Raabta (2017)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Fantastic!

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Better movie than all the other masala crap movies Bollywood is making.

To make a movie on reincarnation is a risky job for a screenwriter because it mostly fails. Raabta is a classic example to the aforementioned. Weak story-line, substandard acting, awful costumes & make up. Also the limited color palette used to portray the past life does not set the mood. It reflects less research made by the Color Consultant/Cinematographer. In my opinion, "Valley of Flowers" is the best Indian reincarnation movie so far.

First half of the film. Lets say I wasn't too impressed. I came to watch mainly for the modern aspect of the story, but I found the characters to be a bit annoying? Shiv has quite a strong personality and comes off very strong, meanwhile Saira is more tolerable. Lets just say the characters are quite intense. Although I may have not liked their characters as much, I did enjoy experiencing their love and relationship. Those were the times I actually enjoyed the characters.I feel like there was no sense of direction. There was a lot of things happening, as if the director just threw in a bunch of scenes in there to give us an understanding of the characters and their relationship, but it just made the film a bit sloppy.There is a lot of sound effects in attempt to make the scenes more dramatic but I personally didn't like it. There were sound effects/music in like almost every scene. Some scenes were a bit over-dramatic, where the characters would say their dialogues in a more cheesy than serious tone. Definitely didn't like that because I really wanted some scenes that were more conversational and serious.The second half however I really enjoyed because it focuses on their modern day story and how it ties into their past lives. Although the modern story failed to gain my interest, the half about reincarnation is definitely worth a watch.I definitely prefer their past life characters way more than their present day characters, mainly because it was more serious and less cheesy dialogue.It's not a bad film. Cheesy and a bit over dramatic, but it did get an emotional response from my friend and I. There were times where we were angry, surprised, in awe, and were just like YESSS.It definitely had potential to be a great film, but anyways great job to the cast on their performance.So would I recommend it? If you like cheesiness, over-dramatic love stories then definitely. But it you want something more serious with a more complex script and story line, then no. I'd say the film is more directed toward the younger crowd.

Its a one time watchable movie. Not that entertaining but u can pass the time as reincarnation movies are less in Indian cinemasSushant Singh Rajput comes across With Full confident on-screen but he seems to go a notch overboard. There is a hint of Little overacting to most of his scenes. Actress Kriti Sanon looks pretty Hot but in terms of acting its is average. She fails to make her presence felt among the other two actors.Plot is similar to other historical romantic movies. 1st half is good but second half lagsOverall the movie is okish. One may not regret after watching this as there are no better option than this in theaters now 😑
