, both are fabulous in their roles. The cameos do not offer anything great and in turn hinder the pace of the movie. One of the good things is that both the characters have some back stories and they are explained to viewers with the flow of the movie. Conversations between characters are not too long but eventful. So they do not bore you. Although the story is not that strong, yet performances and direction overcome them up to a great extent.

The director of this film seems to have worked hard to give his audience the chills and thrills that they want to see in such a movie, and he succeeds too. They audiences will remain hooked throughout making guesses only to be proved wrong. The film has an unpredictable climax and this makes it a watchable thriller too. However, in midst of all that there are some questions that remain there till the end. In acting, Sonakshi Sinha disappointingly has put up a week show. Akshay Khanna is awesome while Siddharth Malhotra does what he always does. Mandira Bedi has nothing to do in her cameo and the remaining cast is okay. I will go with 9/10 because such movies deserve being made in Bollywood.

The story bounces between locations and ultimately gets deflated. I had to think a multiple times why was I watching this. How can a family leave a soon to wed girl at an improperly explored place relying on a least known person? I am not being orthodox, just putting forward a reality. And why is the girl so irritating? Looking at one location was enough. So the film is completely artificial, unrealistic, and incommunicable after half an hour. Shahrukh Khan has poured out the best from his heart and has acted superbly, but its his middle aged look that makes you think how awkward this romantic pair is. A 50+ actor pretends to be in his 30s and this is unbearable!! A young lead pair could have made it a bit convincing, but this is definitely a disaster. Imtiaz Ali had ample scope for modifying this excellent metaphoric subject but he failed terribly here. I expected something great but could not get even something good.
