I was checking that IMDb score and though. Did I miss something last year?
Nope. I am not even sure why it is tagged sci-fi. I found it slow and got bored after a while, just waiting for the story to unfold, with little surprises, and no real twist. The viewer can probably go to the loo without missing much of the story. Although there is potential for reality/dream scenarios, this movie hardly exploits it. I was intrigued when a second user was introduced to the screen, hoping for the story to develop in complexity, only to go back to the romance storyline after a second. Maybe a missed opportunity.
In fact the budget is probably the most impressive aspect of this movie, and it shows that one doesn't need multi-million budget to get good quality images on screen. But like most Indian movies, it seems that the director can't get away from Bollywood love stereotypes stories, as if stuck in time. Don't get me wrong, the film was reasonably pleasant to watch with typical Indian humour all the way through, but if the director wants to explore some new genre, he is going to need to make a bigger effort in his writing to satisfy the effervescence of the human mind.
What the production did get right, was managing a score of 8.5, but we all know India can make miracles when it comes to the internet. ;)
