i liked this a lot first hour takes its time but then pace picks up and its very good . .Kajol is superb here . Ajay donot look convincing in first half but second half his performance makes for it . divya dutt and summeet Raghavan play there part well .
but too many closeups and speaking you know something 100 times becomes irritating .
I watched this today. It was one of the few films I was looking forward this year but I was disappointed.
For a romance there wasn’t a whole lot of romance. Lots of talking about romance and talking about it and talking about it but very little of it between the characters.
There was little depth to Kajol’s character. We never really get to know her inner life. We never meet any of her friends. Because of this I wasn’t as moved by her story as I should have been.
I also found some of the alzheimer episodes overdone.
Both Ajay and Kajol did well but I wouldn’t call them great performances by any means.
For me the film was more style of substance so I walked a way disappointed with the film.
One positive is I did like some of the music very much.
Saw Krazzy 4, another bad rip off.one of the worst movies to have come out from filmcraft.
U Me Aur Hum lifted from The Notebook is good, could have been much better.Ajay does a good job as a first time director(scores in the technical aspects) and acts well too.Kajol as always plays her part perfectly well.the last 30 minutes is the highlight of the movie and it definitely makes the movie worth a watch.I will give it a 3 out of 5.
