2 pegs that people love about Bhandarkar Movies…

-                 - Realistic content. The way that he shows some hidden insights of the industry he covers.

-                 - Character development. How a person and his responses change with the situation.

This movie does justice to the first but fails in the second.

Story shoots directly from the point where an actress Mahi Arora, has made herself a big space In Indian Film Industry and is content with her success. On the contrast, her personal life is unbalanced where she has fallen for Aryan Khanna, a married superstar who himself is unsure of this relationship and ends up leaving her. This leads to breaking her insides and in search of her confidence, Mahi ends up committing one mistake after another. Story pretty much spins around this situation.

Bhandarkar’s direction has nothing revolutionary and also the acting has been very average. Some of the characters weren’t fermented well, leading to negligible impacts on the story. Also, the problem with the script is that audience knows a lot about celebrity lives already and hence, nothing to look up to in this movie.Over dramatic setup with extreme emotions seems kinda stupud at times.

My Rating – 2.25/5, the concept was itself weak to start with.
