Struggling in a domain somewhere in between Love, Commitment
and Matrimony, writer Jaideep Sahani gives us a refreshingly real middle-class
India where marriage needn't be the prime ambition for young Indian girls,where
women can move on with their heads high,live independently,raise their voice
and carry on with life despite having been ditched at the altar by a confused
Romeo.
Jaideep Sahani, known for his penchant for small town India,
pens down a love story with stark realism without making it overdose with desi
melodrama, instead, he flamboyantly indulges his desi characters in pre marital
sex, girls smoking and drinking in public and couple living together posing as
siblings!
Sushant Singh Rajput as Raghu Ram perfectly represents a
segment of today's youth whose passions and confusions mirrors their phobia for
commitment and the actor essays the part with a cute nervousness, at times
stupid, charming demeanour. Parineeti Chopra (at times, reminds me so much of
the earlier days of Rani Mukherji) is as always, effortless with her no
nonsense attitude and Vaani Kapoor is good. The actor's take on their quirky
behaviour works because it’s outrageous and funny. Also,as if in a Woody Allen
movie, they sit across the camera and explain to the audience why they behaved
so. Few scenes which are worth mentioning are : a) the first awkward kiss
between Raghu and Gayatri on a moving bus b) the couple living together posing
as siblings c) Sexual attraction is often the prime key to a couple's equation
these days, and the film doesn't shy away from it d) the conversation between
Gayatri and Tara in the bus. Also interestingly, slowly and steadily Yash Raj
films getting rid of its designer bursts, swiss Alps, elaborate wedding dramas
and hopefully..SRK (soon)!!
