ANJAANA ANJAANI – Review

Critic’s Rating: 3.0/5

Story: Akash (Ranbir Kapoor) and Kiara (Priyanka Chopra) meet on a bridge in Manhattan under unfavourable circumstances. They both are trying to throw themselves down in a suicidal bid, being unable to cope with the hurdles of life any longer. But jump, they can’t, and end up together in a pact which sees them spending twenty days together before they take the final plunge. So what happens in those twenty days? A road trip to Vegas, followed by loads of wish fulfilment…. More importantly, are they able to carry off the suicide pact? Keep guessing.

Movie Review: They meet as strangers in the night…. The possibilities are immense. Is director Siddharth Anand able to leverage this great opportunity and tell an engaging story about two people who find life and love on the threshold of death? Errr, umm, well, he does, but partially so. So where’s the problem yaar? It’s in the script and the narrative. The director chooses to use the format of a road movie to weave his romantic story. Only, the road seems to be a bit long and too straight. Don’t go looking for something new. And you will enjoy it. Well if you’re bored and looking for something, then you could give it a watch.
