Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is the story of the relationship between two characters, Bunny (Ranbir Kapoor) & Naina (Deepika Padukone), at two separate but defining times in their lives... first, when they are just out of college and standing on the crossroads of multiple decisions that will shape who and what they become... and then later on, in their late-twenties when they meet again, holding on to certain fulfilled and certain unfulfilled dreams, at a crossroads of another nature this time... how these two characters affect, change, befriend and eventually fall in love with each other is the journey the film aspires to take us on...

too formulaic

After all the hullabaloo and the packed theatres, I finally went to see it with my partner. And... I was disappointed. The movie started with a formulaic plot. The entire first half was a needlessly extended and excruciating cliché. I actually walked out of the hall because I couldn't bear the mediocrity and would have gone home had my partner not been there with me. The second half was made slightly better by the stronger dialogue.

What I'm wondering is how a movie can be made that's almost three hours long but still gives you the feeling at the end of the day that the allegedly sumptuous meal you've just eaten hasn't filled half your belly.

I'm not going to watch any more coming-of-age Bollywood movies. I'm through with beating the dead horse.
