She echoes the “live-in-the-moment” heroines of the 1960s, reminiscent of Sadhana or Sharmila Tagore in their most carefree avatars. Kareena’s Geet talks incessantly, cries without inhibition, and loves with absolute surrender. The train sequence where she meets Aditya (Shahid Kapoor) is a masterclass in classic romantic comedy timing.
