I've read many bad reviews about this movie here and honestly it baffles me. This is, without a doubt, one of the better films made in Bollywood EVER. If Slumdog Millionaire can get regular 9s and 10s then this film deserves much more. You can sense the intimate direction and camera-work(this movie was shot with a regular DSLR) in every scene. Indians are so used to crass films where you don't have to think, that whenever a movie like this comes their way, it's just too much work for their fat asses - sad but true. IMO, this film enfolds the viewer(or at least me) into all four lives. Which is why you can understand with Arun(Amir Khan), a loner gets so into Yasmin's(Kriti Malhotra) life and why he is so affected by her death. Shai's(Monica Dogra) overnight attraction to Arun is a beautiful contrast - and a reminder that there are always more than one path - to Munna's(Prateik Babbar)gradual fondness for Shai. Furthermore, this film deserved a good score and Santaolalla(one of my favorites) did justice to that. I have been an Amir Khan fan for a while and now I am well and truly a Kiran Rao fan as well.
