A Still from Socha Na Tha |
This creates a rift between the two families and a verbal war follows. But for some strange reason, Viren continues to meet Aditi. Meanwhile, Viren continues to court Karen and proposes marriage to her. She agrees. He meets her parents and they too agree. But Viren's parents disapprove of the match. Obviously because of the caste differences. Karen is a Catholic girl. In the course of their various meetings, Aditi and Viren realize that they like meeting each other as they can just be themselves when they are together.
What follows is something that has happened in real life stories also. Suddenly one day Viren is hit by the realization that he has fallen in love with Aditi. Is the present day youth so fickle-minded, it makes us wonder. To make matters worse, Viren's family agrees to accept Karen as their daughter-in-law. Now Viren is in real trouble. He wants to marry Aditi, not Karen. We don’t have to tell you what happens in the end. But somewhere at this point, the film loses its sheen and becomes too predictable. It’s a case of ‘all’s well that ends well!’. There are lots of sweet moments between Viren and Aditi. But why do they curb their feelings for each other when they realize that they are in love. The climax makes no impact. Debutant director Imtiaz Ali keeps the viewer's interested in bits and parts but is still not up to the mark. |
