Love triangles are not terribly original. You can't figure whether the director wants him to be the bad guy or not. His character keeps shuffling between bad guy and victim too many times. Which is why Emraan's performance instantly touches you. We are given plenty of back story and character development for Emraan Hashmi's Aarav though. Yet, despite all the handicaps Vidya shows great skill and courage in playing a woman constantly suffering in love. Her story goes all over the place and yet you are never given enough reason for her submissive nature. But she's sinking her teeth into a character that's flawed. Vidya Balan as Vasudha is flawless in her effort. The mediocre storytelling does a huge disservice to the cast. Sadly, their creations are decent but not on the same level as Aashiqui 2 or Ek Villain.

Having failed in the latter, the entire onus rests on the music of Mithoon, Ami Mishra and Jeet Ganguly. Moving on, director Mohit Suri's films are known to strike a fine balance between great music and storytelling.

Yes the world is full of victims but that's true of marauders, rapists and criminals too.

Even if one considers the character's background of gross domesticity, this level of gender submission is just not done. Here we have Hindi movies like NH10, Piku and Tanu Weds Manu Returns dishing out new levels of feminism, but in HAK we have to contend with a woman who bends down to touch the feet of her lover, then going on to compare him to God.
ADHURI KAHANI HAMARI 17TH NOVEMBER 2015 MOVIE
Literally, the lines in this movie are cornier and cheesier than tacos. To make matters worse, you have some of the most juvenile dialogue on offer. And the story of a mercurial and uptight husband being the bane of a tolerant wife suffers from too much exaggeration. The story of an unhappy wife seeking solace with a lonely gentleman seems undercooked. The two distinct approaches to love, just don't gel at all. Whereas, Rajkummar Rao's character brings in a very authentic and real sense of deceit. The kind where you love someone beyond logic, time and life. It creates a fable like romance between Vidya Balan's and Emraan Hashmi's characters. Or you just drop the superfluous creativity and go with stark realism. You need to draw your audience in, into a world where you can take the liberty of being imaginative. When you want to say that lovers can dream of togetherness beyond their lifetime, you need to create the right illusion. But you don't indulge in philosophical arguments with abject stereotypes. It's like telling you that love is bigger than life and death. There's an attempt to make the story convey emotions that are mythic and ethereal.

HAK is a classic love triangle dealing with themes of misogyny, chauvinism, chivalry, fear and ultimately the transcendent nature of love. Anyone witnessing this barrage will surely feel a grave sense of frustration. Where women talk to each other in Sita and Radha allegories. Where you can foresee the next plot development from millions of miles away. Where mangalsutra is the literally the end all of a woman's existence. Where words like kainaat (universe) are overused and abused. That surreal place where the wind blows diyas when someone dies. The storytelling is so regressive that you feel you're stuck in a '70s potboiler. In an attempt to be a philosophical argument on love, it goes overboard with sentimentality and clichés. That's the unfortunate story of Hamari Adhuri Kahani (HAK). A bad movie does no favours except offering martyrdom to genuine talents. The greatest injustice in cinema is to see good actors shackled by a trite script. Cast: Vidya Balan, Emraan Hashmi and Rajkummar Rao
