I Me aur Main

With a not-so-catchy title, a debutant director at the helm of affairs, not so encouraging promos showing the hero as man-child; the film hasn’t created much of excitement around it. There are no big expectations from the film and guess what, it lives up to that!!

It’s a story of an uber cool urban guy who is shying away from the vows and commitments. He is selfish, arrogant, and immature and wants to live life his way. He breaks up with his girlfriend who he has impregnated, loses his job and doesn’t have the sympathy of his own sister. But he is least bothered, goes on to woo other girls and makes one more girlfriend who he is now happy and serious with. Will he remain like this or mend his ways and which girlfriend would he finally settle with makes up for the rest of the story.

While this wafer thin story looks bearable on paper, its treatment in the film isn’t. Except for few light moments in the first half, there is nothing in the film that holds your interest. The characters are written badly and they come across behaving weirdly, for instance, John Abraham refusing to pay the money to the milkman of his live-in girlfriend’s house because he doesn’t drink milk! The film is full of such absolute silly scenes. The love angles are so confused about who loves whom and why that you stop bothering about all the characters after few minutes. And the climax in trying to be different and unconventional is so idiotic that you will have to see it to believe it!

In terms of performances, John Abraham looks good but is hardly convincing portraying this embarrassingly written confused character. Chitrangada Singh looks stunning as always though she hardly emotes in this one and Prachi Desai is just about ok. Music is nothing to write home about.

It has running time of just about an hour and three quarters but even this short duration makes it a long, boring and tiring watch. Cinema Analyst's Take – Below average. It’s a non-sense of a film and my list for worst films of the year 2013 starts with this one.
