The Age of Commercialism

One of my all time favorites.

hyped garbage

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

what an horror,what a waste of money. total indictment to viewing sense of Indian community. how could they even release this movie. no more comment m having headache thinking about the movie.at least the songs were a lifesaver in this piece of crap.if u just look at the other works of danish aslam he was the Second Unit Director for swadesh,now that was a brilliant movie. looks like he never learnt anything from Ashutosh Gowarikar. say about bunking the class.on a second note the script...no enough these are the times...i realize...i...hate ....myself..thats two hours of my life gone down the drain.god save ........ bollywood

i for one enjoyed the movie, i don't know why yooou guys are giving it such bad reviews. i watched the movie with a clear mind. i don't think there is any movie in bollywood that hasn't been done before. Most bollywood storyline all fall in the same categories which is why it is important for the actors to try to deliver a great performance so they can stand out. i applaud deepika for her role in this movie and i encourage imran to try to get out of his comfort zone and explore different horizons. i could relate to break ke baad because i was once in that situation and i understood deepikas character wanting to take a break because being in a long term relationship could be suffocating. overall, i like the movie, hope to see more from the pair because they have great screen chemistry and a bright future ahead of them. TO IMRAN and DEEPIKA!!!!

With a rather simple plot, Break Ke Baad explores and examines the relationship between the lead pair Imran and Deepika. This fun, fresh, and light-hearted romcom contains some really nice themes and messages that are badly needed for today's times. In an age where break-ups are too common and used as an escape from life's troubles, a quick fix to a relationship going through a rough phase, or a convenient denial of one's own weaknesses, we end up losing and hurting our loved ones and well-wishers. It takes courage, patience, acceptance, and resilience to keep two people together. While we may not realize it in the pursuit of freedom and independence, it's these relationships that brings us the most contentment. The film doesn't downplay or discourage ambition; on the contrary, it does show it as necessary to developing oneself. However, one's means of achieving his/her goals should not be done through rebellious means or by despisement of others' attitudes, but rather by cooperating and understanding those who are closest to you. The film has a great starcast and direction as well as nice music.

The problem with this movie is the same which has been plaguing the so called romantic comedies in Bollywood recently- that it tries too hard to look fresh and cool and to the tune of the times.It necessarily is just about two people who are in a long relationship since childhood with just marriage left on the cards when suddenly the female realizes she wants her space. Fair enough.But the guy doesn't want to leave her for anything in the world.As per the movie modern males are insecure, too sweet, too nagging,have no real goals or ambitions and find cooking better suited than most other jobs in the world! not really.Then there is the alpha female who wants her space, ambitious, risk taking, smokes in front of all elders in a wedding, basically wants to do whatever she fees like at any cost.Hmmm again little far fetched. Probably we would have more connected with the characters if the débutant director would have spent little more time in the character building than the unconvincing fights, quarrels and the break up which basically doesn't happen in the movie! in spite of repeated attempts by the characters.The plot is thin, the climax is as predictable as it can get and though timed at a little under 2 hrs the movie gets so repetitive in the middle that when a character shouts Khatam kar dalo isko, about an hour into the movie we echo the same feelings.Having said that, all is not bad. The biggest pus point of the movie is the music very hummable by Vishal Shekar,the witty dialogues which are the only cool things and the acting by the 2 leads Imran and Deepika who try to infuse some life into otherwise illogical characters.Break ke baad doesn't really engage the viewer from the beginning to the end.If you want to see a modern bitter sweet break up story we still recommend Imtiaz Ali's Love aaj kal.
