The return of a thoroughly enjoyable simple Bollywood love story.
No complicated triangles or quadrangles. No complicated shades of (unrequited) love, lust, friendships. None of that big urban city heavy weather angst. Just boy meets girl and the story that follows till a happily ever after in small town India (and Singapore!).
Alia is fab as always. But this is Varun's movie throughout. You love with him, cry with him, laugh at him, root for him, and clap for him as he struggles against his patriarchal upbringing to become the man he truly is, - a feminist, in love with an independent woman.

Music disappoints but a progressing Jhansi and Kota, physically and socially, is a really refreshing setting for the story. Bottomline: Don't think. Just watch.
