I agree with you up to a point. I've always enjoyed his films. Except the last one, where he basically had semi nude young boys parading around throughout the whole film - considering that Karan is gay himself, along with the girls. I just thought it was a very immature college flick. Was bored immensely.
This film was a genius from every aspect. The film was a study of unrequited love and the things people do in the purusit of that said love being fulfilled. Sometimes, you just don't get a happy ending.
The acting was top-notch. Ranbir is a capable actor. Not the best...but passable. Anushka & Aishwarya were both perfect. SRK was a great surprise. The music was on point. The songs. Great ending.
I find it sad that the rating on this film is so low because of political pressures. I'm glad I live in an area of the world, where I can appreciate good filmmaking without the conflicts those two countries have for one another. Had this film come out months before, there would have been a different reaction to this film.
This, in my opinion, is Karan's best film ever. Intelligent. Mature. Hopefully he'll continue down this road. This would have made Yash Chopra-ji very proud.
