Hamari Adhuri Kahani (2015)

It was really romantic. Usually not my type and still isn't, but it was still amazing!

From the ancient time period, our society has been male dominated where a wife is considered not more than a private property of his husband. Still the values haven't changed much and women are still tormented, beaten by their husbands. Such stories patronizing womanhood have been common in '80s social dramas. Story-wise the film looks a bit dated, but a tight script, nice dialogues, and a good performance from Vidya Valan makes "Hamari Adhuri Kahani" gripping. In other words, the film gets a modern treatment to an old story through beautiful sets and nice visuals. Emraan Hashmi as a business tycoon was a miscast whereas Rajkumar Rao attracts through his presence. A weakness persisting in the story was the inadequate elaboration of the dominance of the husband and retaliation of the wife , which was the main theme of the film. Instead, the romance between Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Valan gets most of the footage. However, few melodramatic sequences and a tragic end of the film do touch you at times for which the film is likable.Rating: 2 stars out of 4

A very touching love story.. An unconditional love beyond the institution of marriage and society.. Watch this movie for beautiful story , great performance by the protagonists. I never liked Imran Hashmi till I watched this movie. I think he did a fabulous job and he looks cool in those business suits.. As usual Vidya Balan gives stunning performance as Vasudha.. She can get into any character very easily..she looks beautiful in the sarees. At some point you will predict the story, even then you will enjoy watching the movie for its simplicity in depicting this sensitive story. Kudos to the music director jeet ganguly for melodious songs which go very well with the movie..somehow all Imran hashmi movies end up getting awesome sound tracks. Hmmm.. The title song steals your heart.. Arijit Singh's magical voice makes u want to hear that song again and again. Good direction and all in all a nice movie.. Would recommend to all who like emotional and romantic movies.

What's better than watching a classy movie on a weekend in your bed alone. Its a movie that one can say is composed of the very true and pure emotions, that depict the reality of life.Best Lines:i) "Nothing in this world is perfect without imperfections" P.S God has made everything on purpose. ii) "You can't love until you stop being selfish, Love is about giving away its not an ordinary trade" iii) "Love is a responsibility not everyone can take it".Best Scene: Imran Hashmi giving his life in lily garden.I gave 10 to this movie it impressed me on every ground that's the reason why I haven't left watching Bollywood movies because they occasionally produce a real master piece and its one of themHAMARI ADHURI KAHANI (Y)
