    Waste of time

    I watched the TV serial version of this and I have to admit that was better than this movie.the story of this movie is actually suited for a TV show.And more than that this film looks boring because of its camera-view.there was lots of buzz about the camera work but it was simply awful.its not a very commercial type movie.Maybe class audiences like this.acting was average but the camera work and flow of story makes it very very dull.music is bad as well.overall,awful.you will have to give an afford not to fall asleep during watching this.Not worth watching.But again if you are a fan of rgv you may just want to watch it.

    HAMMERS on the head...

    NOT A LOVE STORY...should have been titled NOT A STORY....one of the worst movie i have ever seen....worst story...worst direction..even worst CINEMATOGRAPHY-only can see legs and face close ups of the people in whole film....movie feels to be shoot-ed with the crappy mobile camera.....RAM GOPAL VERMA should now seriously think about his retirement or stop making this type of non-sense movies...the effect of the movie- you will start praying to god in cinema to complete the movie as soon as possible and help you get out of the cinema soon....you can somehow bare the movie till first half..but then after the half...its just out of control...GOD SAVE EVERYONE from this kind of movies...

    a miscasting job doomed this film from the very beginning

    well, if you want a lame screenplay with a formulaic scenario and storyline to become at least has the potential to get some box office gross, the first thing you producers or director got to do is finding a marketable female actress to be such main character. but the basic requirement seemed to become a lost cause from the very beginning. this female cast was a big mistake. a woman already past her prime, looked so unattractive with her ordinary features, a lightly hooked nose, meaty and fleshy face and body, there were no ingredients that could ever make her realize the dream of becoming a bollywood star but a bimbo or even a playmate-like whore, by sleeping and selling her body and soul to any potential dream maker she could find, just as what the movie itself predictably rendered in the end. such lame and overly used scenario/plot/storyline have already been used elsewhere thousand times. if the main character, the heroine, is an eye candy, then it still got the chance of being barely watchable, but....

    Great potential squandered

    This movie had an intriguing real story as a reference point and a potential to really turn a cracker of a movie out of it dwelling into the different personalities and their motives around the event. Unfortunately, Ramgopal Verma prefers to focus more on Mahi's assets and his creepy perverted camera angles focusing on Mahi's body takes away from the whole story.

    Into the second half, about 10 minutes of Zakir's early investigation makes you hope that the second half would be better. But by then the movie has dug itself into a big hole and is not able to get out.

    Do yourself a favor. Read Meena Baghel's take on the event in her book instead.

    A must watch movie...

    Today i went to see Not a Love Story. Watching the trailers was quiet overwhelming for me. So couldn't miss it. Entered the movie theater with quiet high expectations for this RGV film. He was the one who i looked forward to but he seemed to have lost his touch a little. But this time he comes out with a bang. The first sequence of the movie gets you in the groove. Then you start expecting. Which he delivered. The cast i am speechless by the performance of Mahie Gill and Deepak Dobriyal. Hats off to you both, especially Mahie Gill. She stood out as once Urmila used to. She was the one only who could do justice to the role. The first half you just can't take your eyes off. The plot and the performance and the camera was awesome, and was beautifully done. The second half gets a bit slow which i think was a bit of stretching but hey then also you just stay glued to the seat. The music drives you crazy.The ending was very unexpected but quiet good. Last but not the least direction!!! Hats off to your RGV. You are back. Guys go and watch it on the big screen, i bet it would be worth the money.
