She searches for him and when she finds him she met with an accident in front of Siddharth. Due to some problems Siddharth takes her to the same hospital where he was practicing and saves her life. He sends her back to India faking that he will board the flight. Meanwhile he tries to meet Priya but seeing her happy and thinking why to remind her old things he walks off. In the end he leaves to Brazil where he takes a new identity.

Positives of the Film:

The film is so stylish and is a visual treat. The angles of the shots are very different and have got a great output. Both Nithya Menon has played their part well. The locations are a plus and some of the background scores are fresh. Nothing much to say with a positive note.

Negatives of the Film:

We could keep on adding things with this portion. The main drawback is the storyline, which is too old. They could have overtaken this negative with the screenplay. But that too went in vain. There is nothing much to laugh or to cry or to feel love that too in a romantic film. There is no scene that you will remember when you are out of the film. The songs too start good but they keep dragging it that you feel bored with the song by the time it finishes. Similarly there are ultra slow motion song which they wasted applying to the whole length of the song instead of applying it in portions. Siddharth is only fit for choclate boy roles. He doesnt act at all in these emotion scenes. If you leave him to smile he keeps smiling for the whole day. He kills all of us instead of getting him killed. Warning:If you have nothing to do for the weekend, then also you better dont give it a try. If you are a robot you could just go sit and come.
