WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
riteshin I think every one have there own choice to watch the movie , but to recommend this movie to other is awful .Movie Worst Thing's .1) 12 Priyanka is not digestive in this movie , If they took 12 different girls in movie then it will look pretty much different .2) Length of movie is 3+ hrs another worst thing.I Really appreciate those who watch this movie in Hall :) , But More surprising Ashutosh Made this Movie after (Lagaan & Swades ) So guys u r mind , don't waste u r money .Songs are good in movie but still not pretty much fit on movie themes only 4 listening is good .
sandhirflora Fate of a person might be determined by his/her stars. But fate of movies are determined not just by stars (the ones on the sky plus the ones on the ground) but by many other factors. This whole idea of making a film version of, Madhu Rye's old classic Gujarati novel 'Kimball Ravenswood", is a smart move. Already there were many versions for theater (a popular one by Naushil Mehta) as well as a hit TV series called Mr. Yogi by film-maker Ketan Mehta, based on the same novel. The idea nonetheless is smart one and contemporary too with the decision of casting same actress for twelve roles playing one girl for each of twelve rashis (sun signs). Now imagine a film which has everything going perfect viz. big banner, top director and a story from a popular best selling novel, is a winner in hand. Right? No, wrong! The positive thing about the film is it is not your run of the mill film but a fresh attempt minus a fresh approach. The screenplay is dull and dragging. The dialogs are uninteresting. It is a half-baked, half hearted attempt. The film not just fails at script level but even the treatment and narrative reminds you of films from 80s. It also has a world record of same actress (Priyanka Chopra), playing twelve different characters but there is not much depth in the twelve distinct characters of the lead actress, in fact many of them look quite similar. It seems the whole effort is gone into giving 12 different get ups to the lead actress rather than infusing some life into the uninspiring characters. . Even if one ignores the astrological features, one would surely be interested in watching twelve different girls who are contrastingly, diverse in characters. It would be interesting if contemporary sex politics would have introduced. To make plot further confusing, a silly subplot of spying on a marriage consultant for extra marital affair, just fails to hold the story together. There are though interesting moments to hold viewer's interest viz. meeting with the jeweler father as well as meeting with prospective bride who asks for pre-nuptial agreement but they are too few and far. A lot more in performances is expected. Other characters too look like boring caricatures i.e. one-dimensional. If that is not enough, the length of 3.30 hrs surely kills you. A lot of trimming is needed. Numerous songs woven in the storyline is an unnecessary measure though songs sound better than the film but in isolation (Music Sohail Sen). If Director Ashutosh Gowariker had attempted a slice of life, subtle, intelligent comedy on the lines of Mr. Yogi, it would have worked better. Worse, the narrative is handled in an old fashioned linear way, whether it is dramatic, romantic or comic, you don't know. It surprises you that this film is coming from the director of brilliant films like Lagaan and Jodha Akbar. It seems makers have more faith in checking the rashi of film rather than checking the pulse of audience.
aman_nanda55 First of all, WYR is based on a pretty interesting premise - the 12 zodiac signs. It has universal appeal as almost everyone has read their daily horoscope and is familiar with the sun signs. However, the interesting part stops right there and the movie is treated in a very banal manner. Every girl in the zodiac gets a song of her own - quality and brevity suffers as a result. Perhaps a better idea might have been to have just one-verse songs - it would be innovative while not taking away from the film-maker's vision. For some reason Gowariker sticks to the tried and tested. What we end up is a 200-minute movie. I looked up at my watch at least 5 times, and that is never a good sign.... The best thing about the movie is Priyanka Chopra who is able to create 12 distinct characters and essays contrasting roles be it a simple Gujju village girl or an uber-cold professional with relative ease. Harman has his moments especially when he is empathizing with other characters and remains understated. The rest of the cast is real and authentic for the most part and keeps moving the story forward unlike the songs. All in all, WYR had the potential to be a rom-com with small sub-plots - almost a la PG Wodehouse. However, it turns to formula and ends up in the mediocre realm.
