Masand: 'Break Ke Baad' is an engaging film 28 Nov 2010 | 206 Views | admin
As romantic comedies go "Break Ke Baad", starring Imran Khan and Deepika Padukone, is arguably more engaging than recent films of this genre - "Aisha", "Anjaana Anjaani" and "Jhootha Hi Sahi". Yet this film suffers from one key problem that plagued all those movies - clumsy writing. Imran and Deepika play Abhay and Aaliya, movie-besotted childhood friends who've been seeing each other for some ten-odd years.

A sweet, smart story that seems straight out of someone’s life. Break Ke Baad has an endearing everyday quality sans the maudlin filmi twists and turns that reek of reality. Aliya (Deepika Padukone) and Abhay (Imran Khan) have known each other all their lives and have been dating ever since they can remember. She is the chalk to his cheese, the shot of extra foam to his latte. He is sorted, quiet, indulgent and patient, very patient. She is wild, willful, self-centered and selfish in a self-absorbed, I-me-myself way. He knows theyRead more...
"As actors, we all want our audience to like our work; so even if you ask me this question after five years I will say yes I want to work harder and harder to be loved by my audience."
