Just meaningless waves , without any depth

Its journey of 148 minutes (including 16 minutes of pre and post credits) which finally takes you nowhere , neither its realistic nor it's entertaining to disappoint me further its not even as dark as I thought it would be . If you can sail through the first ninety minutes which will surely test your patience and intelligence then you will be rewarded for the last 40 minutes but when it concludes it feels like the writer could not handle the force he had unleashed in third act and leaves the end very conveniently where it does . Movie does try to add something with very last scene but then its credit leaves you with a movie which you would forget sooner than the time you had spent anticipating watching it after coming across the trailer or promotions .In the first two acts of this movie most scene sequences are cut abruptly when it moves from one to another and it's noticeable . What seemed to be good cinematography from trailer isn't so in the movie , with mediocre scenes and the wave you see in trailer is the only wave you will see across the movie . Performance of Deepika Padukone is commendable but I feel it fails to be memorable given the weak and forgettable script . Naseeruddin Shah and Rajat Kapoor do their job with perfection in the limited time they are allotted and for other actors you can judge them with your perspective and taste as you go on a hectic journey but for me they were not that enchanting . Back stories and past of each character which seem much more interesting than what is going on in the present are never explored except small flashbacks and in dialogues.Only thing that would leave a long impact on you is the song Gehraiyaan by Lothika except that everything else is unnecessary noise which you won't regret even if you don't watch this movie .Special Mention : Movie explores the theme of infidelity ,depression and trauma but never gives real weight to either of these topics and lets it just flow like meaningless waves instead of depth.

Lukewarm

Adultery, thrill, crime, drama, love (meh?).....nothing seems enough to carry this modern day version of 'kbhi alvida na kehna' None of the scenes seem to capture the essence of emotions; the viewers find it difficult to connect/empathize with any of the characters. Definitely a strech in terms of the length. It's time Bollywood brought us better versions of urban modern love stories.
