Firstly I am sorry PTA (One of my favourites)  I get all the goodness of this latest PTA’s movie - lead characters even if there is a age gap, they are still somewhat great together and that’s what movie tried to tell. Some part of it was fun and breezy. They are messed up characters trying to get their shit together in lives but they sense some special connection whenever they are together. I get all these. And yes visually stunning and cool performances. But what were those sub-plots that happened around them that didn’t much add anything to their relationship or even a story as a whole. Some of it were poorly written. It was like a filler scenes just to add up to the duration or to make it funny. Don’t get me wrong, I am totally into stuffs that does something which is beyond known rom-com tropes. PTA did exactly that but it didn’t work for me here in the end.  Because of this I really couldn’t love this film and couldn’t totally connect with their messy relationship or feel anything to be honest. I get what it was trying to do but…….But Ending was lovely and that’s it. I am surely in a minority who didn’t love this as much as others. Disappointing.  Lastly, again I am sorry PTA (one of my favourites)
