Don’t you love that feeling when you walk out of a film humming, ready to break into a jig? That’s the kind of film this is. Which is not surprising, as it is a Karan Johar film through and through. He even has a guest appearance in it! And if you like his particular brand of family films, you will be running for this movie before you read the last word.
The essential story is not new(quite like Cinderella and other fairy tales) but it is freshly told. It explores a father-daughter relationship that flourishes in the absence of a mother’s love. The film begins with an animation sequence that explains the reason behind Alia’s alienation from her mother and grandmother(Sushma Seth).
Something that doesn’t seem to bother young Alia(Alia Bhatt) much, who like most kids today shrugs it off, choosing to focus on her intimate connection with her father(Pankaj Kapur) and somewhat cliched relationship with her fat sister(Sanah Kapoor) instead.
