With stars like Vidya Balan, Emraan Hashmi and Rajkummar Rao, we can't have much doubt about the performances. Vidya Balan portrays the role of a traditional woman to the core while, Emraan carries the attitude of a successful man pretty well. Rajkummar Rao also was impressive as a psycho husband.

Hamari Adhuri Kahani Negatives:

The film has a nice plot and the performances are also impressive. The movie starts on a tragic note and continues similarly all through the movie. At one point you might feel that the movie is too tragic and contains too many cliched dialogues.

There are certain scenes which the director might have used to interpret an inner meaning but appeared too unreal. For example, one scene shows Vidya Balan walking down a deserted road with a luggage but the road by no chance will lead to any airport or station.

Apart from the stars' performances, the film has some good songs which will connect with the audience. The movie includes some very exotic locations. First half of the film seems slow but the second half offers some momentum with the entry of Rajkummar Rao.

Hamari Adhuri Kahani Verdict:

All in all, Hamari Adhuri Kahani is one movie which will impress you for the performances but the overdose of tears might leave you bored.
