I was shocked to see such low rating on IMDB and from Google users. Although the film deals with a familiar story, it is definitely enjoyable. The maker has balanced the communal angle in the movie by showing, very realistically, the good and bad from both Hindu and Muslim communities. The makers have created a movie based on connection between the two lead roles and have relegated religion to the background in defining their relation. In my opinion, viewers have perceived the lead relationship narrowly, which resonates with popular opinion in society. Thus the low rating. If you are an open minded person who wants to enjoy a cliche story with fairly knitted plot, go and watch it. Also, one of the qualities that I admire about the movie is, despite being 2 hours 40 minutes long, it feels fast paced one.

Muramba is a marathi dish made out of fruits, primarily of Mango. Muramba sometimes tastes sweet and other times sour. Thats what the film tells you about life - it is sometimes sweet and other times sour, and with right understanding between partners, we can enjoy life. Muramba tells a story of a modern couple, modern parents in a modern era. But the makers have skillfully inserted non-ephemeral elements in the films such as making efforts for what you love, facing your fears, basics of love etc. The film's minimalistic background score allows one to focus on the dialogues in the film with gravity. All the lead characters have done a wonderful job in the film, especially Ameya. Now about the plot, the film starts with break up of three year relationship of Alok and Indu one night. Upon realising the same next morning, Alok's parents effort for conciliation between the two and the entire films surrounds around the theme. (I won't tell you if they succeeded.) The film has many humurous, funny and emotional moments. Above all, it's a film keeps you hooked to the screen. May be within the plot few more scenes could have been added to make the film more impactful. But overall, it's a refreshing film one must watch!

The film is centred around the idea that one must do what one is naturally good at. It gives a crucial message that if one does in his life what he loves, he'll be successful and happy. The lead characters played by Ranbir and Deepika is very good. Talking about details, Ranbir had a tough job playing the role and truly justifying it. As an actor he's done his job pretty well, however, the flaw lies in mid-film plot. Ranbir's transition from his artificial self to true self could have been better written. Deepika is too good in her role she's tried to deliver. Its hard to imagine one person loving and waiting for another for 4 years, without even seeing him. But Deepika's performance makes you believe that its possible. She convinces you. Overall, the film falls short of being memorable for a long time. The culprit is the plot. It feels in the movie that much more powerful could have been placed. Lastly, if you haven't watched it, you should watch it for it has a great message, songs and beautiful performances by Ranbir and Deepika!
