This movie is such a massive waste of wonderful location, budget, casts and most importantly the very beautiful title track "sanam re". This song definitely deserved a thousand time better story line to be meaningfully understood. They basically stretched 2 min story line in 2 hours for absolutely nothing. Not a single character is developed properly as well.
... View MoreDoubt is rather unfairly maligned; It may be true that it has killed more dreams than failure ever will, but sometimes, a tactfully timed doubt can be used to end an embarrassingly bad dream before it gets out of hand. Let's take Divya Khosla Kumar's second directorial feature, Sanam Re, as an example. If the director or the producers – T-Series' Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar – had listened to any doubts they may have had during the making of this film, we might have been spared yet another ill-conceived love story. Unfortunately, they didn't and as a result, Sanam Re exists. The alleged plot of the film is incoherent, cliché-ridden and was probably written by the children who appear in the intermittent flashbacks. The movie begins with Akash (Pulkit Samrat) who is too busy struggling up the corporate ladder to find time for love or even answer his mother's phone calls. Even as he allows his obnoxious boss (a hammy Manoj Joshi) to bully him, he can't escape the life that he has left behind in Tanakpur, a place, where no matter what time of the year it is, the CGI snow keeps falling. When Akash is called home to help sell off the derelict photo studio that once belonged to his ailing grandfather (a bewigged, bespectacled Rishi Kapoor), we are helpfully given some glimpses into the past so that the director can drive home the point of the film – which is that no matter how hard you try, you can't escape love. Or something like that. We also discover that Akash once had a childhood sweetheart Shruti (Yami Gautam) who he gave up in his search for material success.
... View MoreI was having a lot of expectation but seriously once again Divya proved that she can't make a good sensible movie. This movie is just an another piece of sh*t after Yaariyan. I would suggest to go watch Sanam Teri Kasam instead of Sanam Re. Sanam Teri Kasam is much much better than this sh*t. Totally wasted talents like Yami and Urvashi. I seriously thought that YAARIAN was the worst movie I saw but that was actually better. Only good thing about this movie is its music. Please stop embarrassing yourself by making movies like this. Please don't direct anything else Divya. You have money that does't mean you will torture us. Watch or Not?: Not! This is a film that you would want to miss even on the Television let alone theaters.

Sameer Arya's camera-work makes the stunning locations a veritable eye treat. The beautiful mountains, breathtaking lakes, virgin sea beaches, you shall see some of the best locations displayed in a movie in the recent times.Chartbuster Music is the best highlight of SANAM RE. Each and every song is simply outstanding. And Divya has picturized the songs with a clean heart and humungous romance. 'Sanam Re', 'Hua Hai Aaj Pehli Baar', 'Ghazab Ka Hai Ye Din', 'Kya Tujhe Ab Dil Ye Bataaye', 'Tere Liye' and 'Tum Bin' are great tracks and add dollops of romance and passion during the Valentine's season. 'Humne Pee Rakhi Hai' is a rocking dance number which is made special by the crafty dance moves of the hot and happening Divya Khosla Kumar herself.
