I notice that a couple of reviewers mentioned that this film promotes Indian stereotypes. If they mean the interference of Indian mothers in their children's love lives...probably true. Just like I have seen in quite a few Indian movies that I have watched. So that cultural stereotype is a rather traditional Indian story line.
There aren't any surprises in this story. Of course, there aren't many surprises in most movies. We usually know how they'll turn out. The delight (at least sometimes) is finding out how they get there. And in that realm, this is a pretty pleasant romantic story. What's appealing here are most of the main characters. Suraj Sharma seems like a heck of a nice guy...including in this film. I have enjoyed him in everything he's done since he burst on the scene in "The Life Of Pi". The female lead here -- Pallavi Sharda -- seems like a bright, intelligent actress. Of the mothers and fathers, Rizwan Manji stands out, but they all do their jobs.
I'm seeing that some people are calling this a rom-com. I don't agree. It's generally fun and pleasant, but while there are some humorous elements, I don't see it as a comedy. A romantic story with some ups and downs. Humor here and there. If you're looking for an actual comedy...I wouldn't go here. There's as much drama as comedy. Let's say that the story is told in a upbeat, pleasant manner.
