A movie with little different plot than usual Bollywood movies. It is produced by Dharma Productions (Karan Johar) and Excel Entertainment (Farhan Akhtar & Ritesh Sidhwani), Directed by Nitya Mehra as her debut film in Hindi Cinema. As a director she did a fantastic job as the direction and screenplay was brilliantly done that when it combined with sci-fi scenes of the movie it is an awesome presentation. As shown in trailer, movie is all about a person who was too good in mathematics but not so good in living life beautifully, who had a challenge with destiny and rituals. He is stuck into an equation of time where within four nights he traveled into future from his 20’s to 60’s age. Where he realized the importance of family, happiness, being social etc. and he got a chance to see the consequence of the life if he choose his current ways of living in the early age. He solved the equation by finding out what to fix, to get it correct.
Sidharth Malhotra is the leading actor and he was outstanding in the movie. Katrina Kaif is there in the opposite lead role, she is looking amazingly beautiful but in terms of acting its again a little emotionless presentation. Ram Kapoor is there in the movie as father of Katrina, but I guess he is not been used much as according to his capabilities. Well, movie will really give some goose bumps when Sidhart Malhotra really found out the way of living and the actual sense of happiness. It is giving a message to society that chasing your dreams is good but don’t forget to grab your own people while running behind the success.
Other than this there are few bunch of actors like Rajit Kapur, Rohan Joshi from AIB, Sayani gupta in supporting roles. Movie is as colourful as a Bollywood movie use to with marriage songs, beautiful sets and mesmerizing songs like Sau Aasman and Teri Khair Mangdi.
Overall, it is a nice watch to realize the value of life.

Brilliant and outstanding performance by Hrithik Roshan, this guy is setting up a different standard film by film. He is so much into the character that, nowhere you will get a feel that he is the same guy who lives in our time period. The beautiful Pooja Hegde looking gorgeous with kind of costume specially designed with lot of research. Kabir Bedi is there in the negative role, I must say he nailed it with such a rock solid performance. Arunoday Singh with his massive personality added up the evil part of the movie. Other cast is full of talented bunch of actors like Suhasini Mulay, Nitish Bhardwaj, Manish Choudhary and the list goes on.

Tilotama Shome is playing the role of Budhia’s mother. Technically movie is little slow around interval, audience was expecting a thrilling end at climax but as it was biopic and thus, nothing can be shown so much dramatically, so it is ignorable. The important thing is that we should not forget Budhia Singh and should support him for his career. As per late Mr. Branchi Das, Budhia is the person who can bring a gold medal for India in Olympics. He was keen to participate Budhia in 2016 Olympics but unfortunately it didn’t happen. Hoping this movie will lighten up the carrier of Budhia and he can bring back his glory and power for running marathons like before.
