could have been better

i thought that the movie was just about okay. i liked it in places. like the scene towards the end with rehan and koel and her thoughts is good. the story and concept were all very good as well as the setting..loved that salon...but i thought it wasn't implemented properly...it seemed to lack something all through and some things were entirely unnecessary....and some charecters overdrawn...like rahul bose as rage. the message just didn't come across very well...it confused and though the title was good i didnt get his message very clearly. what was it? basically a good concept that needed lots of improvement and editing.
