Boy (Nikhil) meets girl (Lalitha), falls in love at first sight, girl also reciprocates etc. etc. But, the thing is it all starts during a single day together at London. Sparks fly but, they have to part ways and get on with their lives. The boy doesn't make it to New York as he had promised when they part ways. They later meet in Paris, revive the sparks but, in a moment of immature foolishness Lalitha loses her mind and they part ways yet again. Finally, New York is the scene of action and this time Nikhil nails her just as she is about to get married. All is well that ends well.
Ali Zafar overacts during the light scenes as he tries too hard to be cool. But, he rocks in the emotional scene in the climax. Aditi Rao Hydari is the best around now. My God, what a woman. Such big, vulnerable eyes. It freaks you out. These two can sing as well. Ali has in fact composed the music and written the lyrics as well. The songs are awesome, each one of them.
The production is rich and glossy, on the whole. Nice locations as the title so obviously proclaims. Can't fathom the x-factor that prevented this movie from succeeding.
VERDICT: A sad case of a well made romance failing to please the target audience.
