Abhi would have been a great guest star. Love your question about what happens to Farhan and Priyanka after the end of the film. I'm trying to remember if he had said something about writing a book and thus maybe staying put for awhile? I would definitely watch the sequel to this. :) Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-56454224973603008052015-08-24T15:06:58.931-05:002015-08-24T15:06:58.931-05:00Yayy to that club. I thought Farhan was fine here ...Yayy to that club. I thought Farhan was fine here as it was such a short role but again, it could have been better with a different actor, not sure who, maybe Abhishek (yeah, I know Farhan is way more talented, but Abhishek does the guest appearances real well :) unlike his actual acting roles). <br /><br />Ranveer is probably one of the very few heroes who brings in a very "physical" impact, somewhat like what Akshay used to do in movies like Khiladi, Saugandh or any of the 80-90s movies before he went into all out comedy roles and became a "family man". <br /><br />Yes, would love to know what happens to Shefali's character post their cruise adventure.<br />And how do Priyanka and Farhan get together - he being the traveling journalist reporting from all locations and she being the businesswoman, both of whom need to be at a certain location and who, seemingly, respect each other's professions.<br /><br />Aparnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465535925292456208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-16487952337542250892015-08-24T11:57:21.405-05:002015-08-24T11:57:21.405-05:00Hi Aparna!

I mean...he's fine as an actor, whatever, but I don't think he adds anything in particular that other actors cannot also do just as well. You make a good point about SHefali's character giving up. It's easy to imagine that she feel pretty ground down by her husband and his effects on their children. And I really want to know what happens to her after this film! Does she find herself some better friends and better ways to spend her time?<br /><br />I think I've seen all of Ranveer's movies except for Gunday, on which I bailed after 45 minutes because it is so terrible. I find him very charismatic and interesting to watch.Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-70566621591744819802015-08-17T16:48:03.895-05:002015-08-17T16:48:03.895-05:00I read this late, but oh, your take so much matche...I read this late, but oh, your take so much matches mine. You are one of the very few (maybe the only one besides me in real life, not critics) who found Priyanka Chopra's role good and well-acted, Ranveer being the reason for sitting through at a lot of scenes and you do not hero-worship Farhan Akhtar. Thanks, I was starting to doubt myself.<br /><br />I thought Shefali Chhaya's role had more layers than others - she, as you mentioned, is an ally to her husband's manipulative moves, tries to get back at him by fighting for things she really does not care much about (dinner table argument about selling the plane, etc) and had me seriously thinking whether she actually cares for her children or has she given up because she is too bitter.<br /><br />I loved the one-take song, and oh, did i mention - Ranveer. This is the only other movie I liked him in after Band Baaja Baarat. (Actually, i probably have deliberately avoided his other movies)Aparnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465535925292456208noreply@blogger.com
