She’s dating the Gangster

It is a 2014 Philippine coming of age rom com drama. Based on the pop Fiction book of the same name originally published on Teen talk section. Directed by Cathy Garcia Molina.Starring Kathryn Bernardo, Daniel Padilla with Dawn Zulueta & Richard Gomez.

Kenneth finds that his father had loved a woman, Athena. But he knows the whole story when he rides a bus with Kelay, Athena’s niece, enroute Legazpi. The plane carrying his father has crashed & both are in search of information about Kenji, his father.

Athena is not well & wishes to see Kenji, her first love, once before she dies. All makes for a great story but the grounds on which Kenji marries Kenneth’s mother are too unbelievable.

A box office hit, it takes us through scenic routes. The actors Daniel & Bernardo are in a relationship from 2012. She is the first & only Filipina actress to breach the 800 million mark for two movies. One in 2018 & the other in 2019.She was also given the ‘Box office Queen’award for the blockbuster movie ‘Barcelona : A love untold’ again with Daniel.

The film reminds of the Hindi film “Kuch Kuch hota Hai’ By Shahrukh, Kajol & Rani. A 1998 Romance film, a musical. All the songs are a hit.
