Deepika Padukone and Imran Khan starrer ‘Break Ke Baad’ is a film that reminds at times of the mushy love stories that have gained immortality in Bollywood. From DDLJ to Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to the modern Love Aaj Kal, BKB has snippets from each film.
However, director Danish Aslam fails to bring any freshness into the story and ends up making a film that can be given a miss. Abhay (Imran) and Aaliya (Deepika) are childhood buddies and get into a relationship as they move towards adulthood.
But while Abhay is a guy with no immediate ‘Lakshya’, Aaliya is highly ambitious and aspires to be an actress. The duo decide to give their relationship a break after Aaliya decides to move to Australia to pursue her career.
Later on, she feels nostalgic, lonely and realizes her love towards Abhay. The story, as you can see, is not free from flaws. The switching off and switching on of a relationship hasn’t been convincingly portrayed. Though the protagonists Imran and Deepika put up a commendable performance, poor writing and mediocre direction strikes a deathblow to the film.
Music is forgettable and cinematography acceptable. One may watch this movie just for a time pass but it seriously lacks the makings of a memorable drama.
