Disclaimer: I love Kuch Kuch Hota Hai for those who said Always…kabhi kabhi was the new Kuch Kuch Hota Hai for today’s youths.

Always…Kabhi kabhi made me laugh a lot, not because it was funny but because it was so bad. The scenes, the dialogues, the situations and the issues in the movie were incredulous. The obvious tries to make the movie young and in tune with youths today was painful to watch.

The movie was filled with cringe-worthy lines and songs that were forced into the “story”. 2 of these painful lines were “Life ko experience karo google nahi” and “SMS kar raha hoga. Aaj kaal ke bacche tabhi saar jhukate hain”. There was even a song titled antenna!! I may not be the youth today but I am sure they have far better taste than what they movie offered them. The climax of the movie left me thinking “WTF” and I’m confident it wasn’t me alone who was wondering what was happening on the screen.

The movie had 4 debutant actors and each was worse than the other. They were all acting so randomly as if the movie was one very long audition process in which they forced expressions and emotions at whim and fancy regardless of the scene. Ali Fazal especially seemed inspired by Shah Rukh Khan but not in a good manner. Vijay Raaz was also totally a waste in the movie; what was his role, why was he in the movie?

All in all, the movie is perfect if you want to feel great about your normal life as the four characters in the movie have the most weird life and problems. Worst movie I have watched in a long time! I felt like I was being violated while watching the movie. God only knows why and how I sat through the whole movie... I should have walked out with the many viewers who started leaving 30min into the movie.
