SOCHA NA THA marks the debut of yet another Deol and in that respect, the comparison with his peers is inevitable. First, the positive points!
--Abhay is an efficient actor and the boy-next-door looks gel well with the character he portrays. He has handled the dramatic moments as well as the emotional ones without resorting to going overboard. and ayesha is a home girl who have lost thier parents and live with her uncle.
--Although the story of SOCHA NA THA is not remotely similar to QAYAMAT SE QAYAMAT TAK, there’s no denying that a few moments in the film do remind the viewer of the Aamir-Juhi starrer. Especially the portions when the two warring families collide time and again!
--SOCHA NA THA has light moments aplenty and a few of them have been handled deftly. In fact, director has not only handled the light moments with flourish, but also the delicate.Clearly, the merit lies not as much in the dramedy of errors in the movie as much as how as it plays out with some well-timed humour, without clichéd concoctions and constant movements in the narrative.moments between todays generation with sensitivity.
--Sandesh Shandilya’s music is melodious. The tunes are soft and easy on the ears. ’Yaara Rab’, ’Abhi Abhi Mere Dil Mein’ and the title track can easily be singled out for their honey-sweet tunes. But the absence of a hit track in a love story is sorely felt! Cinematography is decent. Dialogues deserve special mention. The youth is sure to identify with it!
However what best expresses the vibe of the film is a young guy?s remark, ?Film itni achi hogi, Socha Na Tha!?
Don?t expect a classic, but I think you should go for it.
