to marry. This time, both of them run away from the wedding only to bump again in
their wedding fineries at the door of Girl2. They decide to continue with the
live-in mode of the relationship.
Is
strength of character absolutely missing in the current youth? Surely, it’s not
possible. So, is this movie just a funny comedy? But, how can you take it as a
mindless comedy of indecisiveness, when it is unabashedly and ruthlessly targeting
the age old and universal institution of marriage? Agreed, that the blissful
and perfect marriage is a myth and every marriage has its share of ups and
downs, ranging from being mild to simply unbearable. But a society sans
marriage will be outright savage.
However,
the movie does ably show the incumbent fear of marriage within the current
youth. Deep down they are lonely and seek a loyal and forever loving partner.
But the current life style and absence
of active role of parents and/or guardians in their life, makes them ever
paranoid to enter into a marriage. The fear of failure of marriage stops them
from entering into one! Resultantly, they enter into relationships one after
the other, only to become more fearful with each failed relationship.
If
you leave aside the concept of this movie, you have to admit that both the
direction and acting are pretty good. The actors have played their part with as
much conviction and innocence as they could conjure in playing such complex
characters. At any point of time, you don’t feel sad or hateful towards any of
them! And in such a storyline, this is commendable. After Shah Rukh, Sushant
seems to be the one who would make the giant successful leap from small screen
to the big screen. Parineeti is a natural actor, very much like Kajol but a lot
less boisterous. Given that this is her debut movie, Vani appears surprisingly
effortless and confidant. In fact the screen chemistry that she shares with
Sushant is more natural and believable. Rishi Kapoor has acted as per
expectation. It is amusing to see him don the hat of a Rajasthani baniya running
a wedding business. Cinematography is also good. The city of Jaipur and nearby
locations have been covered well.
