My Gut Feel and comments:

As go by promos Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani seems to be a vibrant movie with Ranbir and Deepika looking great together. I am impressed with the journey of Ayan Mukherjee till date as film maker who has done decent job on his directorial debut film with Wake up Sid.

To be very up front I am not expecting it to be a classic flawless venture however still with sincere Ranbir and Deepika around with good supporting cast and prominent director with youth appealing storyline, I am optimistic about this movie and my gut feel says it would be decent entertainer.

With big budget movies there is always a risk associated as stakes are high and recovering the money for producers, distributors and exhibitors is totally depend on first two week’s performance of the movie at box office. For the first week movie works on the buzz it has created and there comes the real test when audience reactions comes out with every passing day.

All facts and figures are favoring this movie and as I go by gut feel, a thumps up for this movie and I would give this movie 3.5 stars out of 5, a weekend before its release date.
