When an awe-inspiring actor makes a debut as a director, there are obviously high expectations. Pankaj Kapoor's Mausam in parts lives up to the sensitivity with which he has portrayed some of the finest characters over the years, but sadly it mostly meanders into a bumbling mess.

Sikh boy Harry (Shahid) falls in love with Muslim girl Ayaatu00a0 (Sonam), who has come to his village to stay with her bua (Supriya). Their love blossoms with one of the most romantic scenes in Bollywood. It's a tender moment where the couple exchanges small notes to each other, she scribbling with a mehendi cone in her hand. There is yet another breathtaking rain sequence. Unfortunately, these individual sparks don't make up the mood of the entire film.
