Writing/Direction:

The reason why this movie is illogical is it starts with Simran’s character’s intelligence. She has negative IQ. First things first, if you go blind does your brain stop working? No. But maybe in the case of this movie it does. I rewatched the movie to see if she knows what he sounds like and she does in that first scene. And she does.

Let’s talk honestly

- If you disliked someone that much, wouldn’t you do everything in your power to know exactly what they look and sound like to stay away at all times? If she really hated him that much then how come she doesnt know that its him and recognize his voice. This is biggest logical flaw in the movie. Not only this movie I had same problem in Bodyguard. Now we are living in the world of AI which they used in MAD movie so it made sense but in that movie she just talks and then Venky has no idea its the same person and hes superseded to be best bodyguard in India. But he doesnt have a brain either

Basically he’s right next to her the entire movie, she knows what he sounds like but doesnt know its him. So dumb
In what town does there exist a huge medical college opposite a market and also in the scene she sees him, he literally sleeps in the middle of a traffic jam. I understand deep sleep you dont hear many sounds but really in the middle of the road with trucks and everything he doesnt hear anything?
He sings Paatiki Pallakivai and she can somehow hear him from a mile away. Does she have supersonic hearing?
He’s telling everyone on the train about his story and then suddenly they drop everything theyre doing to reunite with him
Him going to jail reason is so silly and stupid. Simple suitcase random what re the chances he gets sent to jail for that. And he spends some 7 years in jail and then in his entry scene he starts singing and entire compartment starts singing and dancing
Again she has superpowers and can hear people singing the song from a while away on a bus. She catches the bus and runs back to realize its the same guy.
