Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

vishal kumar both the actor and the actress have potentials considering their previous movies, specially Sushan Rajput. but in this movie since start i found it has no story and if it has it is not interesting at all,i waited and waited but even that there seems that there is no direction and no sense in certain scenes..very poor script.

Harshit Shah Okay, so this is my first review ever. I would like to start with their acting. Sushant and Kriti have both done a marvelous work in this movie. They have natural acting for this movie and I really loved it. The way they laugh, talk, the lines everything seems to fall in perfectly in the movie. This first half of the movie is a bit romantic type and it's very cute how they with each other and how they're in totally in-sync with each other's thoughts. The songs are the best part of the movie, you should really listen to them and watch the videos too. I really loved the video song of DARASAL, it is like just so nice as in the start of relationship where everything just goes in the best way. You might think that the walk and talk of the actors after the intermission (when Kriti is thinking about her previous life) is not that kind of good, but you must see that they have made it in that way because their previous life is supposed to be of long time ago, where they do not have the decency of proper talking with others.You can actually watch this movie, it is really good. Terms I would give to this movie are : Romantic, Awesome acting, Superb songs, Script was nice, Flirty funny.

binducherungath Raabta, a film by producer turned director Dinesh Vijan, attempts the same old formulae of reincarnation. But films with reincarnation concept are very much made in the past as well viz. Mehbooba, Om Shanti Om, Karan Arjun, Karz, Ek Paheli Leela etc., a few of them being successful films and a few others did not do so well. According to Dr. Brian Weiss, a Past-Life Regression Therapist and author of many books, the souls move in families. Certain inputs from him convey that destiny will place us in a particular circumstance, which will encounter with a particular person at appointed time and place. This will happen with every person we have chosen to bring into this lifetime. The film Raabta has such protagonists, coincidences bring them together, but somehow the treatment given to the idea is not at all new and not different. The whole concept of reincarnation is dealt in a very lousy manner. The very meaning of Raabta is 'Connection' and unfortunately audience may hardly be able to connect with the film.Shiv (Sushant Singh Rajput) travels (or moves) to Budapest along with his best friend Varun. Shiv is supposed to be a banker, but one hardly sees him beyond chasing / flirting with girls, partying etc. He meets Saira (Kriti Sanon) who runs a Chocolate store. Both of them feel instant connect with one another. Saira does get nightmare of getting drowned. She often wonders why she gets these dreams. Saira's character is developed as the one who is confused, although apparently cool. Zakir (Jim Sarbh) , a liquor baron, enters into the scene and events take a different turn altogether. And as it is predictable, the lives of Shiv, Saira and Zakir are intertwined from the past life itself. A love comet is also scheduled to fly across the skies for the first time in 800 years. The film takes us to their past lives. And there we get to see Rajkummar Rao in a very much unrecognizable get up. In fact, certain elements in the past life story is not very well developed. The story weaving is very poor.How Shiv, Saira and Zakir were connected in the past life? What purpose was left behind that the paths of three of them cross ? Sushant has certainly evolved a great actor but in Raabta he goes overboard at times, his acting looks a bit superficial. Kriti Sanon is beautiful and her character is almost consistent in her nature, be it in past life or present life. But could not find her character getting developed. The on-screen chemistry between Sushant and Kriti might have looked great, but this is not explored appropriately. Jim Sarbh (Neerja fame) is OK. Overall the actors are trapped in a confused plot. The cameo by Deepika Padukone shaking her legs on the title song Raabta does not do any good to the film. Raabta means 'Connection', but ironically the film fails to connect with the audience. The same old concept of reincarnation is dealt in a very lousy manner. The actors are trapped in a confused lot.

Lina Hun First half of the film. Lets say I wasn't too impressed. I came to watch mainly for the modern aspect of the story, but I found the characters to be a bit annoying? Shiv has quite a strong personality and comes off very strong, meanwhile Saira is more tolerable. Lets just say the characters are quite intense. Although I may have not liked their characters as much, I did enjoy experiencing their love and relationship. Those were the times I actually enjoyed the characters.I feel like there was no sense of direction. There was a lot of things happening, as if the director just threw in a bunch of scenes in there to give us an understanding of the characters and their relationship, but it just made the film a bit sloppy.There is a lot of sound effects in attempt to make the scenes more dramatic but I personally didn't like it. There were sound effects/music in like almost every scene. Some scenes were a bit over-dramatic, where the characters would say their dialogues in a more cheesy than serious tone. Definitely didn't like that because I really wanted some scenes that were more conversational and serious.The second half however I really enjoyed because it focuses on their modern day story and how it ties into their past lives. Although the modern story failed to gain my interest, the half about reincarnation is definitely worth a watch.I definitely prefer their past life characters way more than their present day characters, mainly because it was more serious and less cheesy dialogue.It's not a bad film. Cheesy and a bit over dramatic, but it did get an emotional response from my friend and I. There were times where we were angry, surprised, in awe, and were just like YESSS.It definitely had potential to be a great film, but anyways great job to the cast on their performance.So would I recommend it? If you like cheesiness, over-dramatic love stories then definitely. But it you want something more serious with a more complex script and story line, then no. I'd say the film is more directed toward the younger crowd.
