Critic Reviews

Joe Leydon, Variety
Despite a storyline that would require a few more subplots to qualify as featherweight, this atypically low-key Bollywood romantic comedy somehow manages to remain pleasantly diverting throughout its 138-minute running time.

An interesting movie that centralizes on a mischievous, and immature young man whose always believed that with family, he could not want for anything. Without a care in the world, he meets Aisha (she's everything that he isn't) and helps her to settle into the life of Mumbai. Failing his last year of college and his father wanting him to gain some responsibility and work in his company, Sid leaves home after a family dispute with only his clothes. With no money and no plan, he decides to see his friend Aisha. For the first time in his entire life, he realizes that things aren't always given. At Aisha's insistence, he decides to learn basic life skills and grow up. Great cast- Ranbir Kapoor, Kokona Sen Sharma, Anupam Kher, Supriya Pathak, Kainaz Motivala, and Rahul Khanna. Worthy!
