I could not finish this movie. I found most things about it incredulous, but most of all I found it morally repugnant.
The female characters are physically disrespected and abused. In fact, the disrespect and abuse (stalking, holding them tightly against their will or pinning them, slapping and hitting) is shown to have positive effect as the women stick around to be abused instead of breaking away. I didn't appreciate this kind of depiction in Dil Se, and I did not appreciate it here.
India is becoming notorious for gang rapes and this is not the kind of material that should be celebrated or even accepted.
Suicide is also handled very trivially, and its use is again connected to a rape culture. 'If you do not sleep with me, I'll kill myself.' Unacceptable. People slitting their wrists at the most trivial let downs....Now I have a great suspension of disbelief, but I this was just ridiculous. Not escapist or cathartic. Just infuriating and often disgusting.
The music was good, but I hated everything else.
