An action-packed slog

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Its a movie that SHOULD make you feel the actors sadness. The pain of parting with a loved ones and other such emotions. But the movie simply DID NOT build up the characters as well as it should have. The relationship wasn't built up to the moment, but was rather backtracked from a negative point in the relationship. After watching him talk about all the bad parts of the relationship for 70 % of the movie, you lose all kinds of empathy towards the actors. If you want to spend time watching a heartfelt and sad movie/show that would literally move you to tears, go watch "your lie in april". THAT is how this movie should have been made, not the way it was.

Katti batti is the worst movie I have ever seen. The dialogs, the foolish jokes, the script just way too disappointing. Imran khan an actor having no expressions on his face being an "AaSHIQ", idiotic acting. The writer of the movie seems a drug addicted doesn't even know how to conclude the movie. The direction is worst piece as till the end of the movie I couldn't compute if it was a comedy or an intense love story. Just look at the songs, no lyrics just so nonsensical.... "Kissyaan" like what sort of song is this? What are you trying to convey to the young generation? HELL IDIOTIC, pathetic, ridiculous MOVIE>....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Katti Batti is a romantic comedy by Nikhil Advani. In the beginning, it appears that the film is an attempt to explore the sweet-sour, love-hate relationship of the lead protagonists, who are in a live- in set up. But, later on the film moves to different domain explaining the reasons behind the katti Batti of the lead protagonists. Katti Batti are the words used by kids. Katti is the word used when kids fight and they decide that they would never talk to each other. Batti is the word which is used when the fight is dissolved and the decision to not speak to each other is not valid anymore. Nikhil explores the katti Batti of the lead protagonists. The Katti predominates in their relationship or finally Batti happens, that is for you to explore and watch. The frames keep moving from present to flash back. If the first half projected the romance between Imran and Kangana followed by their frequent fights and their relationship falling apart, second half is about Imran's pursuit to fetch her back. The film begins with Payal (Kangana Ranaut) and Madhav aka Maddy's (Imran Khan) sharing some fun moments and capturing the same in camera viz. Quirky manner of getting married by taking the round of fire lit in the waste, using sauce instead of sindur etc. These scenes definitely set the tone of the movie to be a very lighter one, but they don't generate much laughter. Very soon, we see Maddy being rushed to the hospital, who has drunk phenol because Payal has left him. His sister Koyal comes to meet him in the hospital, and she along with his friend Vinay takes him to hometown to his father Suneel Sinha. Koyal, though younger to him is very protective of him and takes authoritative approach. Both Koyal and Vinay persuade Maddy to forget Payal and move on in life. On Maddy's return to office (he is an architect), he finds that the whole office is sympathetic towards him due to his suicide attempt, courtesy Vinay. The frames in between move to the flash back to explain how it was love at first sight for Maddy. He fell in love with spunky Payal, her independent nature, quirky ways. He persistently followed her and expressed to her that he loves her. Payal transparently conveyed that she is not keen for any committed relationship; it would be just a time pass for her. Maddy was so much in love with her that he even agreed to her this attitude. Five years of live-in relationship - all sorts of doing crazy stuff together, madness and togetherness. But then a series of fights begin. Although the fights are not shown very evidently, these run in the background. Certain events turn the course of the relationship and Payal just vanishes from Maddy's life, goes away. In spite of Koyal and Vinay constantly asking Maddy to move on in life, he is not able to get over Payal. Koyal keeps reminding Maddy that he is not the perfect guy for Payal, there is a huge class difference between the two, Payal belonging to upper class and he to the middle class. Maddy is not ready to forget Payal, since somewhere he believes that Payal still loves him. Without knowing the whereabouts of Payal, he frantically starts contacting their common friends to know where she could be. Is Maddy able to locate her? If yes, how? Is he able to win her back? Do they dissolve their fight and say Batti to each other? How does Ricky (Vivaan) play his role in the movie? Does Ricky's presence help Payal and Maddy to reunite?Imran gets majority of the screen time. Payal gets less screen time in comparison to Imran, and this definitely is not her 'queen' performance. Lot of characters are fillers. Boss of Maddy keeps calling him and his friend Vinay as his Rama and Lakshmana. But he is hardly able to generate laughter. Some other fillers are characters of Deepika (Maddy's colleague), friends Tina, Shweta etc. One more character that of a tortoise is there and how it becomes part of the film, watch it. I wish, Suneel as Maddy' s father, a great actor, had some substantial role to play. Shankar Ahsaan Loy' music is OK. The Sufi song sung by the FOSLA band (Frustrated One Sided Lovers Association) is good. Cinematography is good. I wish, the screenplay could have been a bit gripping with good sense of humour blended with emotions. All of you may not like the movie, since it is not very high on entertainment quotient. You may like the movie for its last 30 minutes, if you are an emotional person and enjoy watching display of emotions on screen. I also felt that Nikhil took a safe approach to end the movie to show what actually sells emotionally. Overall, the film is OK. Katti Batti, although with not so gripping screenplay, fares alright with the story blended with emotions especially towards the end of the film.

Evening show on the first day of release , I must have been pretty excited to watch this one . The movie doesn't disappoint as a whole package especially for the romantic breed. Few comic punches , a bit slow story (slightly predictable) line and good songs make it worth an evening . The great cinematography and awesome singing of Ritu pathak and Nikhil Dsouza in 'Lip to Lip' alone carries half the charm of the movie and certainly gives you a tune to hum around. Somewhat slow towards the end , the director somehow manages well to show the different aspects of a love life ,though picturized more on Imran Khan , left me wishing more screen space and time for Kangana who effortlessly grabbed the presence off Imran. Overall a decent movie.. Go Watch..
