Despite what everyone said about “Saif’s acting could be better” or “It’s so unrealistic! People don’t have just clean happy breakups” or “Saif is NOT a Sardar!” blah blah blah.

THIS was one of the best films to really understand the progression of relationship of today’s generation!

From the meet-cute to the getting-to-know-each-other to the saying-I-Love-You-without-actually-saying-it to the eventual separation, we guarantee that every cinemagoer could relate to at least one aspect of Jai & Meera’s prem kahani!

The higlight of the film was  2 specific things; the flashback of Veer’s love story and Jai’s time in San Francisco. Not only was Saif Ali Khan so convincing as the young gabroo sardar Veer, he was able to emote with such electricity Jai’s enthusiasm and downward spiral at Golden Gate Inc.

BUT, let’s give the credit where it’s really due- director Imtiaz Ali for seamlessly melding the kal and aaj so beautifully.

So our verdict: WATCH IT.

And of course if you are still iffy about whether you should go see the film or not (which is crazy because you should!)…
