It is disheartening to find that a person like Danish Aslam who had started his career working on such inspired movies like "Swades" and "Being Cyrus"(second assistant director in both movies) has decided to make his directorial debut with a movie like Break Ke Baad.
The start of the movie is the only area in which some credit can be given as it was able to build up some excitement. Initial Credits slowly roll in a very innovative and catchy way as the childhood and teenage years of the protagonists(Abhay and Aliya) is shown. But the trouble with the movie starts as soon as Imran Khan and Deepika Padukone appear as Abhay and Aliya respectively in the present day. The movie rushes forward with uninspired dialogue and screenplay and it is difficult to understand the characters of Abhay and Aliya. Due to the poor character sketches the actors are also not able to breathe any life into the characters. You are virtually in for a shock when the word "Interval" is shown in front of you as you feel totally short changed for your time and money.
Even though some amount of sanity returns to the movie in the second half the ending is again a total let down as it is through and through unconvincing. The rest of the cast with some emminent names like Sharmila Tagore and Lilette Dubey have only ornamental roles.
One reason you can go and watch this movie is because Deepika Padukone is such an eye candy and is on a fashion show throughout the movie. If that isn't reason enough please dont even touch the DVD of this movie as it is going to have a very quick launch.
