A divorced poetess, a heart broken girl looking for friendship but not love and a Casanova who has failed in love, come together to dance to the memoirs of Karan Johar. It's a porridge of old Hindi songs enjoyed by youth supposedly and vintage shayaris that end up confusing the normal.
I'm neither faulting the shayaris nor the songs, hope one gets the essence. That is - Love is a poisoned chalice, while one is drunk with friendship, people can have either and not both.
Ash the drunk poetess, Anushka the Confucius, Ranbir the confused . The most befitting summary of this movie can be extracted from the breakup song - it's music in our heads which outsiders are supposed to interpret as chaos :)
Anushka has done justice to her role, Ranbir is the most befitting cast for this script and Aishwarya wants to reintroduce herself with the swerve of a seductress .
The first half is fun and frolic. A one month Fling, heartwarming love / friendship, marriage of the loved, heart wrenching failure of the lover.
Second half continues to enthral you with The poetess(Ash) being seduced by a failed Casanova(Ranbir), they hang out and within one another, the poetess falls in love, while Ranbir the lover finds solace in coitus (profanity intended) in order to distract himself from his heart. One fine day the married Confucius (Anushka) returns to see her so called friend ( Ranbir ) spoiled in the home comforts of a seductive poetess. The latter realises she can never be loved by Casanova. She breaks up with him, while he rekindles his love and reminds Confucius of the same.
In the meanwhile, as a prelude Ranbir likes to sing , as an interlude he sings quite well as he has sorrow in his heart and voice that can convey his love, it seems. He becomes a singer.
One fine day Karan saw the first cut of this movie and couldn't cry enough so he had to script cancer onto it. Just so that he could eek out those droplets of sadness from your eye sockets.
Thus the Climax nears, supposed to be followed by Mohabbataen tears, as death by cancer nears :) Who dies ? Please watch as I can't be more sarcastic as I'm feeling sleepy.
I have used the word Confucius because - he was known as a philosopher with strong morals like the highly moral and principled Anushka's Character , who perfectly knows the difference between friendship and love that only the scriptures authored by Karan Johar could have told :)
