I have never heard of the Director, Shashant Shah. I have seen a lot of films starring Lara Dutta, and a couple starring Vinay Pathak. I particularly liked his Dasvidaniya and Bheja Fry. But this film is really cute, and almost blemishless. It does not have the drama of a Jab We Met (also a good movie), but it has the innocence of a Dilli-Mumbai love-hate affair (affair not in the usual sense of the word).
From the moment Lara Dutta first appears as a typical hyper executive, to the last moment where she accepts Vinay Pathak for what he IS, rather than her concept of what he SHOULD BE, it is a beautiful act of the opposites interacting to produce sparks, but very gentle.
Even without Yana Gupta's item number, it would be one of my favorites of 2011.
