Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The first must-see film of the year.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Initially I did not expect too much from this movie after reading reviews. Great acting from all, songs, Story OK, cinematography.. coolSushant & Kriti both were awesome. Story could have been little better. Connection was missing.Overall entertaining movie

1. SUMMARY: RAABTA tells the story of two lovers Shiv (Sushant Singh Rajput) and Saira (Kriti Sanon) who live in Budapest. Once they both go to a party where Saira meets Zakir (Jim Sarbh), a wealthy liquor baron. Later, Shiv tells Saira that he has to leave for Vienna for a week. Saira becomes all alone and now befriends Zakir. Zakir takes her to a party and gets her fainted. He takes her to his house and tells her that 100 years ago, they were lovers but did not unite. Eventually, Saira also realizes the fact that she is also reincarnated. Now what happens next, will Saira marry Zakir and leave Shiv? or will she betray Zakir and stay with Shiv?2. STORY, SCREENPLAY AND DIALOGUES: Story, screenplay and dialogues seem to be good in the first half of the film but becomes a big disaster in the second half for the audience. Overall writers, Siddharth-Garima can to much better than this.3.PERFORMANCES: Sushant and Kriti's performance in the film was mediocre whereas Jim's acting deserves good appreciation.4. DIRECTION AND OTHER TECHNICAL ASPECTS: After producing a few films, Dinesh Vijan has made his directorial debut. His narrative style in this film is not bad, but he has an ability to make a film better than this. Music by JAM8 and Background score by Sachin-Jigar is really amazing, Cinematography by Martin Preiss and Editing by A. Sreekar Prasad and Huzefa Lokhandwala is reasonably good.5. BOX - OFFICE VERDICT: Raabta has a total budget of 50 crore which seems to be impossible for the film to be a Box-Office "Hit", but has a few chances to recover's cost. Overall, this film is not at all profitable for the distributors but can recover their budget by satellite and various other rights.6. RATING: Because of the film's weak script and poor hype, I'll give it 1.5/4.

Personally, I feel that we are now way past a stage in Bollywood, to rely on scripts dealing with 'punar janam' unless, there's something really unseen in it. Raabta comes across as a mishmash of a contemporary love story that suddenly changes to an unlikely twist of Game Of Thrones. While the makers try hard to change the whole angle of Rajamouli's Magadheera, it doesn't really get any better. The only saviour in the movie was its Soundtrack with instant hits like Ik Vaari and Raabta sung by Arijit. There was a lack of chemistry between Sushant and Kriti and this add to the disappointment of 'Raabta'. Avoid this one and the save your money. 'Raabta' is strictly no to watch in theatre.My Rating : 2/5

**Non Spoiler Review**Story: Are you Kidding me? Even Kids don't like these type of tales.Direction: First Movie directed by Dinesh Vijan and he completely blew it off!!!Acting: Only Sushant Singh Rajpoot Did a so called "Acting" and that's not enough too. Rest of the cast members were just messing around.Music: The only saving Boat in the sea full of Mud.Summing up in one Sentence "You'll Come out of Theater Beating Your Head"
