This movie was on my radar since I watched Jab We Met and Rockstar. Imtiaz Ali is coming of age director for Bollywood and he has guts to change the perspective of Bollywood films. Imtiaz Ali's first venture Socha Na Tha is an old wine in a new bottle but it's guaranteed that bottle is quite new with a new comer brand of wine inside. Well, the flavor might taste likewise but it's fragrance and presentation are quite delicious. Story was much similar to that concept of Triangular Love Story. But its premise, screenplay are a complete fun to watch.
This movie discusses two major topics. Misconception of arranged marriage and love marriage. Another, tackling power of youths in these kind of situations. It asks the youth that are they really capable of inviting their different stage of life i.e. marriage? Are they satisfied with the life they lived till now with their parents supporting them? Would they be able to tackle lifestyle with one more person in their family as their spouse? Another major thing is, do the youths really know what kind of partner they want? Or can they really find someone themselves the perfect choice for their whole life? Also, if they have been in relationship, are they ready to take that relation further for many years ahead? Or would they get diverted to another one due to their capricious hearts?
The plus points are there're no dull moments in the film. Film is a roller-coaster ride and it's a real treat to watch various scenes in it. Movie might get emotional at times but this one doesn't tend to stick to the scenes for longer time. Repetitive premises are poor to handle sometimes but it's the performances of characters that lead the film in an adventurous direction. The confusion in the characters' mind is well captured that it sounds almost next to real life incidents. Abhay Deol and Ayesha Takia both are a treat to watch. Go watch it if you're a Rockstar fan.
