Character constructed, deconstructed, resurrected with the absolute smoothness of a tequila shot. What you get is in my opinion the best performance I have seen in some time. Add to that the raspy, metal-on-wood voice, the casual sense of style, the few looks of soul-searching and the full blown expression of joy after Sky Diving. You just blew my expectation ceiling with an atomic bomb. These two scenes show us why she is different. She has one shriek in the whole movie and one funny sequence while singing "I'm a hot chick in a hard rock world". With a limited screen-time, she fares really well. And boy, how he uses the freedom! A treat to watch, his dialogue throwing style adds a very important spice to the movie. Where Farhan and Hrithik have characters with a certain premise, Abhay's Kabir(a) is a free-bird. But such is his expertise, he makes that guy stand out. Abhay is the usual casual fellow you could find strewn all over India. The use of sunglasses by Zoya is absolutely perfect. His journey across his life comes alive on screen through his facial expression. Hrithik is at his best, giving 100% to the role and carrying the transformations in his character so smoothly that at the end you feel happy for him. Her physicality is projected and used by Zoya in a controlled manner which enhances her beauty.
She embodies the role with such ease that she never looks the out-of-place girl she usually does. She is amazing in this movie as the NRI diving instructor with high intellect. The real surprise in this movie comes from Katrina Kaif. Kalki Koechlin has proved her worth in Shaitan and Dev D. Acting, singing, directing with equal panache.
His movies have always contained a central theme of self-improvement. He has been a part of movies that have changed the face of Indian Cinema. Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar, Kalki Koechlin, Katrina Kaif and Hrithik Roshan. I wonder how many directors in this industry will be able to give a complete character definition of the protagonists through a sequence depicting their luggage-packing-styles for a 3 week trip. Right from the first scene, the director makes this his own. It shouldn't be that you go inside the theater with some invisible strings controlling how you perceive it. If you are planning to go for it, do not read the rest of this. This extremism mainly comes from my distrust on Indian Media which trashes movies that are comfortably awesome.
Before going for this movie I was careful not to read anything about it, not watch a single trailer.
