A Flat World

Cast: Zayed Khan,Dia Mirza,

Cyrus Sahukar,Tisca Chopra

Rating: *1/2

Relationships leading to proposals. Proposals leading to marriage. Leading to Love BreakUps Zindagi.

This film,by a brand new director and a couple of actors who’ve been on the sidelines for a while,treads familiar territory with absolutely no distinction: everywhere you turn,there are references to older,better films.

Naina (Mirza) has been dating an industrious fellow for a while,but you know right off that they are not going to end up together. He’s always working,and standing her up. She’s always trying to make excuses for him. Jai (Khan) has a girlfriend who’s constantly running him down,while he waits for “bells to ring”. Jai and Naina will meet,part,meet again,till the end.

Love BreakUps Zindagi presents characters that are flat,in situations that are flatter. One pair of mismatched lovers (Sahukar and Chopra; younger man,older woman) could have gone somewhere,given that things perk up a little when Sahukar comes on,but he gets flattened,too. Oh,and there are cameos by SRK (as himself ),Shabana (as mommy) and Boman (as daddy).
