I still didn't understand the purpose of making this film.
The only thing i liked about this film was that it didn't give me a headache.
The movie was a simple breeze of fresh air and story moved forward with snail pace.
Shahrukh did what he does best, played himself.
Alia again was a surprise. Is there anything that Alia Bhatt can't do.
If nepotism looks like this, then I want more nepotism from industry.
sorry, Just kidding. Like industry already isn't closed for outsiders.
Anyways, the film is all about Alia trying to find that why is she is so mean yet sweet to everybody.
Her conflicting nature is something that people don't understand and she herself doesn't understand.
Comes Mr. Khan whose own life is in shambles but wouldn't mind giving therapy to Alia in highly unconventional manner to earn some extra bucks.
His advises are good and then comes a very predictable plot twist. Alia falls in love with Khan. Duh, who didn't see that coming.
Anyways, the direction of Gauri Shinde is ok if not bad.
Screenplay needed more work and more events instead of just roaming around few locations.
Secondary cast needed to be better and I think they just casted them frivolously without bothering who was playing what.
I might have done the same knowing i have SRK and Alia in my film.
Cinematography by Laxman Utekar is good and editing could have been more crisp.
Production design in first half is not impressive but gets better in second half in real locations.
Over all a decent watch, but not something praiseworthy.
