To day I am going to review Raabta movie . It is boor movie. Story: Shiv and Saira are drawn to each other like long lost lovers, mostly because they are. Their love dates back centuries, and the reason why they drifted apart, has drifted back into their lives.
The most common advice writes get is: "Show, dont tell." It means that a storyteller is expected to paint a picture as opposed to describing things mechanically. Raabta spends a lot of time telling you things, and not nearly enough in making them seem believable.
Shiv is a lady killer. But the next girl he lays eyes on, Saira, will his long streak. She talks to herself in the mirror and tells us, by its way, that shes been experiencing weird tribal nightmares. As they get infatuated and verbalize to each other that its all happening too soon, Saira starts feeling the same connection with Zakir another blast from way past. Writers Siddhart Garima and debut director Dinesh Vijans conviction isnt questionable, but it doest quite translate to the screen. Even though the movie is technically sound and looks great. It is missing the raw passion required to sell a love story. Especially one thats been brewing for 800 years!
Sushant Singh Rajput is fine actor but lacks the casual charm required to make the self important Shiv lovable. Jim Sarbhs dialogue delivery is painfully awkwarked; he doesnt have the gravitas required for spouting those evil genius kind of lines in Hindi. Kriti Sanon surprise. She looks good and seems to have honed her acting skills.
