They are new to the screen and therefore welcome in the mint-fresh scheme of things. Watch the two actresses who play the young pair's respective moms. The actors, grownup and growing, in Grewal's film are naturals. But somewhere you felt those guys were faking the cool in Ishq Vishq or even Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai. In getting the pulse of the pehla-pehla pure-pure feelings, this flick goes beyond Ken Ghosh's Ishq Vishq where too the pair's growing care developed under the campus stare. He's embarrassed by any flow of affection, thanks to the brood of jeering friends(all played by young actors who know their 'jibe'). The problems-if we can call them that-come from those familiar yet exasperating ego clashes between the callow couple. "Clean up the mess," Ruslaan's mom orders as she tucks dreamily into chocolates on the living-room sofa. Most refreshingly, the parents on both sides are supremely cool about the growing fondness between their offsprings. There's a natural progression to their friendship that's never braked by redundant drama and other hammy interventions. Neither Ruslaan Mumtaz nor Hazel strain for effect to show they're supposed to be falling in love for the first time. What you instantaneously like about the young school-going pairis that they are in character. Swerving from gritty to gooey, Robbie does a sweet a-pout turn in this gently conceived neatly assembled and sensibly executed puppy-love tale that throws up a few endearing moments and a whole lot of actors who are mush-roomed without getting schmaltzy. A few years ago Robbie Grewal made a thriller with Sushmita Sen cast as a cop and single mother tracking down a serial killer.
