sheer lyrical piece of brilliant art..

What a movie guys, its a treat to watch.. A complete entertainer that will suffice the taste buds of every generation.. A movie that i felt looked & felt so fresh even after 4 years of its release.. & that's where the débutant director & his team score... Its like poetry on celluloid with each frame, every moment conveying a story of its own., such is the fluidity &thought making gone in its formulation... With crisp editing, the movie unfolds & carves magic over the viewer..,

A coming of age film which takes us through the life of a loser & aimless boy & his metamorphosis into an independent man.. A movie that packs in it do many lessons of life, portraying life, love & some,nay but many endearing moments... Wait, this ain't just the director & his team but also the rock star of our generation who by his brilliant screen presence simply lights up every frame.. He has that magical essence that makes the flick all the more watchable & guess no one else possibly could have done what he has... Be it his arrogance, naughty smile, caring nature or exuberance, he portrays every emotion in the book with much ease.. He lives his role simply.. Watching him apologize to his father or loving his mom or striking chemistry with his female colleague, i mean it comes naturally to him... Superlative. Next up is the underrated actress who matches ranbir step by step & though one may get the feel that she was miscast but there she proves you wrong by her awesome performance, her expressive face .. Also worth mentioning are small roles played by his two friends & anupam kher as his father & supriya pathak as the mother.. The last two excel in the short screen time alloted & give us some endearing on screen moments & lines.. Especially when the illiterate mother trying to please her son by speaking in bad English & stating that may be in the process she hopes to become friends with her son.. Very touching..

Ah, guess i have gone too long but last not the least is the superb work done in the background score & on the song 'iktara' by Amit Trivedi & sung such beautifully that one can still find people humming it.. He sets the mood by his work & proves that he is here to stay.. Good melodious music.. Photography too is top notch & catches the different moods if mumbai & the characters in true spirits... In all, this has & will stay as the cult classic modern movie in times to come.. Has to be seen to be believed.. Would like to end up with special mention of the silent genius in amit trivedi... almost all great Indian blockbusters have had a great musical hue associated to them n though the trio have composed a good one this time around though but the real & the mood -setter is the background score..watching d flick nth time I realized how beautifully d background score helps in taking the movie forward, with each emotion being attached a separate tone & a rhythm of its own... Breathtakiong work.....
