Prabal Panjabi & Narendra Jha are adequate. Rajkumar Rao has a small role, but he leaves a mark as the hard-to-love husband. He is mature, subdued & absolutely perfect as the sympathetic hero. Emraan Hashmi is brilliant & also the scene-stealer. Though her character is regressive, Balan makes her believable, despite the Script's loopholes. Performance-Wise: Vidya Balan is earnest in her portrayal of a women torn between a broken marriage & a relationship she can't accept due to her morales. Raju Singh's Background Score is excellent, as well. Mithoon, Jeet Ganguly & Ami Mishra's Songs are wonderful. The Writing isn't bad, but it could've been stronger & more convincing. The culmination, especially, doesn't work.
While the first-hour moves a slow-pace, the second-hour slips into full on tragedy mode. Mahesh Bhatt & Shagufta Rafiq's Screenplay is impressive in parts, but lags otherwise. No, this isn't a depressing story, but at its heart, its an incomplete love saga about 2 people who just can't be one. The main characters are finely written, but they are so sad beneath, that after a point, you're exhausted. 'Hamari Adhuri Kahaani' is a tragedy & hence the film mostly deals with the downs of life. Its flawed, but not without its pluses! 'Hamari Adhuri Kahaani' Synopsis: Five years after the mysterious disappearance of her husband, a woman becomes romantically involved with a wealthy hotelier and together they confront her past.
Mohit Suri's 'Hamari Adhuri Kahaani' is An Inconsistent, Yet Watchable Tragic Love-Story! Its brooding with sadness & although its never entirely convincing, this story still has a few moments, that evoke a certain emotion within you.
