What Are the Odds Movie Review:

A girl named Vivek (yes, what are the odds?), who is also wont to screaming at the drop of a hat, manages to skip her Hindi scholarship exam. How? By stealing her hall ticket at the exam venue and then taking off. So, why did she just not turn up for the exam then, also a question posed to her by Ashwin (Karanvir Malhotra), the school head boy with whom she ends up spending her day. Because she wanted to register a protest and not conform to the preset notions of society. Yes, that. It comes across as even more pointless when you actually watch it.

Anyway, while stealing her hall ticket Vivek (Yashaswini Damaya) ends up stealing that of Ashwin’s as well and they inadvertently spend the rest of the day together.

This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 5.4 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 445.

Critics Rating Sreeparna Sengupta, from Times Of India give 2.5 star out of 5 Star.
