FILM REVIEW
Confusing storyline
‘Kya Dil ne Kaha’ (Nirman and Suraj, Panchkula), a Tusshar Kapoor, Esha Deol starrer is a poor show, marred further with a confusing storyline rendering a lopsided presentation. There is freshness about the music by Himesh Reshamiya and gorgeous scenic settings in New Zealand but the audience need a mouthful of performing art recipes to suit the taste buds of the heart and the head, as well, apart from the pleasure to ears and eyes.
