London, Paris, New York Movie Review :
This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 5.7 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 3665.
Contrived after Before Sunrise and Before Sunset is an enjoyable movie but missed “the perfect milestone” by few miles. Movie is one of it’s kind which will either be loved or hated (not for those who love run off mill Rom – Com). Surely you will notice a nagging feeling of “it could have been just a little bit better(not much, but just teeny weeny better)” to each encounter between the couple, that’s because the director was racing against the clock, desperate to emulate too much of Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. The leads did justice to their roles.The breezy vibe and the crackling chemistry between the duo is splendid and the humor, isn’t of the laugh-out-loud variety, but includes some clever zingers. The spontaneous outburst from Ali in a climax scene in New York is superbly written and nicely performed. Watch it for its freshness and you won’t be bored.
Critics Rating by Taran Adarsh, from Bollywood Hungama give 3.5 star out of 5 Star.
