But as time passes it is revealed that even Gautham Falls for Meera and being with Veronica no longer interest him. At one instance, Veronica comes to know the truth. How did she react? Was it a fairy tale ending or tragedy? Who lost whom? Watch the movie to witness the rest.

STAR PERFORMANCES: Deepika and her versatile skills made her the star of the movie. Her chemistry with Saif was commendable. Saif’s effortless acting in his comfort zone in impressing girls did work out well. Tina in her debut attempt was fabulous in framing the character and gave a soulful acting. That was a good start. The presentation and modelling of the mixed emotions by them did have an impact among viewers.Introvert, Fun loving and party freak was excellently delivered by Meera, Gautham and Veronica respectively.

WHAT’S THERE? The natural and realistic affection exchanged by Deepika and Tina even though Tina shares her screen with two big shots for the first time. The story was unlike the usual triangle love story in its dynamics. Art direction was something that demanded appreciation.

WHAT’S NOT THERE? The second half did not match the Lightness that first has made us experience. Too much of emotions and hardness was given in the second half. Few scenes were predictable that made the audience lose the connect at some places. Saif couldn’t do the utmost justice to this role, may be his age was a barrier in playing the role of beating around the ladies with an intention to flirt. A flippant way of producing the movie led to a sight where the most dramatic scene could not meet up to the emotional expectation of the audience.

Verdict: A colourful movie with few negative features that had fun loving casts to present a triangle love story in an urban framework that would catch up the minds of the current generation with an insertion of funny moments.
