This is the first movie in Bollywood based on the event of a destination marriage. It is a very expensive film as it articulate  with the situation of Glitz and glamour. With a beautiful cinematography the film stands high and it is a banquet  to the eyes and mind. Shahid Kapoor with his extremely endearing performance showed that any character is viable to him and he has grown too much as an actor after Haider. On the other hand regarding Ali Bhatt, she is amazing and her charming and steller looks steal the show with Shahid. Their chemisrty is fantastic and pleasant. Anyway, this youth oriented film actually conquered their hearts and running to a super hit by breaking the records of many films. The film critics reviewed the film negatively and accoding to them Shahid was the prey of a bad script, other wise it would have been a more interesting story with a golden history. The Indian Express commented on Shahid’s character as “badly written”. Nothing, ‘He can be such a natural charmer, but here the charm offensive is not allowed to stop, and finally just overtakes him”. But a must watchable film of this year.
