It was an unexpectedly good movie! Didn't realize how the hours went by (It is over 2 hours long). Abhay and Ayesha were raw but into character. The story was light heart-ed and engaging. Definitely worth a watch.. You won't realize how sneakily this movie makes a special place in your heart and will make you want to re-watch it even years later.

A near perfect debut from Imtiaz Ali. Socha Na Tha is a tale of perfectly timed dialogs in the most practical way and are so natural to relate with our personal experiences in relationships. A refreshing blend of faces with Ayesha Takiya and the débutant Abhay Deol also helps the course of the movie because they have no stereotypes when it comes to role play. The acting part could have been improved just a lil bit, it looks a bit unpolished at times but overall a total worth watch! Seriously, this is how crazy, stupid and cute love is! The runaway bride scene at the end of the movie is hilarious and sooooo lovable :)

This is one of those movies which I never get tired of watching over and over again. I fell in love with the characters of the movie and the story just like that. Viren(the lead character) is someone, a typical guy can relate himself to. Ayesha looks as lovely as she could be. Abhay Deol shows a lot of promise in this debut movie with his natural acting and comic sense. The director Imtiyaz Ali has done a great job. The songs goes well with the situation. Easily, this movie will have you satisfied with entertainment and a few good laughs. If you love romantic movies with unusual twists and fun, this is definitely a movie to watch. Worth your time. 10/10.

This is one of those flicks which plummets at theaters and then hits home with the viewers on DVD. Although that might be because the flick has a very understated urban appeal to it. One can imagine the movie would have been an unwatchable headache generator if it had cast the Govindas and Kareenas of the world and had been made with a high hand of melodrama. Instead, Miss Takia makes us all fall in love with her, Mr Deol included, by just twisting the pencil and being herself. Abhay puts forth a honest performance and the director truly takes us through a breezy ride, pleasant as a walk through the jungle on a windy morning. Buy a barca lounger, uncork the wine, get cozy and enjoy!
