This is only the 2nd subtitled movie I've watched from India (1st one Badhaai Do) and I'm pleasantly surprised by the tough storyline of this movie and all the actor's emotional performances to help tell the story. To be honest, the inclusion of a little song and dance in such a harsh subject movie is a bit new to me but it was still a very good movie to see even subtitled. For those that have not seen any Indian movies, go see this one. It's well done. You may want to sit up a little closer to read the subtitles easier. I will be keeping my eye out for other movies from India.

Alia just rocked it.!!! slb is a legend. Ignore useless amateur hate mongers
This movie doesn't deserve 5 stars . It's a 10 on 10 . Alia Bhatt ,Vijay raz ,Ajay Devgn everyone just shines and Excel beautifully . I have always loved Alia's growth as an actor and she is one of the best we have . Sanjay Leela Bhansali is a maestro and he prooves it again. He beautifully paints the movie .I wish the people of this country grow up and get some brain and stop spreading unnecessary hate.
