7/10
Not very good, not bad either.

Firstly I'd like to say that people wanting to see this film should not read the synopsis, as it gives away to much and takes the "shock" or surprise factor from the films pacing.

It is good and simple love story of a spoilt guy who falls in love at first sight, then he tries to get her by any means and re discovers his sense of righteousness.

The story is very simple and just similar to any other film of its genre. It's nothing one hasn't seen in Bollywood. The second half fairs a little better than the first as it has a minute novelty factor. The film manages to keep you engaged but at the same time feels a bit "lengthy". It could have been cut short a bit by either removing a few unnecessary scenes or songs. As, it just has only a couple of good songs, one of them is the legendary and timeless "Zara Zara" by Oscar winner A.R. Rehman and Oscar nominee Bombay Jayshree. This is the song which brought the movie in limelight upon its release. A great song indeed.

Another commendable part of the film is the performance of R. Madhavan. He solely bears the film on his shoulders and sees it to the end. He depicts wide range of expressions along with a striking charm.

Direction: Good.

Script: Strong.

Acting: R Madhavan all the way. Dia is average and one fails to feel the love towards her character. Saif is Average. Anupam Ji is good. Side actors like Madhavan's friend Vrajesh has done a good job.

Music: Zara Zara is outstanding. Songs are good but are in excess.

An enjoyable film, a bit lengthy but a good watch.
