I really cannot understand the obsession of bollywood w/ love and love stories. I mean, you can have a love story, but it has to be believable and the characters have to take a journey together to reach that pinnacle called "love".
But here, the director - Ayan Mukerji has taken his audience for granted and forced and shoved down our throats, the "love" between Shiva (Ranbir) & Isha (Alia). The repeated "I love you"s, the nagging name-calling, reasonless longing of each other, and the many many hugs, just don't add up-to the feel and emotion of the plot.
The director could've made the movie even w/o love with some other concept, or maybe, mature the characters enough to show their love and make it more believable.
This immature try on a love story doesn't slap the audience with some emotion every 10-15 minutes. I was able to sit through this movie because of Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Akkineni Nagarjuna & visuals (I could see that the production was really high quality), otherwise, the movie doesn't have anything to its name.
I really hope they at least break-even from their est. Budget of Rs. 410,00,00,000 (410 Cr), because it breaks my heart to see so much money go into drain like this.
But apart from giving a heavy dosage of cringe and headache, I also was pretty hooked when there were some elements of action in the movie. The movie did leave a gate open to the next part "Dev", but I don't know whether I'm really that interested to watch the movie, unless the director changes and makes this cringefest of character development into a mature one.
Bollywood has to understand this really fast and really well now that, the Indian audience won't accept this immature development of a relationship between humans. Write better scripts, that's it!
I do give it 4/10 because of the production quality, visuals (3D is really good), the action sequences, and the roles played by SRK, BigB & Nag.

I'm not sure why Mohan Babu is still acting. He should stop making movies altogether. After watching this movie, I realised why it got its deposits seized on the opening weekend itself.
Fun fact is, the actors are only visible towards the end of the movie. Throughout the movies, since Mohan Babu (Actor and the Producer) couldn't have paid the full remuneration of these actors. He put other actors, whom he blurred through, in the entire movie. During the end, their faces were visible, since he could only pay for them for those many minutes of their performance.
It's such a disingenuous attempt on making a movie. Such apostasy in movie making. I can't stand their entire family, the "Manchu" family. Everyone in this Manchu family should realise that they don't know how to act, and stop making movies.
Whole-heartedly, I give this movie a 0/10. If I could give a rating in negative, I would've.
Please don't waste your precious time on this movie. I beg you.
