All of the above add to the package, of course, but they are overshadowed by the South Indian actor, Dhanush – because of him, you can even overlook the flaws and lack of logic in the screenplay.

Raanjhanaa is worth a watch, but I personally enjoy the occasional dose of melodrama (both on and off screen). If you’re entirely averse to that sort of thing, you may want to give this one a miss. If not, prepare to forgive its little loopholes in logic

An age old Tamil concept of a boy falling in love with a girl in childhood, where then he keeps on stalking her till she consents (which costs him a wrist slip and 16 slaps). Driven by pure infatuation our charming heroine Zoya ( Sonam Kapoor) does spark

The biggest problem with Raanjhanaa isn't the fact that Sonam Kapoor's evolution as an actress means she now has a sum total of three expressions.

“Raanjhnaa” tries to portray the strengths of Dhanush as an actor and in the bargain the movie loses its plot completely in the second half.

Unfortunately, Raanjhanaa never fully gets back on track. But despite these flaws, I’m recommending that you see it. Especially for Dhanush who proves that eventually looks don’t matter. Neither does size. All that towers is talent.

First love is always special in everyone’s life, so is the story of Raanjhanaa. It is the tale of a Hindu boy Kundan (Dhanush) and his journey from a 13-year-old lover to a committed young man who stays by his childhood love till his last breathe. Varanasi holds a special place in Kundan’s heart and the reason is not only his childhood days but also the city that gave him Zoya (Sonam Kapoor)
