Bollywood seems to be running out of stories. We’ve seen it before and we see it again in Miley Na Miley Hum.
The film revolves around Chirag (Chirag Paswan) the only son of Siddharth (Kabir Bedi) and Shalini (Poonam Dhillon). His parents separated when he was a child due to their individual passions, tennis and business. So naturally, he grows up wanting to unite them. Meanwhile, his parents have found the girl of their choice for Chirag- the typically modern Kamiah (Sagarika Ghatge) and the equally typical Punjaban Manjeet (Neeru Bajwa), his father’s best friend’s daughter. To escape from the situation, Chirag pretends to be in love with Super Model Anishka (Kangna Ranaut) who is unaware of Chirag’s existence. Yet, Chirag manages to strike a deal with her to make her pose as his girlfriend. And the rest is pretty obvious.
Chirag Paswan is a decent find. His performance is passable considering that this is his first time on-screen. However, he has a long way to go. Kangna continues to be an average actor. She fails to impress. Kabir Bedi and Poonam Dhillon deliver their roles well. The others in the film are passable.
The film does not stand strong in the acting department, nor in the story. Tanveer Khan has tried certain novelties in terms of the treatment that bring moments of relief in an otherwise predictable story. The characterization could have been better defined to keep the audience engaged. The film is well paced and the writer- director avoids the usual teary-eyed melodrama that is considered an integral part of such films. However, he does fail to make the romance between Chirag and Kangna click.
Technically, cinematography by Baba Azmi is beautiful, especially the vineyards that Siddharth (Kabir Bedi) owns. Sajid- Wajid’s tracks make for a good listen but they don’t stand out.
Overall, the film is an attempt at romance and thriller, but lacks the energy to keep the audience watching.

This movie is a joke. Chirag is a useless son of a useless father. Bollywood is increasing becoming a trashcan like Indian politics.
