Very well executed

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Socha Na Tha is a debut of Abhay Deol and Imtiaz Ali which says a lot The film may have not worked but yet it's a decent watch The problems Viren faces are well handled, the film makes you laugh too especially in first half, the escapades and the problems in relationship are well handled. The second half gets a bit slow paced and does get predictable yet the film has it's moments Direction by Imtiaz Ali is amazing Music is decent the songs are tunefulAbhay Deol resembled Bobby Deol(early days) in this film but acts superbly, Ayesha Takia is good too, Apoorva Jha is wooden, Suresh Oberoi, Ayesha Jhulka are lovable Rati Agnihotri is good, Manish Chaudhary is good rest are okay

This is one of those movies which I never get tired of watching over and over again. I fell in love with the characters of the movie and the story just like that. Viren(the lead character) is someone, a typical guy can relate himself to. Ayesha looks as lovely as she could be. Abhay Deol shows a lot of promise in this debut movie with his natural acting and comic sense. The director Imtiyaz Ali has done a great job. The songs goes well with the situation. Easily, this movie will have you satisfied with entertainment and a few good laughs. If you love romantic movies with unusual twists and fun, this is definitely a movie to watch. Worth your time. 10/10.

The movie is a slow paced, character development based romance/family genre. There are some flaws but direction is well done. Ayesha Takia's character was a little inconsistent. In the beginning she is shown as a decent sober Desi girl who goes bowling in Shalwar Kameez, wears a sober bathing suit and then suddenly shown as a girl who lies to her guardians and shares a room with a guy. That made her character seem fictional so it took a little fun out of the story, but one thing that Ayesha has is her charm. Not a tremendous actor, but her acting has some reality to it (unfortunately, her character does not.) Besides that, I did not find any serious flaws. Ayesha's character was very straightforward and in a scene when she tells Abhay Deol that his girl friend won't like him hanging out with her, the speech was very realistic. It was direct and something a person actually would say.When Ayesha is caught lying, her family asks her quickly what the deal was; very rational, unlike Hindi movies where the suspense gets dragged on. Abhay's character made complete sense too.Usually, when a movie has too many real touches, it gets boring. Surprisingly, that wasn't entirely the case, not only because there were some flaws that brought excitement, but also because the character development was rather fast in the movie.If you don't like drama and character based movies and don't care about direction, then this one is not for you.

Most of the story writers and directors in Bollywood has either never fallen in love or has not the least idea what love is and how love 'happens'! This movie is sweet break from the usual Indian love cliché. the characters, Viren and Aditi had no idea when and how it happened to them. They fall in love and never realized it! Ayesha Takia has given an wonderful performance very subtle yet powerful. The twisting of the pencil, the sweet realization of being in love, looking worried when Viren after the confession climbs down the balcony and for a moment is not seen and the relief when he waves to her are some of the little details enacted so perfectly.There is no melodrama, no usual flowery language that haunts Hindi movies.Ayesha Takaia should not waste herself in insipid movies,and be selective for roles like this where she can justify her capability.And as for the director, we would like to see more of his work !
