About Katti Batti<\/h2>\n

After delivering one of the biggest hit Tanu Weds Manu Returns<\/em>, Queen Kangana has come up with her next flick. Imran Khan, who is still struggling for success even after spending 7 years in Bollywood, is back on screen after 2 years (as his last release was in 2013). Katti Batti<\/em> is directed by Nikhil Advani which is his consecutive release after Hero.<\/em> Kangana and Imran have shared the screen for the very first time and that too in a romantic comedy. Let\u2019s find out if they have been able to rock the show or not?<\/p>\n

Plot<\/h3>\n

\u2018Love, live-in relationship, break-up and heart break\u2019, these words forms the crux of the plot of Katti Batti<\/em>. The movie is a modern day love story wherein young architect Madhav Kabra aka Maddy (Imran Khan) and a carefree girl Payal (Kangana Ranaut) fall for each other, get into a live-in relationship and stay together for 5 years. But, due to sudden turn of events Payal leaves Maddy, which leaves him shattered. How Maddy deals with his heartache and will he able to get Payal back in his life is what Katti Batti <\/em>is all about.<\/em><\/p>\n

Performances<\/h3>\n

These days, when we know there is Kangana Ranaut in a movie, we surely expect a lot! After giving a power pack performance in Tanu Weds Manu Returns\u00a0<\/em>and winning the national award for Queen, <\/em>this is not what is expected from Kangana. There are no flaws in her acting; no doubt she is one of the finest actresses of Bollywood! What is disappointing is the fact that why did she even sign for a movie like Katti Batti?<\/em> Although, she is the heroine of the movie but is not much seen on screen.<\/p>\n

You will see Imran in almost all scenes in the movie. Imran has performed fairly well but he looked no different like his other movies \u2013 Break ke Baad and Gori Tere Pyaar Mein. <\/em>\u00a0He has looked intense in some scenes but it seems his struggling days are not over yet! Not with Katti Batti<\/em> at least! Even, pairing with Kangana would not be able to save his grace and get him a hit in Bollywood.<\/p>\n

The biggest disappointment has come from director Nikhil Advani. How could he deliver two loose plots consecutively? \u2013 Last week Hero<\/em> and now Katti Batti. <\/em>The script, the dialogues, the plot, the characters are so loosely written and presented that they all together make Hero<\/em> look much better than Katti Batti<\/em>.With a top actress and a struggling actor, Nikhil looked confused as what to deliver on screen?<\/p>\n

Cinematography by Tushar Kapoor is the only solace for the audience.<\/p>\n

Katti Batti Music<\/h3>\n

There is not much to talk about the music. There are six songs in the album all composed by Shankar Ehsaan Loy. \u2018Sarfira\u2019 by Siddarth Mahadevan and Neeti Mohan, and \u2018Lip to Lip\u2019 by Nikhil D\u2019Souza and Ritu Pathak are bit peppy and are on the charts. \u2018Ove Jaaniye\u2019 by Sayani Palit and Mohan Kannan is in two modes \u2013 normal and reprise. Overall the music is not remarkable.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Good?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Both Kangana and Imran have done fairly well. Although both have shared screen for the first time together, but the chemistry between the two is one of the only good things about the movie. The musical Sufi group whom Maddy meets in Delhi, FOSLA (Frustrated One Sided Lovers Association) does bring little humour to the movie with their songs. For instance one of their songs that make one laugh is:<\/p>\n

\u2018Pyar karne waale, jala de lungi.<\/em><\/p>\n

Love ki baj gayi pungi.\u2019\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

What\u2019s Bad?<\/h3>\n

Almost everything! Loose plot, shattered script, choppy direction- everything makes you yawn. Moreover, there is no newness in the structure, characterisation or story of the movie. It is basically a mixed bowl of salad whose ingredients have been taken from other Bollywood flicks.<\/p>\n

Verdict:<\/strong>\u00a0 Some parts of the movie are watchable, otherwise it is passable. Watch it if you are a Kangana fan or if you want to see a mockery on love and relationships!<\/p>\n

Katti Batti Rating:<\/strong>\u00a0*1\/2<\/p>\n
