Review of Raabta

Raabta (2017)
2/10
Connection is short circuited
9 June 2017
There was nothing in the name of story. It is most conveniently conceived movie about reincarnation. Screenplay offers some freshness in beginning like, ice cream being swapped between lead pair very casually but then it starts being repetitive. Dialogues are good at places. Love triangle comes and the spark of freshness turns into bitterness. The actor who was introduced as third angle is unbearable. His characterization is purely baseless. Film back ground is set abroad and clearly lead girl is very comfortable with English then why this third angle was trying to converse with her in typical Hindi, when he was not a bit comfortable with Hindi!! Just for audience sake!? All dialogues he mouthed, you have to bear and most of the time you feel different emotions than it was meant. Second half takes you into flash back of some ancient era. This flash back is so dull that even being full of actions going on screen, you have to yawn and stretch. Even you fail to understand the reason of all the happenings. Then they toss childish climax. Performance wise Sushant Singh Rajput as Shiv is impressive. He is so swift with the emotions as a flamboyant and subtle as a warrior. Kirti Sanon as Saira is good in romantic scenes but looks confused in flash back scenes.
