Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Did you people see the same film I saw?
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
View MoreThe 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
View More*** POSSIBLE SPOILER (but not really, since it's so predictable) ***OK, I should preface my review by stating that I'm not a huge, huge fan of Bollywood films, am not up to snuff on my actors, directors, and what-not, but do watch them on occasion (usually with my folks), and they can be fun, as in, "Singh is Kingg."This film was without a doubt, the absolute trashiest film I've watched in quite a while, Bollywood or not. So bad in fact, that I couldn't even finish watching it, as I felt a nap would be more imaginative.Not only that, the vaguely (and at times, overtly) misogynistic messages in this steaming pile was quite a shock. Sooooo ... stalking someone who's told you in no uncertain terms that they want a break (hence the title), showing up unexpectedly at their door, and playing on their emotions is totz kewl? ?:-/Alrighty then. I guess I'm not up on my desi culture (and yes, I'm brown, in case it matters.)
View MoreDanish Aslam's 'Break Ke Baad' is an average attempt, which tries to be super-cool, but falls flat. The characters appear confused after a certain point, the writing gets hyper, so hyper, that it even culminates unconvincingly.'Break Ke Baad' is about a couple, who take a Break from their decade old relationship. It's the chick who decides to do so. From there on, it's just how the boy tries to bring back things properly.The idea is fresh, and to give the writer-director his due, he even successfully starts the film. The first 30-35 minutes to hold your attention, and you expect the graph to just go upper. Sadly, the second hour, is a total mess. The writing isn't tight from there on, and even it's characters begin to bore. As far as the climax, it's the weakest link. It leaves no impact whatsoever! Music by Vishal-Shekhar is cool, and so is Deepika Padukone's performance. Imran Khan, however, doesn't leave an impression. The supporting cast lend able support.On the whole, An exciting idea gone wrong!
View MoreWhen the movie started, I thought its gonna be a different story. But gradually it disappointed a lot. The story can be narrated in one line, its so simple and boring..it is a repeated story in Hindi movies. It was unbearable at most of the time. Imran has worked nicely according to his role, whenever he has appeared on the screen I felt relief. Shahana and Yudhisthir has done a good job too, both of them have done justification with their roles. Deepika should stop overacting, she is carrying the similar kind of acting in all of her movies.I am giving 3 out of 10, for Imran, Shahan and Yudhisthir.I recommend not to watch it.
View MoreWith a rather simple plot, Break Ke Baad explores and examines the relationship between the lead pair Imran and Deepika. This fun, fresh, and light-hearted romcom contains some really nice themes and messages that are badly needed for today's times. In an age where break-ups are too common and used as an escape from life's troubles, a quick fix to a relationship going through a rough phase, or a convenient denial of one's own weaknesses, we end up losing and hurting our loved ones and well-wishers. It takes courage, patience, acceptance, and resilience to keep two people together. While we may not realize it in the pursuit of freedom and independence, it's these relationships that brings us the most contentment. The film doesn't downplay or discourage ambition; on the contrary, it does show it as necessary to developing oneself. However, one's means of achieving his/her goals should not be done through rebellious means or by despisement of others' attitudes, but rather by cooperating and understanding those who are closest to you. The film has a great starcast and direction as well as nice music.
