what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

To make a movie on reincarnation is a risky job for a screenwriter because it mostly fails. Raabta is a classic example to the aforementioned. Weak story-line, substandard acting, awful costumes & make up. Also the limited color palette used to portray the past life does not set the mood. It reflects less research made by the Color Consultant/Cinematographer. In my opinion, "Valley of Flowers" is the best Indian reincarnation movie so far.

1. SUMMARY: RAABTA tells the story of two lovers Shiv (Sushant Singh Rajput) and Saira (Kriti Sanon) who live in Budapest. Once they both go to a party where Saira meets Zakir (Jim Sarbh), a wealthy liquor baron. Later, Shiv tells Saira that he has to leave for Vienna for a week. Saira becomes all alone and now befriends Zakir. Zakir takes her to a party and gets her fainted. He takes her to his house and tells her that 100 years ago, they were lovers but did not unite. Eventually, Saira also realizes the fact that she is also reincarnated. Now what happens next, will Saira marry Zakir and leave Shiv? or will she betray Zakir and stay with Shiv?2. STORY, SCREENPLAY AND DIALOGUES: Story, screenplay and dialogues seem to be good in the first half of the film but becomes a big disaster in the second half for the audience. Overall writers, Siddharth-Garima can to much better than this.3.PERFORMANCES: Sushant and Kriti's performance in the film was mediocre whereas Jim's acting deserves good appreciation.4. DIRECTION AND OTHER TECHNICAL ASPECTS: After producing a few films, Dinesh Vijan has made his directorial debut. His narrative style in this film is not bad, but he has an ability to make a film better than this. Music by JAM8 and Background score by Sachin-Jigar is really amazing, Cinematography by Martin Preiss and Editing by A. Sreekar Prasad and Huzefa Lokhandwala is reasonably good.5. BOX - OFFICE VERDICT: Raabta has a total budget of 50 crore which seems to be impossible for the film to be a Box-Office "Hit", but has a few chances to recover's cost. Overall, this film is not at all profitable for the distributors but can recover their budget by satellite and various other rights.6. RATING: Because of the film's weak script and poor hype, I'll give it 1.5/4.

Personally, I feel that we are now way past a stage in Bollywood, to rely on scripts dealing with 'punar janam' unless, there's something really unseen in it. Raabta comes across as a mishmash of a contemporary love story that suddenly changes to an unlikely twist of Game Of Thrones. While the makers try hard to change the whole angle of Rajamouli's Magadheera, it doesn't really get any better. The only saviour in the movie was its Soundtrack with instant hits like Ik Vaari and Raabta sung by Arijit. There was a lack of chemistry between Sushant and Kriti and this add to the disappointment of 'Raabta'. Avoid this one and the save your money. 'Raabta' is strictly no to watch in theatre.My Rating : 2/5

This film tells the story of two seemingly ordinary individuals, going about their lives until their paths cross and they realize that they belong with one another. Unaware of a connection that was forged several hundred years ago, Shiv and Saira are inexplicably drawn to each other, and it takes them on a hysterical roller-coaster of love, intrigue, entertainment and life (twice over!).
