So imagine my delight at a story where Friendship isn't defined by the click of a mouse, and love goes far beyond what happiness it brings the individual! And self-sacrifice, well that word and idea is increasingly considered more evil than profanity. In an era where your "friends" can un-friend you and a relationship status is defined on a Facebook page where emotional bonds are formed via Twitter, message boards, and email, the true concept of friendship and even love is changing faster than I can keep up with! I'm not even 30 yet and I despair that absolutely no effort is required to make a "friend" anymore. A Hindi "love story" leaves me more emotionally fulfilled. Maybe that's why most rom-coms don't do it for me. I find here in the West we shy away from big emotion in favor of sexual chemistry. As someone who doesn't really go for the romantic comedy genre much, it's a good thing Hindi "love stories" must have grand scope and big emotions. It's not meant to be great art al la ] it's a very good romantic dramady. Artistically speaking, this movie earns a respectable 3.5 here. Okay I tend to award the stars based on how much I like watching the film, not on how artistically brilliant it is.
