TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Zoheb Haider A near perfect debut from Imtiaz Ali. Socha Na Tha is a tale of perfectly timed dialogs in the most practical way and are so natural to relate with our personal experiences in relationships. A refreshing blend of faces with Ayesha Takiya and the débutant Abhay Deol also helps the course of the movie because they have no stereotypes when it comes to role play. The acting part could have been improved just a lil bit, it looks a bit unpolished at times but overall a total worth watch! Seriously, this is how crazy, stupid and cute love is! The runaway bride scene at the end of the movie is hilarious and sooooo lovable :)

Sandeep Gupta Socha Na Tha. Literally, who ever thought that the first outing of love specialist Imtiaz Ali is an underrated and lesser known fantastic piece of cinema. From the word go, it's a charming tale of two strangers falling in love and not knowing it until its very late and then the chaos ensues. Abhay Deol and Ayesha Takia fits into their characters so well that you really want them to be together. But it's Imitiaz Ali's detailed deep writing, heart felt dialogs and well etched side characters like Ayesha Zulka playing Abhay Deol's sweet picture perfect Indian bhabhi and Suresh Oberoi playing Abhay Deol's strict and loving father, who remain with you even after the end credit closes. The strange turn of events, polished performances, light music and charming dialogs make it a super romantic comedy with lots of heart. Don't miss it, if you ever come across an opportunity of watching this!!

Avinash Patalay "Socha Na Tha", it came, it saw and it went away. Like me many of you would have missed it. Post-Jab We Met however rewrites the rules and I was persuaded to retrace my steps and take notice to Imtiaz Ali. Believe me - true to its title "Socha Na Tha" Imtiaz is a fine story teller indeed. Probably it was the timing of the release or perhaps it lacked the star-value owing to which it didn't get the recognition it deserved. Abhay Deol:: A launch pad and its very much like for a first-timer. Quite confident and who anticipated that this guy would carve a genre for himself. In retrospection the failure of "Socha Na Tha" (read that as "non performance") saved the Indian Cinema of type-casting Abhay as yet another hero in the number game. So its "good riddance...." for him which made him a character actor.I particularly liked his character which does a proper "Create a problem, solve it and then claim 'Yes I have done it!!!'". Ayesha Takia:: For her stint in Bollywood perhaps the closest she would be proud of next to "Dor". Quite promising and a matured performance delivering at ease the director backed role. Apoorva Jha:: Leaves a lasting impression actually - pity she wasn't seen much around after this movie. Managed to pull-off Karen quite realistically.Ayesha Jhulka:: Wouldn't be wrong to state this Bhabhi as lovable as Renuka Shahane from HAHK. A natural transformation for Ayesha too.The rest of supporting cast which includes Suresh Oberoi, Rati Agnihotri, Raj Zutshi, Sandhya Mridul were adequate. Nearly forgot - Vijay Maurya as well.Not many noticed but "Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa" heavily borrowed the concept of "So when do you know it's love?" from "Socha Na Tha". On the same note it does bears resemblance to the "Saif-Sonali" track from "Dil Chahta Hain".Epilogue:: Go for it - to watch the genius trotting his initial steps!
