Watched the movie in a theatre in Delhi, exactly 27 people there for the third show on the first day of release. Either the bad review has gotten so fast or they are just celebrating Diwali, I dont know.
No claps, no laughs, people seemingly so eager to get away from their seats and go out into the smoke filled cold night air. I wasn't surpised. The movie is a bore, no doubt about it. The songs interspersed at the most inopportune moments when we die there to get the stuff over with, Sonam's kiddy laugh (no offence, but found so weird in the bluesy atmosphere), isolated streets (much like the empty film house), city painted like a faded water color portrait, 24 hour nights, changing water levels, so many technical goof ups....I cant count more. Movie is so unreal and detached from world, I wonder how such soul less unreality can ever be conceived by "ur gr8ns Bhasali Bhai". Gulabji was authentic (minus those aweful extras). Plus the grandmother was lovely.
Friends if you dont want to ruin your diwali with a damp squib like this. avoid this.
If you like to watch this, then watch it for Ranbir and the old ladies. And also for one lovely Eid song, nothing much.
