good back-story, and good acting

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This film is magic. Right from the first second,the magic starts and it does not fade away even after hours of viewing. The script is wonderful which is beautifully engineered by director zoya akhtar. There are a lot of films out there which will inspire you to improve the quality of your life but this one is special. The music,the dialogues,the cinematography,the story,the mood,everything left me impressed. This movie is worth the time so go and watch it and i am not writing this only because i love typing.

The subject is not new: Three men on a road trip, thinking about their life choices, evolving and maturing throughout the movie, finding new goals and healing old wounds. Indian movies are not what I usually prefer. I chose to watch ZNMD because of two reasons: Hrithik Roshan, an actor I saw in KKKG and was deeply impressed with. And the plot being set in Europe. I wanted to see how much an Indian movie can catch the atmosphere so different from India.To anticipate the outcome of this review: It was a through and through positive movie experience. I will definitely watch Indian movies more often than I did until now.Before Kabir (Abhay Deol) gets married he wants to fulfill a pact he made with his two best friends, Imraan (Farhan Akhtar) and Arjun (Hrithik Roshan). Each of them will surprise the other two with some adventure sport experience they will do for the first time together. For this they travel through Spain and find not only adventures, but laughs and loves, new insights and unexpected outcomes. Director Zoya Akhtar has found a way to make a new movie out of an old theme. Charming, compelling and – thanks to the protagonists – totally believable. Among all the good performances Hrithik Roshan stands out. His change from the smart businessman to a man thinking about his life choices is intense but still with the kind of lightness and charisma that suits exactly the tone the director sets for the whole movie. Cool demeanor and vulnerability, strengths and weaknesses of his character – Hrithik Roshan portrays all the different facets with sensible acting, touching emotional involvement and a humorous streak you wouldn't expect first seeing him on the screen. Abhay Deol as the future groom has all the sympathies in his role as the balance between his two friends, but shows the complexity of his character in the course of the movie. Farhan Akhtar characterizes the free spirit of Imraan – believable and intense. He is at his best in the humorous and in the very quiet scenes of the movie. Katrina Kaif portrays a sensible woman, full of dreams yet down to earth and Kalki Koechlin shows in her scenes that she is an actress with presence and good comic timing.Outstanding of course the music and the dance scenes full of rhythm and fun. Again, it is no surprise that Hrithik Roshan – known for his great dancing skills – is the heart of these parts of the movie, though without showing off. So it is the concerted performance of all the protagonists that gives the movie its special flair. As European I have often seen Europe or parts of Europe characterized in a way that makes me slightly cringe. Not this time. Europe – more specifically Spain – is portrayed recognizable and simpatico. I have since learned that this lightness and humour on one side, the depth of content on the other side is not the norm in Hindi Movies. As the rare gem among them that ZNMD is I can only recommend to watch it as outstanding example of Indian films.A movie not only for Bollywood lovers. You will agree at the end of the film – we all should give us the chance to have new movie experiences. Because we all know: Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara – you don't live twice 😉

Omg!! This kind of movie. I mean extra ordinary. What a director Zoya is. I really can't stop watching this movie. Best performance by all the actors. Mostly I love the Farhan Akhtar character Irfan. He's perfect. Superb. Other hand I personally love Abhay Deol. And as usual he's great. He's just an amazing mind blowing actor. Katrina looks hot and ya she have done well. And the music it is just outstanding. Touches my heart. And all around the world people heart. SEL your amazing guys. We love you. I love Barcelona. Its my life goal to visit Spain once. It has 60% completed after watching this fabulous movie. Waiting for an another movie by my all time favorite listed film director Zoya Akhtar. I suggest you should watch this movie before you get die. <3

YES, this is the movie I've always wanted out of the bollywood and i'm very happy watching this one.it tells you about the untold part of the life and believe me you'll love it...the movie is about three friends, all are of their own kind. arjun, imran and kabir all had a bet about their holiday trip... the one who plans won't tell about it to others it becomes fun when they get to Spain and meet after a long time . They get some more excited(actually we) when they get to places which they are afraid of in their life and after experiencing that they realize that it was awesome. all that kind of stuff as the beautiful poems by Javed akhtar, the music that I loved a lot, the way of representation, everything about it....Don't think just watch it once....I promise You'll love it
