Above-average Bollywood romantic, musical-comedy that deals with such political issues as a growing Indian middle-class created from a peasantry who no longer find working on farms all that interesting, but who are not necessarily academically-inclined. Additionally, this movie deals with overly-planned careers that leave no time for a spontaneous social life, along with an implicit critique of Indian arranged marriages as opposed to marrying for love.
Anushka SHARMA is superb as the career girl who thinks she can avoid emotional complications in her life by simply plowing all her energies into her startup business and letting her parents choose her bride-groom when she is 25. She needs to be good because her co-star plays someone who is uneducated, unsophisticated and immature, and is played by an actor perfectly typecast for the role! SHARMA has to carry the emotional weight of all their scenes together, which she does with great aplomb and distinction, while making the very best of a weakly-characterized and perfunctorily-plotted screenplay.
