A lovely bitter-sweet movie.
Pryiyanka's portrayal of an autistic girl is exquisite and sensitive. The depiction is genuine and sustained throughout the film - the make-up could have been better, e.g., her sparkling teeth would be more apt in a Pepsodent ad. The dental hygiene of such a handicapped person would not be so squeaky clean.
Ranbir has acting stamped into his genes, thanks to his Kapoor lineage, that started from the thespian Prithviraj. Raj Kapoor the Chaplinesque Joker, the wild Shammi, the joi de vivre of Randhir, the suave and lady-killer Shashi, irrepressible and cute Papa Rishi and Mom Neetu's buoyancy and vivacity are all amalgamated into a delightful package called Ranbir Kapoor.
The plot is a wee bit convoluted, but the music and lyrics are just perfect and not intrusive. The introductory song is hilarious, Delhi cinema-goers should heed the words - think of your neighbours; keep the baby and mobile on silent.
i agree with you about priyanaka's teeth. they also struck me as too perfect for the role she was playing
