I'm not a Priyanka fan at all, but I think this was Shahid's best look yet. His shayari, as I've mentioned before, is killer as Javed (his 1910 character) even in the trailers. So I saw this movie Friday the 22nd, the day it released, in theaters. As you probably know by this point, the movie's tagline is "thrice upon a love story" and takes place in 3 separate eras; 1910, 1960, and 2012.

The story is the simple love triangle you would expect. Both Goving and Rukhsar have shy type of characters, which I found adorable. Unfortunately though, this is about as deep as this story gets. Then we move into 2012 with Krish and Radha. Krish's ex-girlfriend is played by Neha Sharma, and the character is Meera. I thought it was really clever that they had the Krish-Radha-Meera thing going. Anyways, the story here is pretty much the same triangle, but in modern times. Twitter, Facebook, and WhatsApp play matchmaker as the characters rely on those heavily to communicate with one another. I'm not really a fan of using these tools in movies because they're always exaggerated to the point of stupidity. This movie didn't help that very much. Phrases like "this is so going on Facebook" sound cheesy when used incorrectly, even if that is how people talk in reality. Once we get to the creation of the love triangle here, we move into 1910 with Javed and Aradhana. This was undoubtedly my favorite era. Javed is a complete ladies' man and uses his shayari (poetry) to flirt with girls. Of course when he finally falls in ...
