The plot begins from Mumbai where Aakash, an ambitious boy is working in an office. Due to the ailing health of his grandfather and a property deal of their old photo studio, he returns to his home in Shimla. The movie shifts into a flashback where we could see the cute relationship he shared with his grandfather and his 'first love' Shruti. Being on the verge of getting fired his only hope for an important contract gets him to Canada in a Yoga camp. Here enters (ex Mrs. Pebblo) Akanksha, an unsuccessful girl in finding true love. Aakash tries to woo her for getting the contract and even she starts developing some genuine feelings for him but destiny strikes here when Shruti meets Aakash in the camp. So will Shruti be able to forgive Aakash? Will Aakash listen to his heart? Will Akanksha turn a hurdle between this couple or will she play an integral part to reunite them? These questions will lead to answers after watching 'Sanam Re.'

Coming to the performances, this film certainly is on the shoulders of actor Pulkit Samrat. He plays the role of Aakash and has the maximum screen time compared to other artists and he proves his capabilities as a performer by pulling out some intense scenes with ease. Sometimes he has gone overboard while performing but it doesn't affect his performance. Yami Gautam who plays Shruti is sheer disappointment, the plot doesn't give her the scope to perform more which leads to a disappointment for all her fans. Urvashi Rautela looks good and her performance is effective and nice in the role of Akanksha. Rishi Kapoor shines very well in his 'extended' cameo part, he proves when it comes to experiment no one can overshadow this veteran who plays the grandfather to Pulkit Samrat.

Divya Khosla Kumar, the wife of T-Series honcho Bhushan Kumar (I am stressing on this fact, because it's very important), brings her second film to us this Valentine's week, after her ugh debut in Yaariyaan (which was a hit for some reason… When will people learn?). Sanam Re stars Pulkit Samrat, Yami Gautam and Urvashi Rautela in the lead roles. Let's see if this film can be that perfect Valentine getaway…okay, who am I kidding? Its not!!! WHAT's GOOD:- Here I begin the most difficult part of my job….finding tiny diamonds in a messy coal mine! And the movie definitely doesn't make my task easier, as there is very little to scourge. Well, since this section exists in the review…I have to add something here, so let's say that the most likable part of the movie was Rishi Kapoor in a cameo (though he surely is a creepy grandpa, when he is shown hungrily at the torn poster of the bikini clad lady with his 8 year old something grandson… And he is wasted too!). The locales used are breathtaking and the ladies are hot (Urvashi) and cute (Yami). Girls will find Pulkit getting shirtless a few times, if that's your thing! The songs are pleasant to hear. WHAT's BAD:- If I came out of the screening and don't remember a single thing about the plot, either I am suffering from Alzheimer's or the plot sucks. But I would rather bet on the latter. The movie is a tackily made potpourri of clichéd scenes, boring melodrama, repetitive scenes (the 500 kadam scene is one hell of a sleeping tablet) and inexplicable character arcs, that's gorgeous to look at but empty within. For a love story, it neither lets us sympathise with the characters and their predicament, thanks to a badly written script. Akash is a a-hole of a character, who ditches his childhood friend for better prospects, then ditches the girl he just seduced for a contract (because hot divorcees are meant to be ditched… And this film is directed by a woman!) for that same friend and then again leaves that friend cos she is dying. Yes, that's the hero of the film. Five minutes into the film, and we see the director gyrating to a badly choreographed song, replete with fake shark fins and a fake Yo Yo Honey Singh as well. In fact all the songs are badly choreographed. The films lifts up several plot lines right from DDLJ, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Serendipity, and for some reason…Katti Batti as well! The film also tries comedy, but if a usually funny Bharti Singh can't make you laugh, something definitely went wrong somewhere. Also, the director is not sure in which era to place her film. Akash is seen donning a bad '70s wig in his teens, but in his adult years, we see someone using whatsapp and Skype. Yet, he doesn't think of tracing Shruti through a simple tool they call Facebook. Shruti is a weird heroine as well, one moment she romances Akash, despite he being with another girl, and the next moment, she leaves him so that fate could reunite them. As for the acting, Pulkit still tries to exorcise the ghosts of his mentor's acting (you know whom I am talking about) and even replicates his spectacled look from Ready (now you definitely know who I am talking about!). But he lacks none of his mentor's charms. Urvashi's only job is to look hot (good job at that, girl), wear bikinis and lots of make-up and also pose backless. Yami has to look pretty and cry a lot in the second half. Speaking of the second half, I couldn't make a hell of what's happening there. Too many songs, random scenes, disappearing characters, and a WTF climax! I could crib and crib more and more…but I believe u got the gist! What to do:- Watch this film only if your intention is to break up with your partner on the most romantic day of the year! Sanam Re is a yawn-fest from the start. Kudos to you if you survive the entire film. Watch or Not?: Not! This is a film that you would want to miss even on the Television let alone theaters.
