They all play sad to the best of their abilities. None of the failures above can be blamed on the actors. Could there be a worse crime?ĭon't I need to see why Vasudha's ( Vidya Balan) value system is so strongly ignited when what I know of her actually is that she doesn't believe in it? Don't I need to know why Aarav ( Emraan Hashmi) thinks he is devoid of love and affection when what I see is a mother who loves him immensely? Well, even if I haven't been told the opposite, don't I need to be shown why Hari ( Rajkummar Rao) is the hateful misogynist he is and yet claims to make the woman of his life so important that he manipulates his whole life around her? Not to mention, why are all of them martyrs? And where did all the feminism come from suddenly? The film was most certainly not about that. It takes the romance out of pain in love. He's sadder and oh he's saddest.” Mind you, these lines aren't being said by a voiceover, but by the characters themselves.Įven if you don't hear it out loud it is like one character says to another after having heard of the latter's pain, “I see your tragedy and I raise you to my horrific past.” And guess what? You as an audience, never really get into the thick of the sadness.
The romantic in me needs to the story behind the sadness. Even if it is being pretended to be said with the utmost sincerity and puppy eyes. But, I ain't being swept off the floor by over-dramatized, loud background music and filmy dialogue either.
