In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The story line is quite straightforward as the title suggests. Boy meets girl in 3 different cities & falls in love with her. But the way it has been done is really enjoyable. They spend a night in each of the 3 cities at different phases of their life and makes them realize their love for each other. Some of the dialogues are R-rated but other than that it is a very watchable movie. There aren't many songs which is a good thing.Ali Zafar is turning out to be a really good actor and Aditi Rao is perfect for this role. Both Ali Zafar & Adi Rao have done a fantastic job of looking the part over the period of time. Dalip Tahil has a nice cameo at the end.

i Love Ali, he,s and awesome man .love his work at bo bOLLYWOOD hope he gets more fame and more popular in the whole world. i know him when he was in arts collage Lahore his drama daubed his modeling i loved all and i wish him a more bright future i love u we all love u give us more fantastic movies and i love your pictures with Katrina a nice couple i will love to see a new movie of you two as leading actors :). he is a very mature guy and WE ALL KNOW HE IS a handsome man he should get more offers of big movies and with talented co stars,as i have said he looks fabulous with Katrina he and Katrina should be seen in such a a super hit movie story .he has not been opened to show all his talent in few movies those are been released on big screen .one of my another suggestion is that an actor and model named Imran Abba's Naqvi is also a nice actor them both should be selected in a movie and love to see him and Rambir Kapoor in a movie as well so nice to see him always :D

The movie starts out on a simple note and starts to gain momentum. The script for some reason is purely brilliant even though the movie has been inspired from two Hollywood flicks 'Before Sunrise' and 'Before Sunset'. Ali Zafar manages to pull off his role rather well and brings a substantial amount of depth to his character while Aditi Rao is deep and profound. Her character goes through various phases and she pulls them through with sheer brilliance. The movie gets sort of irritating post the interval but the irritation is short lived. Good songs and cinematography add to the overall experience. Believe me it's worth a watch if you want to watch a purely romantic love story. But only if you haven't watched Before Sunrise and Before Sunset.

After hearing the constant hype about the similarities between when Harry Met Sally, and Hum Tum, I was almost going to overlook this movie, however I am glad I didn't. This movie clearly outshines many other bollywood rom-coms (and undoubtedly hum-tum) I have seen.The story is of two strangers, who develop an instant connection and relate to each other initially on the common grounds of their new found independence from their parents (his parents are overly protective of him, she has lived her life only living up to her parents' expectations). They are clearly attracted to each other within moments of their first meeting, however the pragmatic Lalita feels they shouldn't pursue anything as she doesn't think long distance relationships work well. Their chemistry, and interactions are explored again when they reconnect in Paris and New York years later.Kudos to first time director Anu Menon, for capturing the angst of the Lalita and Nikhil so well. Noteworthy mentions especially go to the very intense scenes of Paris, from the moment when they first reconnect to when they part again. You see Lalita detest the very sight of Nikhil at first, eventually letting her guard down again as they spend the day together, and even lending him support when she sees that he is vulnerable and feeling dismayed from his experience in film school, only to shut him out again after watching his movie that has brought back some unpleasant memories and feelings in her that made her detest him before. The angst of this woman who suddenly goes from feeling the highs of being madly in love to the bitter and vengeful side of the woman when she feels dejected and heart broken is very well relayed. Equally note worthy is also the New York Scene, where Nikhil goes on to express his angst, relaying how despite his many attempts, he never got a fair shot from her, feeling cheated by the fact that despite them forming an amazing connection and reconnecting so well every time and the fact that her actions gave him the impression that they have a shot back together, she has no intention of carrying through with it. His crackling voice in his rant again displays his moment of vulnerability and his heart break. We see Nikhil transition from a playful, bindaass, goofy guy, who has had it easy all his life to a persevering romantic and we see Lalita transition from the hopeful who believes she can change the world, the pragmatic girl who avoids indulging in moments to a girl who learns to shed her inhibitions and go with the flow.I don't know if the movie could have worked without the lead pair of Ali and Aditi - they have done an outstanding job and breath life into Nikhil and Lalita. Not only are they a fresh pairing, their chemistry is amazing and you walk out of the movie thinking about Nikhil and Lalita rather than Ali and Aditi. Their delivery is great, no overly drawn melodrama or "rona dhona". Despite there being less than five minutes screen time of the supporting cast collectively in the whole movie, the two have managed to carry the the entire movie by them selves very well - they captivate your attention from the beginning to your end, without any dull moments in between. Ali is very expressive with his eyes (e.g. watch his eyes expression when he sings "philosophy ka craze hai", or his eyes burdened with remorse in Paris when they are eating breakfast on the balcony). The story and screenplay feels believable, real and does not try to be pretentious - and both Ali and Aditi do justice to their parts. The dialog works for this movie, has many witty and funny lines (e.g. Lalitapedia), and again feels very believable and real. My only complaint was Lalita's constant use of "shit" and "shut up"- it seemed a little annoying after a while. The music is fresh, very catchy and goes with the flow of the movie - it does a great job of carrying the story forward and does not feel out of place.Overall this is a very enjoyable romantic movie, especially when compare it with recent youth oriented type film such as Ek Main aur Ekk Tu that had mostly caricatured characters.
