criticism

“Indian love story in true Bollywood fashion, several relationships are put to the test when couples who are friends meet again after years, revise their previous decisions and finally are hit by a catastrophe that leaves no one untouched. Nicely decorated ensemble drama meets disaster film in 3D format, not everything seems logical or coherent, but drama, tension and variety are provided. "
