About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grounded, sometimes satirical look at chasing stardom and the compromises behind the glamour, with lots of familiar faces; Not for you if you want fast pacing or pure escapist romance like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.
Pros: insider Bollywood peek; strong ensemble performances; memorable songs | Cons: drags in middle; romance takes over; uneven tone at times
