Interesting that Kalki Koechlin has French parents as this films oozes the same kind of sensibility and style as a great French film, whilst at the same time being totally rooted in India.

Lots of great visuals to act as cinematic eye candy and a story that weaves its way from childhood to full adult maturity with lots of stops along the way.

Abhay Deol plays the part of Dev perfectly with sufficient pathos and gravitas to make the character much more than a typical Bollywood protagonist. Many of Bollywood's leading men struggle to play a broken character, as most are used to playing guys an an upward trajectory, but Abhay does it in perfect measure.

Both Kalki Koechlin and Mahie Gill are very pleasing on the eye, and yet both as so very different both in terms of how they look and what they bring to their respective parts. Top marks to the casting department for choosing such a wonderful pair of actresses to play off Abhay Deol dysfunctional lead.

It would have been easy for this to have been a pretty run of the mill romantic comedy crossed with a coming of age movie, but it is so much more and deserves to be rated highly as a movie that isn't your typical Bollywood production line creation. It is so much more.
