The Zoya Factor Movie Review: The missing 'X' factor

Sadly the makers of The Zoya Factor are unable to decide if they're making a realistic rom-com, dramedy, or just a plain and simple parody of what's already a rather preposterous premise.

The Zoya Factor
Director: Abhishek Sharma
Actors: Sonam Kapoor, Dulquer Salmaan
Rating:

I know Sonam Kapoor, being as squeaky, ditsy on screen as possible, isn't quite Renee Zellweger; or Julia Roberts, for that matter. And while one's aware of actor Dulquer Salmaan being quite the female heartthrob down South, his screen presence doesn't obviously match the immensely natural ease of, say, Tom Cruise, or Hugh Grant.

But this script, below the surface-level, I suspect, had the makings of two rom-com classics, Jerry Maguire (1996), and Notting Hill (1999), that continue to warm/charm moviegoers across generations, in love with the idea of that uncanny, funny kinda love.
