John has done a fairly good job with this role, however he does seem to stay slightly monotonous in the film even when he is meant to change his attitude. He has shown his acting skills which prove that he can play a "man-child" but it is no where near his best work. Chitrangada looks good but that's all she does. She has disappointed in the acting front to be honest. Her acting seems quite one dimensional even though you can tell that she is trying to portray herself as the "victim" in their relationship..."ex"-relationship.
steady
relationship but doesn't want to commit. What did you expect? Which is a
problem for girlfriend Anushka ( Singh). No surprises there either. -

One day Anushka sends him out of
her house due to his irresponsibilities about his commitment to the relationship. To be honest, this all seems very obvious even from the first trailer.His new neighbour Gauri (Prachi Desai) comes into his life and he begins to fall in love with Gauri. Ishaan is forced out of the music company and Gauri encourages him to start his own company.
Of course
over-indulgent mothers can turn their little boys into entitled
monsters, but all it takes for 'maa' Wahab to realize it is one
impassioned speech by 'behen' Mathur? Desai tries too hard at being
perky. Singh, I've been thinking since her last outing in 'Inkaar',
should stop looking so immaculately groomed, because she just comes off
being same. And did I mention Sen who plays Abraham's snarky employer?
No? Because we never see her being anything else.

While all this is happening, Ishaan has no clue about what is happening with Anushka.SPOILER ALERT!
She is pregnant, with Ishaan's baby. She conceals this information from him for most of the duration of the film, till his sister reveals to him that but he does not go back to Anushka.
Of course we all know that over-indulgent mothers can spoil their sons but all it takes for the mother to realise it is one impassioned speech by Shivani, after which he goes back to Anushka. When he meets their baby and tries to take the responsibility for his actions, when Anushka tells him to go after Gauri, the woman he truly loves.
The film ends with an interesting scene which shows Ishaan being a loving father, a husband to Gauri and friends with his baby's mother, Anushka.
The ending of this film was quite a surprise for an Indian audience as this type of event does not take place in the sub continent.
This movie is definitely just a one time watch. It does keep the audience engaged for most of the film but there are parts that would literally bore the crowd to sleep.The songs are not up to scratch apart from one "Saajna" sung by Falak Shabir that literally gave me goosebumps.
Prachi has acted well for the role that she was given. She looks and feels like the only "real" character in the entire film. Hence, she has to be the highlight of the film. The story... though quite unique, still disappoints at some parts.
I give this film a 4/10 "4 out of 10"
Rating: Just about watchable, it's about average, maybe even slightly below
