A spoof of the mega blockbuster DDLJ, you might have seen stories equivalent to this countless times in flicks like Maine pyar kiya, Pyar kiya to darna kya or Bommarillu, but the best part here is the unique screenplay, the director sets a completely different take everytime the scenes gets into that 'oh! we ve seen that before' zone.
Remember the scene from DDLJ, when Simran wakes up in Raj's bed & asks him what had happened between them the previous night? here, when Humpty does a similar rip off of Raj, Kavya cuts him short saying 'maine daaru pee thi raat ko, mujhe sab pata hai, mera memory loss nahi huwa thha!', hence, u start enjoying the film as the story unfolds, though it drags a lot in the second half. Unlike the two dumb friends Shahrukh had to tag along in DDLJ (one of them being the producer Karan Johar himself!), Humpty's buddies (Poplu & Shonty) are a delight to watch! Also, after a long time, bollywood comes up with a strict but sensible father (Ashutosh Rana) who doesn't comes across as way too disciplinarian! But the film primarily works because of the couple Alia-Varun, they just set the score right with their small town act and charming screen presence. What doesn't work however is, the same stale caricaturish depiction of gay cliches and Kavya's obsession with a Manish Malhotra designed pink sequined lehenga for her wedding which drives her to Delhi!! Tch Tch!!
