“What do you do with your film bad to keep your audience hooked?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYou add music to EVERY scene. And you know what happens after?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYour movie still remains trash.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat was bad? Wrong question. What was right would be an easier one to answer.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eProbably only Vicky Kaushalu0026#39;s performance. No doubt Kaushal, like Ranveer Singh, is few of the many whose work alone can do all the heavy-lifting for the film. Tripti is gorgeous, yes, but ends up playing a cliché generic character for whose dreams you hardly relate to. On a script level, all she does is react to most of the events happening to her. Hardly ever does she act. Very one tone depiction.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe edit was horrendous. As the title says, it feels like this is a reel. Whereu0026#39;s the sense of cinema, craft, pacing, rhythm? Is Production Design and Costume the only things catching Dharmau0026#39;s attention these days?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSaving the worst for the last, the Direction is simply bad. Reflect on what disaster youu0026#39;ve made Anand ji.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere were many strong laugh moments, granted. But comedy is not just executed through situations. Many desperate attempts were made to induce a chuckle.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd the obsession with Past Bollywood references and Music. Good God let the past be. Pay your Screenwriters and Musicians and Lyricists well, and they will make Gold for you again, as they have done so eloquently in the past.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTHINK BEFORE PRODUCTION, please.”
