Thanks Meera, I think that the film is worth seeing for the four lead actors. As a filmmaker, I hope that you would be concerned about the script and narrative structure.

I agree it would be better to have seen the development you describe – and that is one of the flaws of the script. A ‘best friend’ like this is however also a convention of romcoms. It is just as conceivable that Aditi and Naina were friends on the trekking holiday who lost contact later. A more interesting script would have found a different way of bringing the four back together (and not abandoning Avi) without having Naina go through that awful speech. This a successful conventional film but that shouldn’t mean a poorly thought through script.
