Director: Vinil Mathew

Starring: Sidharth Malhotra, Parineeti

THE PLOT: Romantic Nikhil (Sidharth) believes in full commitment in whatever he does.

Meanwhile free spirited Meeta( Parineeti ) is an achiever when it comes to her professional and personal life.

Nikhil is engaged to be married to Meeta’s elder sister Karishma.

Meeta on the other hand has been away from her family for several years chasing her ambitious dreams as a chemical engineer.

But when she returns for a family wedding an eccentric Meeta realises that she needs to settle down with a man similar to Nikhil’s character.

During the wedding preparations Meeta and Nikhil begin to share a special bond.

And they eventually begin to realise they might be staring to love each other.

Being fully devoted to Karishma, will Nikhil have the guts to walk out on her fiancée.

And to hook up with Meeta instead?

THE VERDICT: This coming of age romance depicting the complexities and uncertainties of a relationship between two contrasting individuals is well portrayed by the director.

While he film does have its own share of flaws, the excellent chemistry between the lead pair masks these imperfections.

Dashing romeo Sidharth comes up with a confident and charming act after his first film, Student Of the Year.

His performance falls short during some of the more challenging emotional moments.

But I am sure he can improve with more experience.

Parineeti steals the limelight with excellent comic timin.

And she pulls off her complex and screwed up character with élan.

It’s not easy for an actress to play a ‘misfit’.

Parineeti carries it off so well to prove she is one of the finest upcoming actresses in Bollywood.

Final word – its not a perfect romance but the delicate underlying humour throughout and the performances of the endearing leading stars makes it a worthwhile watch.
