Story:  A whacky tale of love, the story is about three men- Naren Ahuja (ajay) in his thirties who is going through a divorce with his wife (rituparna) and he chances upon the bubbly girl June Pinto (shahzahn) who has just passed her teens, it is love for Naren. Then, there is Milind Kelkar (omi) who is an idealist lover and he comes across a rather aggressive and career oriented Gungun Sarkar (shraddha das). Last but not the least, there is the Casanova Abhay (emraan) who is finally getting smitten by the charms of Nikki (shruti) and deems it to be love. What happens to their stories forms the essence. Presentation:The director has come up with an interesting storyline and while the presentation was great, the narrative was glitchy at few places. The dialogues were entertaining, the script was well written and the screenplay was apt. Background score was effective and songs were enoyable. Cinematography is the highlight of the film. Editing was good but it could have been sharp at the required places. Costumes were trendy while the art department was appealing. Ajay Devgn was at his best again and he gave a delectable performance. Omi Vaidya was hilarious while Emraan made his presence felt strongly and fits the role perfectly. Shahzahn looks cute as usual and adds freshness, Shraddha was competent and gave an impressive performance, she has potential, Shruti Haasan was sensuous and pretty. Tisca was excellent, Rituparna looks ravishing, Mukesh Tiwari was moderate, Aditya was alright. The others did their bit as required. Conclusion: The concept of the film is more about men and their natures but then the focus is more on the relationships and their stand towards it. While the first half goes in a very light hearted manner providing the required entertainment, it is the second half which is quite criss cross and has its twists and turns. Overall, this is a film which is different and if few scenes were trimmed and some points sharpened, it will be a sure shot success. For now, it is very high on the profit zone. my verdict: Variety treat, watch it!!
