ah yes, i finally watched the indian cult classic after a decade with fresher and more mature eyes. i watched this 10 days ago but i didn't review it so let me remember whatever i can. first of all, this movie probably did some shi back in the day but looking at it now it's a bit overrated imo. jordan's character was bipolar asf he's basically every indian boy irl represented in cinema. nargis fakhri's character has some personality and agency to her in the beginning of the movie until she was delegated to the role of "sidepiece damsel in distress docile lover of the main character" as the movie went on and it pissed me off. the plot itself felt wonky asf and while ranbir kapoor manages a good performance, i failed to understand what the resolution of his character was. it was a very masculine coded movie and maybe other people (xy chromosomes) resonated more w this movie but i definitely did not. the only reason i watched it was because i was making my preference list for delhi university and this movie used hindu college and st. stephen's as sets. it was so long and at times i had to speed up the movie coz i could not wait for it to be over. the editing in the movie was also jarring at times. so yes, overrated. would not recommend.
