I was having a lot of expectations from the movie, as this was AR Rahman's movie. It might have not met all my expectations but though it was a decent watch.
The movie plot revolves around Jai(Ehan Bhat) who has only two priority, Music and his love Sophie. His girlfriend's rich father Sanjay Singhania(Ranjit Barot) challenges him to compose 100 songs and only after then he is allowed to marry Sophie. Jai with hi friend sets out on a journey to Shillong to write songs but he gets attracted to a Jazz singer Sheela(Lisa Ray) and then a betryal and an accident changes Jai life.
The movie primary focus should be on music and here AR Rahman has done a really good job by providing good music in abundance, be it a Jazz song or a classical note. But somehow I personally feel the music does not connected with the story that well.
Maybe the story was a little complex. There were so many things going on with story, the visual treatments, the dark side of the story, but it was all not very convincing. The writing could have been much better. Director Vishwesh Krishnamoorthy tried to tell the story in a sensitive way but not succeeded.
Expectations were there from a musical genius like Rahman, he impressed also but only in couple of songs. Overall music was good but not what one would expect from Rahman.
Ehan Bhat looks good and tries his best to give an honest performance. For the most part of the movie he really delivers a good performance. Edilsy Vargas looked decent and delivered a nice performance.
Overall, Rahman could have added some more quality songs. Though couple of songs in the movie are actually nice but there isn't any song which will be with you for a long time.
