meghana-meggy I watched this movie because of the refreshing music and the shooting at foreign locations that I saw in the trailer. It was a mistake. I should have known better that nice music and shooting at breathtaking locales does not equal a good film. The movie's weakest point is its story. Without going into details I'll say that it is full of stereotypes. Deepika plays Veronica- an independent girl who drinks, wears short clothes, visits night clubs and loves having casual sex. She also does not understand basic decency. She is supposed to be seen by the audience as the 'modern' girl because of her 'forwardness'. Diana plays Mira- a damsel-in- distress type girl who wears salwar kameez every other day, does pooja everyday, knows how to cook, has no self esteem and no self confidence. The audience is supposed to see her as the desi behenji Indian girl(because of her 'backwardness'?). Saif plays Gautam- A guy who seems to want to flirt with every girl right from the moment he sees her. Can you see how the stereotypes are framed here? When are the Indian script writers going to stop portraying women as 'pure' and 'impure'? Just because a girl wears short clothes does not mean she likes drinking or having casual sex. Just because she drinks does not mean she loves having sex with random guys. Just because she has sex with a guy, even if she does not have serious feelings of love for him, does not make her 'impure' or 'slutty'. It is this outdated mindset of Indian society which is impure. It is a personal choice when a girl wants to have sex and portraying her as a slut because of her sexual forwardness in such movies is not just outdated but also sexist(The story never talks much about Gautam's 'purity' even if he has sex with multiple women). In one of the scenes Veronica tells Gautam "I can be pure too". I wanted to shout at her and tell her "you don't have to be 'pure', you are already pure. If you try to be like someone else, then you will actually become fake/impure." It is movies like this which encourages the Indian mentality that 'It is OK to rape a girl because she asked for it because she was wearing short clothes'. On the other hand not every girl who is religious and wears traditional clothes is good, innocent or 'pure'. I know many girls who do those things and are mean bitches. Also, the lack of self esteem in a person is not a good quality, it is a bad one.The acting is not remarkable either. Saif overacts in almost every scene and looks too old to flirt with young women. In real life, a young girl would/should call the cops if someone like him tried to flirt with her. He seemed like a pervert. Diana does not understand how to give facial expressions for different emotions. The only good acting was from Deepika. Dimple and Boman Irani had very short roles. The main characters, who are supposed to have the 'happy ending' lack chemistry. The dialogues lack originality and are forgettable. At some points I didn't understand what a character is trying convey with his/her dialogues. They were that bad. The direction was hopeless too. In some scenes I thought the director is trying to stretch out the movie to make it more than 2 hours long even when there is nothing happening in the scene or there are no dialogues. Sadly, there were many such scenes. The music of the songs was very good but the lyrics were not.Apart from Deepika's acting, foot-tapping music by Pritam and one hilarious scene where Saif dances on a famous Bollywood item song, there was nothing entertaining about the movie.It's because of movies like these that I keep wanting to give up on Bollywood.

xoxtopxox This movie started out simply amazing, and surprisingly, not very "Indian". It strays far beyond any typical conventional Bollywood movie, seeing as it deals with topics considered quite taboo to Indians such as women drinking, partying, etc. The first half of the movie was hilarious, light-hearted and quite enjoyable to watch, the movie progressed nicely for the most of it. But as it is a Hindi movie, it took a turn for the emotional during the second half and honestly it was quite depressing to watch. While the storyline and plot of this movie may have been messed up, the acting and movie was simply amazing. Notably Deepika's role, it really brought out a humane and relate-able side to the "rich party girl" we all love to hate. I actually felt sympathy for her character and found myself growing to love her more and more throughout the film. Needless to say, this movie deserves a watch (at least once).

Ajayram Had the intention to see this movie for quite a long time, I had seen the first 20 minutes earlier and found it to be very funny but could not continue , Yesterday I was able to watch the whole movie,The first half has very nice scenes, and good comic timing. The second half, however, made me exaggerated like hell. Too sentimental too melodramatic second half, and the story just doesn't continue. There is no great plot in the movie, and I felt that the running time could have been reduced by around 30 minutes. However, what saves the movie is Deepika Padukone s acting, Some of the serious and emotional scenes in the second half she has played brilliantly, especially the party scene in the club. Her acting is just a treat to watch. Saif Ali Khan has given an average performance, but this kind of role he has enacted too many times in the past with movies like Hum Tum, Salaam-e-Ishq etc. He is I feel, getting too old for these kind of roles. The newcomer Diana Penty, apart from being pretty, has put in a decent first performance, and has not got overshadowed by the other two actors.The music by Pritam is really nice. My favourite songs are 'Desi Daru', 'Jugni' (a different genre of song but has started to grow on me ) and the Agnee song 'Yaariyan'. Overall a great album which you can listen to, independent of the movie too.Overall I would give it 6/10 only because of Deepika's acting performance and the nice soundtrack. Good that I didn't waste my money watching this in the theatre :)

Tenzin Nyendak I saw this movie months ago n i just loved it, 1st of all i felt in love with Diana Penty, she is just just gorgeous, her dance in Tum Hi Ho Bhandu will be remembrance n her performance was way too good as a débutante n she really deserve an best débutante award of the year. Deepika was drop dead hot beautiful, i just loved her character Veronica, she has done a fantabulous job once again n had proved that she can act despite her criticism for her earlier movies, her intro was BIG WOW, Saif in this movie was a full on comic, his sense of humor was top notch but sometime i felt it was over a top, and he seems to old to be cast in this movie but still i enjoy his every scene. The actors,costume designer,music directer, cinematography deserve a standing ovation, they have done a wonderful job, Homi Adajani has become my top 10 director on my list. THANX FOR A GOOD FILM
