I know this comes in a bit late. Most of you must have already watched this one or planned to skip it. The former can let me know if you agree and the latter can decide whether they can catch this on a DVD once it arrives.
I did not get a lot of positive reviews for this one ( that being one of the prime reason for delaying watching it). The main complaint being the length of the movie. For a movie running for almost 3hrs the pace was not fast enough to keep me glued to my seat (and away from the fast forward button )
The other thing which I didn't like was the narration by their family dog (Aamir Khan voiceover). Its a novel concept and I did like it in the beginning but as the movie progressed it seemed irritating. The dog stating the obvious at times and narrating incidents which are being shown right there. Like an audio subtitle. There is a scene where the dog just looks towards, Ranbir and Anushka as they meet the first time. That's hilarious. But then he goes on to explain how they are now thinking about each other etc etc. Also Zoya narrates human emotions and how we react to incidents in life from his perspective. Remember school days when we used to watch Wild safari on Discovery (dubbed in the funniest hindi accent. " Ab nar khana dhoondhne ke liye jungle mein jata hai aur mada apne bachon ko sambhalti hai"). Pluto gives the same feeling. The movie is like a human documentary for the dog world.
But keeping those two things aside, the movie is really nice and is definitely a one time watch. The one liners are hilarious. The stereotype characters chosen are quite believable, like the uncle who uses an extra "s" after every English word, Priyanka's mother in law who is a hypochondriac with n number of diseases. Each couple in the movie is different and has a different agenda, But the solution for all their problems is being vocal about one's thought. This is the central theme of the story and is summed up really well by Zoya ( via Pluto, the dog) at the end of the movie. Of course the actual end of the movie is vague. It feels that they kept on making it until they realised its been more than 170min.
Anil Kapoor and Ranveer Singh are the stars of the movie. Rest all are supportive. Music is not that great.
All in all it's a good movie but flawed in its presentation.
Zoya did get her Luck by chance Doobara, but definitely not the third time ;) !
