Watch Socha Na Tha For Free

You won't be disappointed!

Sadly Over-hyped

Load of rubbish!!

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This movie was on my radar since I watched Jab We Met and Rockstar. Imtiaz Ali is coming of age director for Bollywood and he has guts to change the perspective of Bollywood films. Imtiaz Ali's first venture Socha Na Tha is an old wine in a new bottle but it's guaranteed that bottle is quite new with a new comer brand of wine inside. Well, the flavor might taste likewise but it's fragrance and presentation are quite delicious. Story was much similar to that concept of Triangular Love Story. But its premise, screenplay are a complete fun to watch. This movie discusses two major topics. Misconception of arranged marriage and love marriage. Another, tackling power of youths in these kind of situations. It asks the youth that are they really capable of inviting their different stage of life i.e. marriage? Are they satisfied with the life they lived till now with their parents supporting them? Would they be able to tackle lifestyle with one more person in their family as their spouse? Another major thing is, do the youths really know what kind of partner they want? Or can they really find someone themselves the perfect choice for their whole life? Also, if they have been in relationship, are they ready to take that relation further for many years ahead? Or would they get diverted to another one due to their capricious hearts? The plus points are there're no dull moments in the film. Film is a roller-coaster ride and it's a real treat to watch various scenes in it. Movie might get emotional at times but this one doesn't tend to stick to the scenes for longer time. Repetitive premises are poor to handle sometimes but it's the performances of characters that lead the film in an adventurous direction. The confusion in the characters' mind is well captured that it sounds almost next to real life incidents. Abhay Deol and Ayesha Takia both are a treat to watch. Go watch it if you're a Rockstar fan.

I watched this movie for the first time in mid 2008. When I first watched it, it took me 3 to 4 days to come out of the movie. The characters were so cute, especially Ayesha Takia and Abhay deol. I became a fan of both from the day onwards. In the same month I had watched the movie minimum 10 times, I liked it so much..Even after 5 long years, the movie entertains me the same way it did in first time. The scene in which Aditi(Ayesha Takia) hugs Viren(Abhay Deol) in the title song, is the most romantic moment in the movie.This is one of those unluckiest movies in bollywood, which did not get the success it deserved, may be due to lack of star cast. But in my views, Abhay and Ayesha has depicted the characters so simply and nicely that u will surely fall in love with the movie..

Going by my experiences with the movies which I have seen in a theatre, this movie was not at all what I expected it to be.I would say, this movie brought a breath of fresh air, to Bollywood, just like QSQT brought in 90s and DCH in 20th century.This movie is a tale about a boy and girl, who first meet each other in typical arranged marriage meet, but decide not to go ahead. This leads to enemity between the two families, and later fall in love with each other.Sounds like typical Salman Khan, Govinda, Karishma, Ravinda Tandon kind of masala movie?? Wrong. Even though the plot looks the same, the characters are much more realistic, decent and believable. On top of that, rather than looking like a vulgar drama, looks much closer to you.In short a must watch! Interestingly, at first I thought I was the only one who found this movie entertaining. Going by the reviews, I feel pleasantly relieved that I am not alone.

Most of the story writers and directors in Bollywood has either never fallen in love or has not the least idea what love is and how love 'happens'! This movie is sweet break from the usual Indian love cliché. the characters, Viren and Aditi had no idea when and how it happened to them. They fall in love and never realized it! Ayesha Takia has given an wonderful performance very subtle yet powerful. The twisting of the pencil, the sweet realization of being in love, looking worried when Viren after the confession climbs down the balcony and for a moment is not seen and the relief when he waves to her are some of the little details enacted so perfectly.There is no melodrama, no usual flowery language that haunts Hindi movies.Ayesha Takaia should not waste herself in insipid movies,and be selective for roles like this where she can justify her capability.And as for the director, we would like to see more of his work !
