Welcome to a new world of romance; a novel way of story-telling; a screenplay that's both original and innovative and a film that's by far, the best of the year so far.
WHAT'S NOT: The only unfinished portions in the film are the characterizations of Harleen and Vikram (played by Rahul Khanna).
Harleen's suppressed emotions work to an extent but newcomer Giselle fails to add pathos to the character. Rahul has a small but important part it's loosely sketched though and the only predictable part of the film.
Also, Rahul is surprisingly uncomfortable. In the confrontational scenes with Deepika, he exposes his limitations as an actor.u00a0u00a0u00a0
WHAT TO DO: LAK is original, funny, introspective and romantic. Don't miss it go twist.
