So after seeing an array of posts and tweets trashing the movie after it started streaming on Netflix, my curiosity got the better of me and I watched it.
Is there anyone else who thinks that despite the fact that the plot gets complex (sometimes unnecessarily complicated) to the brink of confusing and the underlying misogyny of the characterization, there's quite a few interesting things to take away and interpret in it?
I mean it's definitely not the best movie in the world. The flow at times gets disrupted, Kartik growing up to turn into Randeep Hooda is quite nonsensical and the screenplay is haphazard, but I feel that it was a sincere attempt to basically convey the message that one should be in touch with oneself and embrace your authentic self, your thoughts and feelings so as to avoid conflicts within you.
Also I didn't really think high of Kartik but I actually thought that he was pretty earnest as both Raghu and Veer. (I'm in love with Veer, how endearing is he 😳). And yes, I feel Sara did kind of go overboard in some scenes. Doesn't help that her character isn't instantly likable if you don't bother to dig deeper
Thoughts?
