Just missed from being very good musical to a great movie

Rating: 8/10 (8 December 2011)

Imtiaz Ali's movie on all accounts. It draws many similarities from his previous movies like Jab we met and love Aaj Kal. The problem of many Hindi filmmakers is they don't know how to end a movie. First half of the movie is very good and fun to watch but in second half it's only the songs which holds the attention. The music of movie is tempting me to watch it again but equally opposite is the effect of few scenes in the movie.
Instead of his previous associate Preetam, this time he has gone with A R Rahman. And this is the decision which has made this movie a real Rockstar movie. A R Rahman the hero behind the scene who has proved once again why he is one of the best music director out there. He has created the magic once again.
Performance wise Imtiaz Ali is able to extract good performance from every actor. Ranbeer Kapoor has got into the role very well and has shown that he is the best fit for that kind of roll. The on screen chemistry between Nargis Fakiri and Ranbeer Kapoor is great. Nargis acted well in romantic scenes but could't handled emotional scenes.
