A simple story well told. There isn't much entertainment value in the movie. Acting levels aren't shockingly amazing either. And you may not enjoy it at all if you are watching it with a group of friends seeking some good time pass.

Yet, the charismatic appeal of this movie is in its realistic and simple story. The characters looks so real and its easy to fall in love with them. Its instinctive to feel the feelings of the kids. The movie gives a very good perspective to a thought about source and value of happiness. Though the two movies have totally different stories and portrayed in different backgrounds, the essence of the movie reminds me of "The pursuit of happiness". I would like to watch this movie once every few years.

Excessive spending & misusing credit cards is largely a gender independent phenomena. The movie sadly has been made only from the female perspective of it. Or in simpler words, "Its a girlie movie." You may like it if you are a teen girl (or gay) and your maturity level is near average. For others, there is aggregate 5 minutes of good comedy. Other 100 minutes are predominantly waste of time
Additional bonus for gays is that Guy is way cuter then the girl in this movie.

Amongst the best romance based movies I have ever seen. There is nothing much to criticize . Some comedy attempts seem to be out of place & order. But everything else fits perfectly well. The storyline is pretty genuine. Running time is just perfect (96 mins). Highly recommended to any one except those who don't believe in love

You would have watched these characters (Rich spoiled students, poor Mr. nice student, mattoid ex-colonel, selfish relatives) in dozen different movies. The story is pretty much predictable too. Yet, this movie has sufficiently good points to make it a good watch. Namely first, the fine acting of Al Pacino and second, an Increasingly gripping drama, specially the last 30 minutes. This film gradually takes on you. The story have been narrated in very charming fashion. A very good watch for drama lovers.

The central character of the movie hardly gets 30% of the screen time, and even lesser share of the written script. There are too many sub plots and couple of them really spoils the mood of the movie. Probably director wanted to depict (lots of) dilemmas of Indian society then portraying a smoothly flowing story.

The characters shown in the movie are realistic. The scenes of movie seems disconnected, yet in their individualistic sense, most scenes are well directed and acted. Watch the movie if you like to see non-conclusive questions raising movie with out bothering about story flow. It’s a boring affair otherwise.
