I owe my watching this movie to a casual remarks by a colleague at work and the fact that it came up in a movie database search. I had totally missed the release to this one due to my frequent travels abroad. But having enjoyed Gowri Shinde's debut movie, " English Vinglish" I sure wanted to catch up on this one.
A very refreshing movie indeed. Alia's Bhat's portrayal of Kaira's bohemian life was to near perfection. Kaira is an astute photographer who is trying to make a name for herself and is very passionate about what she does. At the same time she is flighty, slightly vulnarable and quite messed up when it comes to relationships. She struggles with commitment issues. She hates her parents and is surrounded by a group of close knit friends who stand by her through thick and thin. Kaira reminds one of a typical urban young adult one meets these days.
It is by chance that Dr.Jehangir Khan ( Shahrukh Khan ) enters her life. Dr. Khan is a well known and eccentric Psychiatrist. Alia engages him to help her get over problem. The entire movie pretty much revolves around this engagement. Dr. Khan helps Kaira confront her fears and shed her baggage's. This entire journey was quite engaging.

The movie was a perfect Sunday night entertainer. I wouldn't recommend it for kids at impressionable age though.
Verdict :- 7/10. Not bad at all.
