There was a sense of freshness in its promos, though when one of the three male leads is Zayed Khan.. you have to lower your expectations. The film turned out to be pretty good and fun, infact it was personally much more than that to me.

Jai (Zayed Khan) and Naina (Dia Mirza) have a partner which is pretty much incompatible with them. They both happen to meet at a common friend's wedding place. During the journey, Govind (Cyrus Sahukar) who has had 2 marriages before, happens to meet Sheela (Tisca Chopra) and fall in love. What happens thereafter, isn't tough to predict ...

Despite the predictability factor, what keeps you happy is the regular humourous scenes kept in the screenplay, even in the 2nd half when the story goes on a emotional side.. you keep getting those laughable moments.

The first time director Sahil Sangha handled some scenes beautifully, for instance the start of film though it reminded me of a south film but it was good. Specially the complete marriage place part, was very well directed. He does falter though in 2nd half including climax, but more blame should go towards the editing as well as the screenplay.

Unless you are able to connect to the characters, which I did... the movie would start looking boring from interval onwards which gives a deja vu of I hate luv Storys. Some scenes also appear stupid, especially the 'Jab we Met' theory revisit that takes place, when Naina's friend talks to 3(or four) of her bfs.

Every song is well used, though the much talked about Rab Rakha wasn't quite my fav in the film. I preferred the other 3 songs much more, special reference to love love love.. which I feel was romantic, and ofcourse Benny Dayal sang it very well.

The best moments of the film ----
• The conversations between Jai and Govind.
• The conversation on the 'Hot' topic between the three friends.
• Govind and Sheela's meetings.
• Govind meeting Sheela's dad.


Performances wise,

Zayed Khan is good. At places, he goes over the top.. but much above that what one expects from him these days.

Dia Mirza was looking so gorgeous. Plus, she always looks innocent, and acts well too.

Cyrus Sahukar was really good. I haven't liked him much in his previous films, but in this film his humour works a lot.

Tisca Chopra, impresses. She has probably only 2 long scenes in the film, and she comes across as a very good actress in them.

Satyadeep Mishra and Auritra Ghosh are nice in their supportive roles.

Umang Jain is good, leaving apart that over the top jab we met scene.

Pallavi Sharda is fine.Vaibhav Talwar looked completely suited to his role.

Good to see Farida Jalal back in a film, should do more films.. she was lovely as always.

Among the cameos, Boman Irani and Shabana Azmi were the best.. awesome actors they are, one scene they get each, and yet they shine in them like how. Shahrukh Khan looks very old in his sequence, as he plays himself.


Overall, Love Breakups Zindagi is a nice film, with some humour, emotions, and little talk on relationship handling.. nothing preachy.


Verdict : Nice
