director Imtiaz Ali’s latest venture Jab Harry Met Sejal released on August 4. Needless to say the expectations from the film were very high and fans waited with bated breath to watch their favourite actor romance on screen again. But it seems like things did not really go as on would have hoped as the film has been receiving brickbats from both critics and the audience.

It was only recently that a man in Pune was so thoroughly bored with the film that he tweeted to External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj to ” Rescue” him. His tweet garnered a lot of attention and generated a lot of laughter. But his was not the only call of distress.

Headache “when audience met harry”

There are several on social media who, after watching the film, have been tweeting their reactions and each is funnier than the previous. While some said that the film is so bad “that you cannot even blame nepotism for it”, others blatantly said that the film is a fitting example of when Imtiaz Ali “lost the script”

it’s not even a typical Imtiaz Ali film. Where is that self realization of the characters who want to run away from the burden of love?

The slow build-up provides Shah Rukh Khan sufficient time to showcase his typical ‘loverboy’ skills. He keeps on switching his expressions between “I am angry till you say something cute” and “Tum nahi jaanti Sejal, kuch kuch hota hai”

Shah Rukh Khan gets our hopes high in the beginning when we witness dimensions of his character, but that eventful moment doesn’t last long and he gets back to playing to the gallery. He makes sure nobody misses those folded hands and slightly slanted forehead. Talk about the burden of being a superstar!
