Ek deewana tha , in a nut shell is a remake of the Tamil movie  Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya; a narration of the boys love story(Sachin) who is directing a movie based on his love life; Sachin is from a middle class Brahmin family, a mechanical engineering student and a movie buff. He falls in love with this Owners daughter who is a mallu Christian (Jessie), from an orthodox family and is an year elder to him.. Typical love story from the past huh!!  Though the movie was a hit in regional language, I doubt it would be the same with the hindi version

Well,  the biggest flaw in the movie is the script and the way it portrays the emotions of the girl who is clueless of her feelings for the guy. Which instantly made me to think, the title of the movie should have been “ek bechaara tha”…? The songs of the movie are also average, with only Hosanna being kind of catch. Rest of the songs are just accommodated in the movie for the sake of it and do not have link to the story… The twist in the story that the climax brings leaves the viewers surprised or rather confused for a moment.

Having said that, credit has to be given to the costume designer of Jessie – Amy Jackson… she looks  pretty in the indian attire and carries herself well in the movie; atleast with her smile and saree look.. if not for anything, she will keep you glued to your seat in the theaters..

Rating : 3 / 5; I’m being a bit generous here only because I loved the looks of Amy Jackson in the movie.

if you are not doing anything on a weekend and just want to watch a movie for the heck of it, then this is the movie for you!! Well there are no other good movies playing too
