Irrfan is at a stage in life where is completely in control of his craft-confident,relaxed and willing to let his co-star flower in his shade.There is no hurriedness,Irrfan doesn’t want to drive  any point home .Despite playing a corny forty-year old single who self-styles himself as an Urdu poet  and has a lame line or a contrived joke for every moment ,he comes across as an interesting man.They meet over a dating site and then take off on a journey,ostensibly to meet his three ex-girlfriends who he thinks, still miss him.The plot does enter an  implausible territory now,but both PArvati and Irrfan are so effortless that one doesn’t mind this suspension of disbelief.
Parvati has also given a very relatable and conventionally cute performance.There are no frills,no over the top acting,just a simple everywoman from the  next door,trying to eke out a lonely existence.This is not to say it’s a perfect film,but its very watchable.
