It grossed almost 7times of its budget and even get critical appreciation from everywhere.

                                                         I don’t usually prefer romantic movies, so maybe that’s why I felt many Indian movies elements in it (especially when the hero gets a positive reply from heroine, there starts a story where he dance with all he strangers). But it’s really a good movie for all the couples to enjoy their romantic date.
