LEKAR HUM DEEWANA DIL - Arif Ali ,, brother of one of my favorite director Imtiaz Ali,,,,,and Armann Jain grandson of Raj Kapoor ,, both doesn't have a good start......It doesn't seems like they two have their genuine passion of doing Bollywood movies as Director and Actor respectively.....And if they are doing this just for the fact that somebody else (in case of Arif Ali) or everybody else(in case of Armaan Jain) in their family is doing this ,, then they should rethink about their carrier...... About Arif Ali i may say that may be he could do better with experience and if he got good stories(as this one is written by himself-so i can say he is quite a bad writer)......... But for Armaan Jain ,, this boy is seriously bad and could ruin the names of Kapoors.....He barely can act,,,,his expression are really bad,,,,and he dance awkward ....... In comparison to him Diksha as our lead actress is good if not very good,,,,but she has to improve as well.....But interestingly the supporting cast have helped little,,,,but that's not enough because most of the time supporting actors are not with them..... The story is totally aimless,,,,you cant imagine where its heading,,,,although predictable you will scream out loud why the same things keep happening without taking the story anywhere...... Sometimes you will think how boys and girls do such stupid things ....... Music is average,,,,that too from the gem of India A R Rehman ,,,, seems like he also have started giving his best only to the big or you can say selected directors...... Bad Editing is one of the biggest enemy in the movie,,,,,as the movie is just 2hr and 20min (that's one of the reason why i have decide to watch the movie regardless of the bad reviews as the movie was short) still you will wait that why not still the interval have come....Before half of the movie is finished you are already bored and you know that another is yet to come....... M not getting much to write about the movie,,,,simply skip it,,,,rather you may watch Bobby Jassos which got little better reviews ,, or Transformer 4 will be the best selection.... 4 out of 10 .... by ANuP APu KuMaR

LEKAR HUM DEEWANA DIL has got its heart in the right place. There's a boy. There's a girl. Romance blossoms. They face roadblocks. There's heartbreak. They drift apart. Ultimately, all's well that ends well. Arif uses the time-tested template to narrate a story, but, let's not overlook the fact that a mere outline with the usual tropes can never make an out of the ordinary film. Thankfully, Arif cushions the proceedings with sparkling moments in the first hour, but the writing slips in the post-interval portions. On the whole, LEKAR HUM DEEWANA DIL has several wonderful moments and genuine sparks that stay with you. The film should appeal to its target audience -- the youth. Lekar Hum Deewana Dil is a sweet film that borrows the elopement theory from evergreen 70s'-80s' romances like Bobby, Love Story and Betaab. It even has shades of Arif's older brother Imtiaz's Jab We Met and Highway. But this has a mint-crisp feel with its .com lingo. The lack of melodrama, for most part of the movie, is also refreshing. And if you're looking to cuddle up this monsoon just like the slightly mismatched young couple in the movie, attempt doing it the LHDD way. Somewhere in the middle of their escape from parental tyranny, this Bobby-meets-Highway-meets-Chalte-Chalte loses the plot. To sum it up, Lekar Hum Deewana Dil would have done much better for itself had it tried to find its original voice, instead of pandering to a vague idea of what sells when it comes to love stories. Because who has ever cracked the code for that? At various points in Lekar Hum Deewana Dil, the word 'blunder' is uttered. Quite apt! And in the run-up to the climax, which predictably unfolds at a big fat wedding ceremony, the harried heroine says that she cannot handle the pain anymore. Neither can the audience. Well before the film draws to a close, you begin to wish it was shorter. Lekar Hum Deewana Dil is much ado about nothing and painfully pointless. There is a germ of an idea in showing how their grand plans fall apart as reality sets in the relationship, and they end up hating each other and return home. But it is shallowly executed. The second half is a predictable sequence of events where they both realize that they actually are in love. In a film like this, you know within the first fifteen minutes what you're setup for - a separation and a reconciliation. That's the one line story for Lekar Hum Deewana Dil.
