The movie is exasperating. That's the word for it. The whole experience.
STORY
The characters are Rumi, Vicky and Robbie. The narrative is illogical as no one behaves in the way they are expected to behave. So the contrast that should have been portrayed by the wild Rumi gets lost. The families don't behave in the way normal people would too. Rumi has been portrayed as this wild, 'muhphat' Tom boyish girl who cleans up well if she wants to, doesn't fear anyone and does what she wants to. Her attraction towards a fun loving, irresponsible and quirky Vicky is understandable but the way Robbie behaves and the reasons he gives for those actions are out of this world. There are several questions that would keep popping up in your mind while watching this movie and you won't get the answers, you won't feel satisfied or feel convinced that, the reason thrown at you is enough for the completely scandalous things happening in the movie. Kashyap has tried to push the supposedly "comic" scenes ans they don't work. Because the premise is so tragic. As the story is as new as the front door mat of every middle class home, what one would expect is some kind of realistic treatment of the subject which is missing completely. You won't be able to root for any character frankly. Rumi is not lovable like Kangana's character in Tanu Weds Manu (2010), Aishwarya's character in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam(1999) or Padmini's Kolhapure's character in Woh Saat Din (1983). And I blame both the direction and Pannu's lack of acting skills for this situation.
ACTING
Pannu is an utter disappointment. Not that she doesn't try, but she is just so monotonous. Kaushal has done a good job but he seems too sweet and plain to look like an irresponsible man child who is a DJ and also Punjabi munda. He lacks the physical despicable-Ness of the character. Bachhan sails through the movie, does a good job as he mostly does. His acting seems realistic sometimes but the premise of his character is ridiculous and so the flow keeps breaking.
The supporting cast has done a good job but the premise is again ridiculous as no one behaves like they are expected to behave in situations which were presented in the movie. They all seem to have given up on their kids (meaning the three leads) which doesn't make any sense. The complete disregard of society as a character in the movie makes the movie less interesting and exhausting.
MUSIC
The music is beautiful, funky and fresh but it has been used at the most unwanted places. Some songs are fine, but there was no need to have a song after every ten minutes. It breaks the flow again.
CONS
The movie runs for more than two hours which was not required. Confusion could have been brought down a lil bit.
PROS
Music. Beginning. Unconventional story telling which falls flat unfortunately
