Especially with the melodious and mournful title track composed by Jeet Gannguli.Д«ut it's impossible to take these people seriously. In earlier films like Aashiqui 2, he managed to manipulate our emotions effectively. But it's too little, too late.Дirector Mohit Suri has mastered the art of overblown melodrama. Vidya shines in a fiery climactic speech in which Vasudha finally seems to grow a spine. Rajkummar Rao invests Hari with more layers than he actually has. The mom turns around dramatically and says: 'Yeh banjaran kaun hai.' At which point I laughed out loud.Д®mraan, however, keeps a straight face and tries his best to be brooding, sexy and intense. For me, the final straw was a scene in which Aarav takes Vasudha to see his mother. In which when a mother-in-law advises her daughter-in-law to throw away her mangalsutra because she knows her son is a scoundrel, the daughter-in-law replies: 'Iss mangalsutra ko utaar phenkne ki himmat nahin mere mein.' In which characters says lines like: 'Har khubsoorat cheez mein daag hota hai'. In which grown-up people in love give each other meaningful looks and sigh a lot. In which, when a man declares love for a woman, she sprints back to her apartment in anguish, holds her mangalsutra and weeps. This is the kind of film in which, when a lead character dies, a diya is snuffed out by the wind. And then it just gets sillier and sillier.

Where has he been? In Bastar, where he was kidnapped by terrorists. Of course this kahani has to remain adhuri because Hari re-enters Vasudha's life. She dismisses his affection as 'hawas', but eventually falls hard for him. Vasudha is his employee, which doesn't stop him from falling in love with her. Aarav, we are repeatedly told, owns 108 hotels around the world. She still wears a mangalsutra and writes fake birthday cards to their son so that he doesn't think his father abandoned them.Д®nter Aarav Ruparel, a self-made tycoon played by Emraan Hashmi. Written by Mahesh Bhatt, Hamari Adhuri Kahani is about a single mother, Vasudha, whose husband Hari, played by Rajkummar Rao, disappeared five years ago. What's shocking and sad is that there is so much talent here - my heart went out to Vidya Balan, who does her best to invest her weepy, wilting character with some personality but is hobbled by this story. Hamari Adhuri Kahani is archaic, willfully regressive and just blatantly absurd. This film feels like it's from dinosaur ki biradari. That's the question I had on my mind as I watched Hamari Adhuri Kahani. He asks an elderly man: 'Tu dinosaur ki biradari ka hai?' Remember that terrific scene in Tanu Weds Manu Returns where Datto's brother makes a fierce plea for gender equality? He rips into his regressive relatives who are refusing to let Datto marry Manu. Cast: Emraan Hashmi, Vidya Balan, Rajkummar Rao
