You wish the film had been braver in its intention of creating a really cracking rom-com, instead of playing its clichés for a laugh.

Is that enough to override the problems of the movie, that I was fairly amused? Ultimately, I wouldn't say so.

The truth is that 3DP (on a good day, this would stand for Deepika Padukone being third in a guestlist) isn't a very thoughtful "social comedy."

De De Pyaar De, which has its rare moments, never holds up: It's no different than innumerable Hindi films that lets its hero get what he wants over the course of two hours.
