It is for the reasons stated above that the audience doesn’t root for Akash and Kiara to remain together all their lives. Watch: ‘Anjaana Anjaani’ Movie Title Song Are suicides so common that you bump into people wanting to end their life exactly when you want to end yours? Kiara guzzling down bottles of beer and other alcoholic drinks will also not be taken too kindly by the viewers. It could probably have something to do with the way in which Akash and Kiara meet – they both have come to the same spot to do the same thing, commit suicide. Yet another drawback of the drama is that it is too stretched, slow and boring and looks contrived rather than believable. Likewise, while some of the light moments are interesting, the others are too childish to be enjoyed by the audience. This makes the viewer wonder if Akash is a robot who has been programmed to live for some days more or he is a human being who is keen to end his life and yet doesn’t want to die, if one may say so.Įven the journeys they undertake and the adventures they get into aren’t so enjoyable or entertaining that the audience would love for them to be a part of them. The writers would have the audience believe that he yells for assistance because he has a pact with Kiara, a complete stranger, to live till 31st December. Soon, he starts screaming that he doesn’t know how to swim, prompting Kiara (who is also in the waters) to help him and prompting the audience to wonder why someone so keen on ending his life would scream for help when he has landed in a sure death trap. While enjoying life with Kiara, he jumps into the ocean although he doesn’t know swimming. Again, he gets into an understanding with Kiara to live life to the fullest for some days. He seems to be a supremely over-confident kid in the first scene so that his attempt at taking his own life after a business loss doesn’t ring true at all. On his part, Akash also comes across as an idiot. Sorry, the youngsters of today (the target audience of the film) will not be as patient with Kiara as Akash is. She wants to commit suicide, then doesn’t mind living for some days before dying, then attempts suicide again, then wants to go back to Kunal who, in the first place, drove her to attempting suicide, then wonders whether he is the right choice for her…. Kiara comes across as a perpetually confused girl who is a far cry from young girls of today, who know to take charge of their lives.

Firstly, the scenes are often so childish that it gives the impression that suicide or death is being trivialised. Advaita Kala and Siddharth Anand’s screenplay is tedious and uninspiring. Mamta Anand’s story is hugely inspired by the 2007 Hollywood film, The Bucket List in which two terminally ill men escape from a cancer ward and head off on a road trip with a wish list of to-dos before they die. But they are in denial of their love for each other. Kiara returns to Kunal, and Akash to his group of business partners. But before 31st December, they decide to part ways just the way they had met – as strangers. The two set out on adventurous journeys together as they are counting their last few days. Akash, of course, had lost millions of dollars in business and so, he had thought of killing himself. Unable to bear the humiliation, Kiara had wanted to end her life. It turns out that Kiara had been cheated by Kunal (Zayed Khan) days before the two were to get married to each other. They then decide to live their lives to the fullest for some days before finally committing suicide on 31st December.įrom here on begins the fun journey of Akash and Kiara who now have a few days to live.
