Reviews
Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Jithin K Mohan A lot of Bollywood cliches are told here in a way that feels fresh, probably because the director is a woman who is able to draw out the novelties in a female protagonist, also giving her a profession of a cinematographer that is generally uncommon. Going to a therapist in India is like abandoning your position in the society as a sane person due to which a lot of people never try it out. So this was a welcome and long awaiting concept to be a feel-good Bollywood film in which some of the biggest stars like Shahrukh Khan and Alia Bhatt gives charming performances. Kaira is not always a likeable person and neither did they add any unrealistic romantic turns that usually plagues Bollywood but her character arc is relatable. Even though preachy at times, India will never have enough films talking about the f**ked up parenting of the country and the trauma's that is passed through generations.
Nirav Gohil Meet Kaira, a complicated girl. Sometimes you feel she is cute and funny and lovely and what she does is right. Sometimes you feel what's wrong with her! Kaira has problems just like every other human being. She wants to get out of her problems but doesn't know what she should do. Enter Dr. Jehangir Khan i.e. Sharukh Khan. I don't know what others felt about the relationship between Kaira and Dr. Jehangir but for me it was kind of Father-Daughter relationship! For Jehangir, Kaira was just like a child who doesn't know what's wrong with her and why she was behaving as different. He tries to help her through his various stories and techniques. He was like a father trying to teach her daughter what world is and how to live in it. Accept what your heart likes and discard what your heart doesn't like. Beautifully shot film in the backdrop of scenic Goa. Good story. Alia and Sharukh acted very well in their respective roles. Overall a nice touching film with some beautiful messages to remember.
Sagar One of the best movies of 2016 for sure.There is a simplicity and originality in the film that stays with you hours after you've watched the movie. Alia Bhatt shines as an actress, giving yet another outstanding performance that leaves you speechless. She dives into her character with ease and conviction and ticks all the right boxes delivering an emotional performance.Can't wait to see more of her films soon.A genuine actor who is a superstar.And then there is King Khan. Shah Rukh Khan plays a perfect support both to on-screen kaira and off-screen alia in the role of Jehangir. It was very cool of Srk to do this film and we are left feeling even we need a mentor/guru like Jehangir. It's the chemistry between Alia and Srk that keeps the film moving and the audience involved.The soundtrack is brilliant.Good supporting actors and cinematography. Great work by writer-director Gauri Shinde. A must-watch for sure.
