Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz and mixed reviews, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Right up the alley of romantics and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Sits nicely alongside Jab Tak Hai Jaan.
The mood: Warm and romantic.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 57 min.
What might put you off: It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

It is a story of Kabir, a carefree guy who has been studying engineering for the last ten years now, whose life goes for a sixer when he meets the quirky and kinky Kuhu. Kabir always wanted a girl to love but he never in his wildest dreams thought he would encounter a girl who could make him dance around circles, run around naked, ride cycles without seats, wear high heels, and many other things
