My 2-cents worth: The movie doesn't excite. The 1st half is decently more enjoyable compared to the 2nd half. Ranbir has acted well. His dancing is great. However his tiny mouth (compared to the size of his face) just irritates me! The girls are alright. Theek thak movie for me. Might have been more enjoyable had I watched it with my boyfriend..

Ratings: 12/6 ( its THAT good)
My 2-cents worth: We have been deprived of an amazing actor in the form of Farhan Akhtar! He's brilliant, the total package.. Good looking, charming, hot body, good voice and awesome acting. The movie itself was just simply beautiful. Simple story but filmed amazingly. A MUST watch movie, esp if you loved the songs. I had to contain myself from dancing in the theatre...
Every actor is flawless and just adds to the story.. Arjun Rampall is hot as ever but its Farhan who stole the show for me!

My 2-cents worth: How predictable can a movie get? Yet another story we have seem with a borrowed twist from Hollywood (Just My Luck).. Nothing great.

My 2-cents worth: I don't really know what Rahul Bose was thinking when he agreed to do this movie.. Such a let down from an actor of his potential

The Reunion

Glancing at his watch for the umteempth time he paced the length of the airport car park. The seconds seem to be crawling by. Clutching the single long stem red rose he strode impatiently to the flights arrival information display. Glancing over he saw that her flight had just landed. Breaking into a smile he felt a shiver of anticipation run down his spine.

The waiting for her to walk out of the airport was excruciating like it always was for him. Finally around 20 minutes later he caught sight of her dark brown curly hair. Restraining himself from running past the airport security into the arrival hall, he waited for her to come out. The moment she emerged into the arrival hall he sprinted towards her. Engulfing her in a bear hug he lifted her off her feet.

“I missed you honey. The past week without you has been a torture for me. I can’t stay away from you for so long.” He said burying his head into her hair.

Laughing she tore herself from the hug and planted a kiss on his lips. Their reunions after each of her frequent business trips were always this exciting and melodramatic. She loved them! They made her remember how much he loved her and genuinely missed her. Accepting her customary rose she slipped her hand into his as they walked towards their parked car.

As they drove home she laid her head on his shoulder, enjoying the familiar feeling of his body. She smiled thinking how even after 3 years of marriage a week of separation still felt like a month. She prayed that this feeling would burn strong 10 years down the road.
