Katti Batti tries to literally adapt one such story and on the way goes on to define absurdity. Love stories often don't work when the people involved in them are ignorant as heck. A stereotypical act! On the whole, 'Katti Batti' works in bits, not entirely. Performance-Wise: Imran Khan puts up a sincere act as the heartbroken lover-boy, although he impresses only in some scenes.
Music by Shankar Ehsaan Loy is melodious. The second-hour needed to be better! Nikhil Advani's Direction is ordinary. Anshul Singhal's Screenplay is decent, but only in parts. In short, the first-hour works, but the second-hour spoils the fun. Also, the emotional manipulation in the final-act, doesn't work. The narrative loses energy & the pace drops drastically. Its a bit interesting to see the heartbroken protagonist struggle to find his love back & the flashbacks on how the boy & girl met, have a niceness to it. 'Katti Batti' has a lively first-hour, where some sequences bring a smile on your face. Though the idea is great, the execution is uneven! 'Katti Batti' is a romantic comedy that follows Maddy (Imran Khan) and Payal's (Kangana Ranaut) live-in relationship until a sudden turn of events creates a distance between them. Inspired by the Hollywood Cult Classic 500 Days of Summer, 'Katti Batti' tries hard to adapt the soul of its inspiration, but what is eventually served is a merely average film.
