If a romantic story is well told and if a narrative brings in a breath of fresh air with a hatke directorial approach, even a simple plot can stir those mushy feelings in you instantly. But there’s no denying the fact that no other emotion makes you more empathetic, compassionate and above all, engaged, than love. Love blooming between two individuals with diagonally opposite personalities is perhaps the most exploited plot in the movie business - more so in Bollywood. Parineeti Chopra’s amazing spontaneity and Sidharth Malhotra’s earnest performance make debutante director Vinil Mathew’s romedy a breezy watch.
