So I've seen this film so many times, I don't watch Hindi films I am British born and I'm a student and live in England and I only tend to watch English films but I heard a song from the film (hasi) and fell in love with it so I decided to watch the film. It is honestly amazing I cant even describe how good it is, I think Emraan did so well I fell in love with his character and him. The film is AMAZING a sold 10/10 for me! Don't listen to the critics. As well as the film all the songs are really good an touching I honestly don't know what some of it means but the calming voices just say it all. Vidya Balan was equally as impressive as Emraan. Emraan Hashmi did so well his acting was on another level!

Why Vidya why?? what made you choose Hamaari Adhuri Kahani..... This movie tries to show how intense love can be...n goes over the top....the dialogues are ridiculously insane.....n at times turn hilarious....god damn!!! who speaks that way!!! HAK lacks logic....its saturated with melodrama....its sad....over the top emotional....the film has a decent story-line but,it needed to be executed well!!! the meaningless dialogues n logic-less screenplay eat the essence of the story .....This Mohit Suri movie doesn't quite hit the right note....I think he just wanted to prove that Aashiqui2 n Ek villain were better movies....talented actors were totally wasted in this movie......The only good thing about this movie apart from the songs was......well! ...The End!!!!....

From the ancient time period, our society has been male dominated where a wife is considered not more than a private property of his husband. Still the values haven't changed much and women are still tormented, beaten by their husbands. Such stories patronizing womanhood have been common in '80s social dramas. Story-wise the film looks a bit dated, but a tight script, nice dialogues, and a good performance from Vidya Valan makes "Hamari Adhuri Kahani" gripping. In other words, the film gets a modern treatment to an old story through beautiful sets and nice visuals. Emraan Hashmi as a business tycoon was a miscast whereas Rajkumar Rao attracts through his presence. A weakness persisting in the story was the inadequate elaboration of the dominance of the husband and retaliation of the wife , which was the main theme of the film. Instead, the romance between Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Valan gets most of the footage. However, few melodramatic sequences and a tragic end of the film do touch you at times for which the film is likable.Rating: 2 stars out of 4

Being an avid English movie viewer, I was rather a pessimist to watch this movie.What started out as a lazy couch potato movie turned out to be one of the most loved movies by me. I never expected that love could be shown in such beautiful ways.The manner in which the male protagonist has portrayed the emotions and the feel of it is unexplainable. The way in which the director has captured the essence of emotions is truly remarkable.I would truly recommend this movie a watch.If you really want to fall in love again this is the movie you should watch.Vidya does a fantastic job with her portrayal of sadness and love. i could relate to the pain in Emran's eyes.It was too good to be true.
