I don't get the bad rating


It wasn't GREAT Movie but it wasn't that bad as it is made out to be.
Looks like some rival actor fans are hell bent on proving it bad.

In recent movies this is one of the most entertaining movie I have watched. Some scenes were unecessary and the ending was crap but overall the movie wasn't as bad.

Rival actors? Who is Ranveer Singh's competition? Vaani Kapoor is a fairly new actress. Aditya Chopra's other movies all have been highly rated. These aren't fake ratings, it seems like people genuinely didn't like this film.

I agree.

Why don't you visit my blog http://nairtejas.wordpress.com? Thank you!

Thanks for agreeing Tejas. But I don't agree with your review title! Towerian is not a word! Just joking but seriously it's not a word :)

Judging by the user reviews, a whole lot of viewers couldn't look past a bit of skin to see a pretty decent, pretty weird romantic comedy.
Relax. It's just sex.

Anyway, I personally only had a problem with the guy's generally unfunny dorkish behaviour.
If you can't be funny, better to play it straight.
It did get more bearable in the second half though.

I wouldn't even have taken payment for writing a good review for THIS movie.
Basically, this premise has been done over and over and over. That's one reason for people disliking it. They know the reality of life and this unrealistic plot doesn't attract the audience anymore.
Second, zero chemistry. Just physical grinding and that's all. As it has a probable PG-rating and this is India, SEX is taboo. If they would have shown full-blown sex I'd have been heartily interested. But there is that half-arsed kissing and cut to the sky or ceiling shots when the sex begins. I mean, dikhana hai toh theek se dikhao R-rating k saath.
Third, WAY OVER THE TOP ACTING by Ranveer Singh, and I know Ranveer can act. I've seen it in Lootera. Seeing him do this is just such a waste of talent. On the flip side, Vaani looks like she is clearly bored with it.
All in all, nothing can stop something from being good, if it is really good. No paid bad reviews or angry fan-boys can have such an effect. Clearly this has none of them going for it. Like you said that some scenes were unnecessary and the ending was crap then how can the overall movie be good?

sorry but it was worst B-wood movie that I have ever seen last years. I dont respect Aditya after he abandoned Shekhar Kapoor's 'Paani and did this crup.

It's very simple. When a film has a rating this low it's because it's been spiked. Imdb.com is a Hollywood company. Any film they're worried about gets a negative spiking, in the same way that the new Star Wars films get very high ratings before they've even been released.

The reality is that most bad films here average around 5/10 or 6/10. To have enough people rating low enough to get a 3.5/10 is just ludicrous.

I am watching it now, I agree, the premise of Indian young people in Paris is interesting, but the plot is a snoozer. I would rate it a 5.
