Dreadfully Boring

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Everything is relative. Had I not watched Endhiran in a movie hall and walked out mid way through the show I would never have been able to tolerate this movie.Outrageous storyline, unbelievable characters and downright terrible Direction make this movie a hot item for the "Trash It" basket in any Garbage Disposal Plant. Love as the central theme of the movie may have sounded bells of Deja Vu for all but what actually disappointed the viewers was the success with which the Director managed to complete a Jigsaw of hideously ugly cinematic elements .Except for the music which was , all said and done entertaining; OK I also concede that the locales were exotic. But apart from that one could hardly argue about the inability of the movie maker to dish out a decent and gripping romantic movie.To be fair the movie wasn't very bad. It's just that it was a way off the target. The script could have easily been armoured with strong punch lines , but that wasn't the case. The characterisation was pathetically underfed. The movie is likely to to be liked by females aged 14-27 ...alright .....can stretch it to 35...but personally I would like to ask the Director to indemnify me for the losses I incurred as a result of watching this movie.

The suicide attempt of two strangers gets inter-twined. "I scratch your back, you scratch mine" becomes the mission statement of their collaboration. What ensues next is flashbacks of their reasons to end their lives, discover each other and the beauty of life itself. Did I forget to mention all this in the process of futile suicide attempts?♫ Priyanka Chopra:: Good writing in certain parts of her character though sometime she appears quite bubbly and sometimes low-down. Priyanka gives her best shot.♫ Ranbir Kapoor:: Gets to showcase various emotion of the character and the layers to it. Delivers at ease. A black horse to watch out in the Bollywood arena. ♫ Zayed Khan:: He falters regardless of an intense scene, casual scene or melodramatic scene. Nonetheless, no great damage to the fly-in-the- ointment character. For starters, the movie should have been "Anjaani Anjaana" for the premise of Priyanka Chopra has a greater depth which had the potential to leave lasting impact had the movie started on that thread. Ranbir's starting point is quite weak and ill-written. The plot could have connected well if it was based in India and the journey of the protagonist would have revolved around "Discovery of India". The weakest of the movie are the excessive cinematic liberties in the plot, hence the reference Kismet Konnection stated. The outline of the plot is clueless whether it was meant to be comedy or love-story under the framework of suicide mission. Owing to which the writing is poor is both fronts. The song "Aas Paas Hain Khuda" is a standard piece of line which is placed whenever there is Kismet Konnection moment. Having said that music is not as rich as "Hum Tum" or "Bachna Ae Haseeno".With "Robot" released alongside I got the impression that AA suffered but frankly that wasn't the case. Even the multiplex crowd (read that generation next) could not fancy the meat in the plot. The only takers I suppose must have been Ranbir and Priyanka's fan-base.

Two strangers in their desperate times seek solace from the edges of George Washington bridge to end their respective traumas caused by the stock market meltdown and betrayal in love by a childhood boyfriend. After several failed attempts to commit suicide together, Kiara (Priyanka Chopra) is convinced that they were meant to live together for a little longer to fulfill their bucket list. Akash (Ranbir Kapoor) is unsure but finds his comfort in her happiness. From a wish to be stranded in the middle of the ocean to taking a long drive through Nevada to even falling in love, the duo fulfill many of their wishes through a series of misadventures that are only partly entertaining and otherwise insipid. Indeed, Ranbir has his first sorely disappointing movie resulting from the flawed direction by Siddharth Anand, who gave us 'Hum Tum', 'Salaam Namaste' and 'Bachna Ae Haseeno'. The lackluster and tedious tale of two strangers, 'Anjaana Anjaani' is a major let down that boasts of little apart from its cinematography and music.The viewer simply cannot connect with the gravity of the circumstances of the protagonists. When such a heartthrob lead pair is expected to engage the audience with romance, laughter and fun, their vain attempt in conveying any sort of seriousness goes unnoticed. Blame the script for trying too hard to push some bitterness down our throats when we're expecting candy. When it comes to performances, the issue is not that Ranbir has only played the charismatic lover boy. Remember 'Rocket Singh' and 'Raajneeti'? We know he is capable but here, he seems lost because of the script. He is only himself in the song Tumse Hi Tumse where the irony is that the 'cool' Ranbir is only an imagination. Priyanka Chopra definitely has the better role of the two but such weakness in her character coupled with an uninspiring partner doesn't lead to much chemistry. One can only look back at Kareena's character in 'Jab We Met' and appreciate Imtiaz Ali's beautiful characterization that was played so vivaciously. Kiara is just too artificial, unreal and no fun to be with. Ranbir's boredom is thus apparent in the light of such partnership. What the duo are truly missing is a third partner. Had Siddharth cast a comedian as their companion, the film would've been a lot more entertaining. Vinay Pathak, Johnny lever, Sharman Joshi, Ritesh Deshmukh and Arshad Warsi are just some of the brilliant supporting actors who could've made the film so enjoyable. Oh well.The film's strength is of course, its music. At 52, Lucky Ali can still deliver the most rocking song of the year with the brilliantly picturized Hairat. Aas paas Khuda though unwanted in the film is beautifully rendered by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. Anjaana Anjaani (Vishal & Shilpa Rao) will be among the memorable tracks with outstanding composition and melodious singing. Mohit Chauhan has another hit in his bag withTujhe Bhula Diya which is a unique fusion song, the best one after Mora Piya earlier this year. Shekhar & Caralisa Monteiro (Rock On! fame) make Tumse Hi Tumse the most hummable tune that puts a spring in every step when you listen to it. The few scenes that stand out include the sequence in the middle of the ocean and the gay club dance followed by the hilarious encounter. Among the rest of the cast, Zayed Khan is an insult to the name of his character! His screen presence is overkill in this 150 min drama and adds no value to the wafer thin plot. Priyanka won't be signing future projects based on this film and Ranbir would at best try to get over playing the serious-lost-romantic soul who needs redemption. Siddharth Anand also takes liberty in placing too many songs that outweigh the plot itself. Most of the story progresses in the songs and Vishal-Shekhar have done a brilliant job in engaging us with catchy tunes. They are greatly supported by Ravi Chandran's cinematography that is quite spectacular in shots of New York City, Nevada and San Francisco. While the songs, few comic scenes and dashing appearances of the lead actors may draw die- hard fans to the theaters, they will be let down by the plot, length, script and above all, the direction that simply fails to engage and entertain. The attempt to combine a serious subject such as suicide and depression with romance and adventure falls flat on the audience's brain that expects to see contemporary cinema with aspects they can take home. In this case, let the strangers play their tunes and watch them from afar if possible. 6.31 on a scale of 1-10.

First 10 to 20 Minutes will make you to expect a different movie, then comes the most boring scenes in recent times. It will check your temper till interval. Post Interval have few good scenes which you might enjoy with your lover and then comes the OLD Hindi Melodrama with lot of tears and then a Happy ending with a Hug. The Narration is too slow for viewers to adjust in the first half, while second have good scope for a good love story like that of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge or Jab We Met. Whatever happening in the name of Comedy will make you feel to walk away from theater, are just torturing. Most of the scene all around are predictable and sometimes is too boring and lengthy.The Story is as old as Color movies in Hindi. But the movie can watched for the chemistry and the beauty of the top two actors Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. Priyanka Chopra is the heart of the movie. Apart from good looking Ranbir Kapoor is not good enough for melodrama scenes. Two of the songs are also catchy and for a Musical film like this it should have given more importance to Songs. The Directed had tried to give a Hollywood touch in desi Love Fantasy story.
