Hamari Adhuri Kahani

After taking a few steps forward, Bollywood returns to the familiar rut when it comes to women-centric films.

"A true love story has no end," Aarav says to his assistant. This one does, but by that point - despite its laudable warnings about brutally controlling husbands - it has shed much credibility.

You are promised a touching love story; you get zilch.

The tragedy of Hamari Adhuri Kahaani, like so many movies before it, is that it turns out looking and sounding so stupid. It could have worked if only the director had taken the effort to de-clutter it.
