Before the release, it was being speculated by many that probably Kangna Ranaut will rescue the film with her 'bindaas character' continuing from where she left in QUEEN or TANU WEDS MANU series. But personally I was quite firm on the conclusion that its rarely an actor that can save a badly conceived film not supported by any fine writing and direction. As a matter of fact, we recently saw the same happening with Kangnaonly in her poorly made projects such as REVOLVER RANI and the ill fated I LOVE NY. Yet many were still having a lot of faith on the actress that unfortunately gets completely shattered into pieces with her latest KATTI BATTI.Directed by Nikhil Advani, who delivered another lousy film HERO just last Friday (entirely depending upon the visible support coming from its producer Salman Khan), KATTI BATTI is nothing but another of those FILLER PRODUCTS made by the big production houses as per their commitment to serve the multiplexes on a regular basis. KATTI BATTI begins on a decent note (with the Kissiyan song shot/edited well), but then suddenly shifts on to such an awful gear accompanied by a mediocre soundtrack that literally makes you ask that does Kangna really considers herself a great actress with a newly found exceptional understanding of cinema? And did Nikhil Advani actually directed KAL HO NA HO or D-DAY himself or it was Karan Johar and some other creative mind behind those much better attempts?Moreover the film also makes you strongly question many of these lesser talented new age 'star-sons-daughters-nephews and nieces' that, do they realise that whatever they have achieved till date is all because of their gifted 'surnames' and not related to any of their inherited talents? Plus have they ever thought that in what number we have much more talented people struggling their ways towards a single chance that simply gets taken away by a 'now available star-son', who certainly has a more saleable market due to his family linkage, eventually spreading a much stronger feeling of discrimination, stress and bitterness among them all.However leaving the thought here for their individual introspection standing in front of the mirror, I would specifically like to address Kangna Ranaut, who tried hard to stop the release of I LOVE NY a few weeks back as it was a 'stuck movie' lying in cans since 2012. And if the 'National award winner' actress sincerely considered KATTI BATTI a much better film than I LOVE NY, then it certainly puts a big question mark on whatever film-writing courses she had supposedly done in the recent years. Because I LOVE NY at least had some kind of novelty in its basic theme that couldn't be executed well by its director-duo.In short, revolving around the same old theme of a terminally ill person sacrificing the love for all (as earlier seen in the director's KAL HO NA HO), here we have Imran Khaneffortlessly sleep walking in the entire film along with Kangna, who also turns out to be quite 'unimpressive' even in her 'bold scenes and dialogues' proving a known fact that it's the combination of a talented WRITER & DIRECTOR that makes the much appreciated reputation of an ACTOR but not the other way round.In the end, I would simply like to add that these big production houses keep serving us with the same content again and again and again, because we actually let them do so making no protests of any kind whatsoever as a paying viewer. So till we decide to show some concerning guts, this arrogant act of making such repetitive and ridiculous movies would continue as always without any major hindrance.Oh!, just forgot to mention AAMIR KHAN, the perfectionist uncle of KATTI BATTI's leading actor, who probably had helped in the film's editing too as per an 'unconfirmed' news.Who says AAMIR KHAN is not a great actor? In fact if a person can cry watching KATTI BATTI saying it really moved him a lot ...... then he surely is the greatest actor on the whole planet to say the least!

Better than Kal ho na ho..very well directed, hits the mark right. May be inspired by few movies, but its treatment of movie it counts. Khnh compare is apple to orange...it was glorified, over the top, dramatized, no budget barrier movie...so it worked well with shahrukh and songs. .this one is more real, nicely acted, directed movie. Just don't miss it, ignore bad reviews by dummies. They couldn't handle slowness of movie, which was introduced on purpose to show state of minds confusion, and mystery. Watch it, and you'll know what it will reveal. Imrans best work after gori tere pyar me..and kangana is awesome as usual. She has lesser role here if you compare queen or gangster, but she has decent role. Music is average, editing is crisp. Watch with family, and all.

Its a movie that SHOULD make you feel the actors sadness. The pain of parting with a loved ones and other such emotions. But the movie simply DID NOT build up the characters as well as it should have. The relationship wasn't built up to the moment, but was rather backtracked from a negative point in the relationship. After watching him talk about all the bad parts of the relationship for 70 % of the movie, you lose all kinds of empathy towards the actors. If you want to spend time watching a heartfelt and sad movie/show that would literally move you to tears, go watch "your lie in april". THAT is how this movie should have been made, not the way it was.

Katti Batti is like watching poor watching version of "Sweet November". Boy met girl they both fell in love and one day " snap" girl left the boy without saying anything. We have seen all these kind of stuff in many movies and we have this again. Katti Batti is extremely boring, dull and way too much dragged. Too many loopholes in plot and complete half baked story is the biggest drawback. What's good : The chemistry between Imran and Kangana looks good and carried well. Picturization of song lip to lip is done very well.. Apart from that nothing holds you to entertain. What's Bad : So many things... Sleek storyline, dull and dragging plot as I told already. Some stupid jokes which not going to make u lol.. and comic scenes are forcefully pushed between nowhere... Supporting cast seems like took for granted all they can have is address and contact number & rescuing Imran khan from another heart break... too dramatic scenes like " maa ke kangan" and pet like " Milkha" seriously..???Now main star cast.. Imran Khan... He is the main star of the movie and he tried so much to make this movie work and somehow it worked... but all we know it's not his fault. It's his choice of movies. Emotional scenes are carried nicely by him but sometimes it's not...Now kangana.. honestly the reason I saw this movie is bcoz of her and I really disappointed coz she's hardly there. After making some brilliant movies why did she drained all her versatility by doing this kind of stuff where she don't have anything to do... I really wanna ask her what she did and why??Now we have Nikhil Advani.. I think after kal ho na ho. He forget how to make a good movie. And it seems like he is giving competition to sajid khan and others like him to make more craps... so I really wanna tell him that take as much as time you want. Come with a good story and make something which makes us forget what mess he done after kal ho na...All in all Katti Batti has nothing to offer anything new.. it's just old, boring and insensible movie wrapped into old and boring love story and too much emotions that makes you nothing but yawn... don't waste Ur time or money on that..
