Well, this one is not actually a film but a travelogue across Europe soaked in romance alongwith bits and pieces of witty comedy spread here and there.. I won't talk about the storyline bcz i myself hate reading one before watching the movie - yes, don't walk in to the movie theatre expecting a solid script because the script is wafer thin and it has been tried and tested several times before - I had huge expectations from Imtiaz Ali but he seems to be going on a repeat mode unfortunately.. K.Mohannan has done a superb job with the cinematography and the music by Pritam is hummable with one or two songs standing out like Main banno teri Radha which will be played in parties for quite sometime now.. Editing could have been much more tighter especially in the first half.. The second half was much better but sadly had a cliched ending..
Now coming to the acting department and there is only the lead pair to talk about bcz everyone else plays a miss and blink role - Chandan Roy Sanyal stands out as Bangladeshi immigrant inspite of that.. Anushka Sharma - take a bow - she just killed it with her Gujrati accent and mannerisms and almost stole the show - she matched shoulder to shoulder with her enigmatic co-star.. She brings Sejal to life effortlessly..
SRK is just like old wine - he just seems to get better and better with age in regards to romance where he just kills it without blinking.. Plays Harry to the tee - looks dapper as a charming tour guide.. Eyes and expressions does most of the talking..
Ofcourse, this is certainly not the best film of SRK or ANUSHKA but it is definitely watchable and peeps who love the orginial Bollywood line of song, dance and romance will actually love the movie as well.. I just hope that the script was a lot more tighter - this movie is watchable only on the basis of the top notch performance dwlivered by the lead pair - no one else would have played Harry or Sejal better..
As they say, who cares about the tour when you have such a handsome tour guide and a ravishing tourist - forget about the flaws and simply enjoy the journey..
Verdict: Recommended..
