Not for me

There are many reasons why I dislike the movie.
First and foremost, the songs. Since my mother tongue is Hindi, I couldn't connect with the songs, and that was one of the reasons for not liking them. Another reason is that the songs were from a very old era, and I had never heard such music before, making it difficult for me to enjoy them.

Secondly, I couldn’t connect with the tragic ending or the emotional love story between the male lead and the second female lead. The main reason is that the second female lead’s actions felt unjustifiable. She was well aware that he was her friend’s boyfriend, yet she crossed boundaries, which made it impossible for me to sympathize with her character. Moreover, the male lead also acted selfishly, which added to my disappointment.

Thirdly, what the female lead does in return to teach them a lesson crosses all limits. While it’s a movie, in reality, if a girl experiences such an emotional shock—where her best friend and her lover cheat on her—there are typically two outcomes: she either completely breaks down and never recovers, or she leaves them, moves on, and becomes emotionally distant. Additionally, she would probably learn never to trust anyone blindly again.

The story confused me about which character deserved my sympathy because all of them were at fault.
The only part that slightly touched me was the last scene when the male lead writes a letter asking for forgiveness. However, his words, "I don't love you," ruined all the emotions for me. Those words felt extremely harsh for the female character reading them, and it must have been devastating for her.

Overall, watching the movie felt like a waste of time for me.
