london paris new york
Rediff Rating:
(two out of five)
Daily Bhaskar, found the film average. Giving it two stars out of five, the review said the “plot doesn’t justify the connectivity between the lead characters.” It said that while the first half of the movie takes too long to sink in, the second half drags.
Bollywood website Glamsham.com seemed very impressed with the film calling it “a definite ‘must see’ on your ‘to do list’ this weekend.”
london paris new is a love story that follows the life of two strangers as they meet in different cities for one night each over the period of eight years.
The duo that laugh, cry, make love, sneer across the three megacities include Nikhil Chopra (Ali Zafar), an aspiring filmmaker and Lalitha Krishnan, a stereotypical social activist. Nikhil and Lalitha meet by chance (about time we have a premeditated love story!) at London airport, where the latter is stalled as her New York flight gets postponed. Nikhil decides to grin his way into playing tour guide to Lalitha. Clearly working on the opposites attract theme, Lalitha believes in covering the highlights in her Lonely Planet, while Nikhil exposes his pearly whites every 10 seconds and offers pearls of wisdom like, ‘Kisi ne mujhse kahan tha, be true to yourself and yehi meri zindagi ka sabse bada sach hain.’. From lying at a park and staring at the sky to doing the bhangra with the Brits to waltzing in deserted churches, they pack their day with every such activity that represents a bootleg free spirit. And yes, they also scream out to no one in particular to announce they’re free. Now is when you’re concerned about your own freedom, which is snatched away in the confines of this movie hall.
