Virwani's best friend is the lonely spoilt rich kid of the hill station, played by Aditya Seal who is quite simply the discovery of 2014. Seal plays the volatile heir with an air of aggressive bravura that works to make the character endearing. He is what Varun Dhawan in "Student Of The Year" couldn't be.
Mark my words. Seal is here to stay. My favourite scenes in the film are not Seal's shared intimacy with his best friend (Virmani) and fugitive beloved (Izabelle Leite, pretty but lifeless), but his bonding with his alcoholic mother (played by the very sensitive Sarika) who is married to muck (Rajit Kapoor, in a thankless role).
Seal plays the character as a cross between Kasauli's Jim Morrison and a spoilt child who won't grow up. It's an ambivalently etched character played with strokes of assured bravado.
