It’s true that love can strike a person anywhere, anytime. But the way it has been portrayed in ‘Socha Na Tha’ makes one really wonder if this adage is right. This film could have been a cute entertainer (we badly need one) but somewhere something goes wrong.

If the Deols think that this is one helluva launch pad for the last of their generation, then they are wrong. The second half of the film lacks charm and holding power. It is also very predictable. On the positive side, this film has its share of light moments and is engrossing in parts. On the flip side, it is also regressive in places.

Viren (Abhay Deol) and Aditi (Ayesha Takia) are the typical made for each other couple. Everything matches perfectly, except for one flaw. Viren is in love with someone else. How sad! But he is not out to con or lie to Aditi. He reveals this to her at the first meeting that he is seeing Karen (Apoorva Jha). Aditi and Viren reach an agreement that Viren would refuse the marriage proposal with Aditi.
