To be honest, I was not expecting much from this rom-com (post Jab we met, I've set my standards pretty high) and honestly, I got what I expected. at best, an average film, trying too hard to entertain. It's not a bad film, surely it's not. But when you want to spoof on other films (and IHLS does that well to some degree), make sure you run away from cliches. See, IHLS points at the cliches in so many of our desi love stories, which is the whole point and is fun. But unintentionally goes out and fills cliches where it could have been novel. For eg: When Sonam Kapoor confesses her love to Imran and vice versa. Both scenes are extremely bland and done to death. To make matters worse, a lot of bits and pieces should be credited to american sitcoms Friends and How I met your mother. Imrana nd Sonam are passable and Puneet Malhotra's direction needs finish. Vishal-Shekhar's music is the best thing about this otherwise average candy floss flick.
