A venerable work by Imitiaz Ali. The movie carries : -> That feeling of missing your childhood. -> Heartbreak. Duh! -> That feeling that you are someone whom you are not meant to be. I'd like to believe Deepika's character is merely a device to push the storyline further. Otherwise, it'd be warranted to say that the director has missed on the niceties of her character. [spoiler] The ending of the "hero" going to his girl back is banal. I think it was tailored to please the masses. I would've preferred the screen to go dark once the protagonist narrated his new-found story to his father; thereby finding out who he is meant to be. [/spoiler]

Yeh Kya TAMASHA laga rakha hai!!! Acting - Awesominngggg! Story - Well, Blah! Could have been a whole lot better. Writers were on right track for a while.
