<h2 class="footer_style"> I M 24 U; Romcom Dir: Saurabh Shukla Cast: Rajat Kapoor, Ranvir Shorey, Neha Dhupia, Manjari Fadnis **1/2</h2> I M 24 follows a 42-year-old balding writer who is known for his honesty. Well, that was the case before he falls in love with a much younger aspiring beauty queen. To make matters worse, his friends decide to help him win her affection. The premise is pretty clear though: He&rsquo;s not the guy she is looking forward to and she&rsquo;s not the girl he should be looking for. <img alt="I M 24" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/sep/I-M-24.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 594px; " /> Directed by Saurabh Shukla, this movie is bound to find resonance amongst those who spend a lot of time on social networking sites. After all, only they realise how different they are in actual life from the image they display on the web. The screenplay could have been much tauter had some basic loopholes been taken care of. For instance, if a stranger tells you that he composed the music of Rockstar, you&rsquo;ll at least Google once to confirm no matter how ignorant you are about Bollywood. To add insult to injury, it&rsquo;s happening in the big bad world of cyberspace! Also, would the societal balance be maintained if the age of the protagonists were to be interchanged? Like, if she were 42 and he, 19? This has to be Rajat Kapoor&rsquo;s finest big screen performance till date. He simply slips into the character and doesn&rsquo;t deviate an inch from his graph. Manjari Fadnis is adorable as his love interest. Ranvir Shorey fits the bill as his hyperactive best friend. And Neha Dhupia&rsquo;s non-mainstream performances tend to better her mainstream ones. Forgettable songs notwithstanding, this is a one-time watch thanks to sincere acting from almost everyone present on the canvas.

Loneliness can make a person lie, especially on the Internet. The relentless need of companionship might compel people to not only enhance their online avatar but also change their realities at least in words. The protagonist of this film does exactly the same and pays a cinematic price
