| User Reviewfamiliar sVedant narrates the story in flashback about how his love life (first crush) with Jenny was hindered due to his hearing-impaired elder brother Vidur, who gets a major share of parents' attention, and Ratan, the essentialist villain rival. Set in the 80s, this coming of age experience flick by a teenager would have worked better had it been penned better. Some of the sequences which are made to look oh-so-significant finally led nowhere. The bonding between the siblings appeared weak to me. And owing to tnat, sudden changes in the feelings, at times, appeared pretentious. Besides, Vedant acts as an ace in the hole & overtly disappointed for quite a lot of scenes unnecessarily. I get it for some of the scenes, but am lost for rest of 'em. Performances were first-rate except for Tanvi Azmi who overacted at times. The movie could have been a far better family entertainer, but I'd to make do with what was handed over to me. And so I generously did. |
