this was my second zoya akhtar movie, and i gotta give it to her: she knows how to write her characters. they're so real and nuanced, and their conflicts are always rooted from actual life experiences. women directors know their shit. while Dil Dhadakne Do is still my favorite one by her, i feel like for its time, this movie must've been a hell of a release. i doubt any bollywood movie at the time had ever explored such human depth and friendship. but nonetheless, this movie was good, and its themes and messages are spectacular too. hritik and katrina's chemistry was great—hope to see more of them.
