This might be an unpopular opinion, but, I liked the movie quite a bit. Infact, after hearing all those negative reviews and having no expectations whatsoever, I thought the movie was great. Keeping aside some weird acting (I don't necessarily mean bad) from Sara & Aryan and lack of any hard-hitting catchy songs, the movie was surprisingly engaging & original. The Love Aaj Kal theme was beautifully woven together with all those parallel flashback storytelling style and the shear realistic emotional moments were all really deep and even gut-wrenching at times. Despite being a complicated yet grounded reflection at the relationships, the movie never felt messy or boring. All thanks to the brilliant direction from Imtiaz.
And leaving all else aside, at least the movie was fresh. It's rewatchable, It's deep and all in all a good popcorn pick.
It's just my opinion 😉
