Giving the devil its due "London Paris New York" manages to shine primarily because of the chemistry between the protagonists - Ali Zafar and Aditi Rao Hydari. It cannot be refuted that both have put in some serious homework before each shot was canned. Its evident that "London Paris New York" looked promising on paper, and Bollywood's answer to "When Harry Met Sally". Sadly the writing failed to translate the effect on the celluloid. The running time is about 100-minutes which gives an impression that the editing was super crisp, making you wish that certain parts should have been elaborated for the emotion to sink into the audience.
The three distinct looks in each chapters have been worked upon quite well. In terms of songs "Voh Dekhnay Mein" by Ali Zafar stands out while the rest seem force fit. Ali Zafar gets the entire canvas to showcase his talent and he utilises the opportunity quite well. He emulates Shah Rukh Khan but that shouldn't steal the thunder from this budding artiste. If not anything this movie should make the film fraternity to take notice of "Yeh Saali Zindagi" girl Aditi Rao Hydari. The supporting cast should have been done away completely (infact Dalip Tahil in a miss and blink role comes across tad stupid).
Anu Menon certainly knows to hold the directorial reigns and is a candidate to watch out for.
