'Yeh Jawaani Hai Ghissi Pitti', 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Puraani', 'Yeh
Jawaani Nahi, Bachpanaa Hai', or 'Wake Up Sid (Hangover Version)' could
easily become alternate titles for 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani'... no, let
me change that a bit - more suitable titles for Ayan Mukherjee's
sophomore effort... no, not really an effort, more an attempt at
direction.
He serves you cold soup this time and that isn't the worst part - he also serves you the same soup. With a heavy handed treatment; it feels like your college canteen's old lunch lady's made the soup. That's how lazy Ayan Mukherjee is this time - his story is trite, his dialogues are stale, his characters are hackneyed, their situations clichéd and their resolutions tiresome. This guy seriously needs to grow out of this 'follow your dreams' 'accept change' 'settle down' phase; yes, he got his chance in 'Wake Up Sid' and he fared well, but this is plain directorial lethargy.
