Agony of Star-crossed Lovers......

Rating: 5/10 (14 October 2014)

The film has gained a lot of popularity among the young audiences. The reason is obvious, the agony of young star crossed lovers depicted through few emotional sequences. To be fair, the film doesn't create the flair of a nice melodrama. Perhaps due to lack of a better script, the characters somewhat don't appear sympathetic which they ought to be. However in certain instances, the film does work; and particularly, the performance of heroine overshadows the hero's role, which unfortunately doesn't look very natural. Nowhere the signs of disability or the affliction appears in the hero's character. The biggest flaw in the script of the film was its failure to depict the dreadfulness of the cancer they are ongoing which makes the film appear not more than a feel good time passer. The affliction of the disease and their scorn or desire with life doesn't just come in this teenage romance. Only the sequence shot in Anne Frank's museum catches the agony of the protagonist.
