Sweet, simple and light hearted movie. You will come back home with a smiling face and many nostalgic memories from 90's :)



You may look forward to:

• The simplicity of the story is the USP of the movie. There are no twists and turns, nor any darkness. Just a small town family in their common man lifestyles
• Ayushmann Khurrana looks absolutely cute, you cant help but feel sympathetic at his role :)
• Bhumi Pednekar steals all the limelight. She is the major lead of the movie. She looks adorable indeed. She plays this lady from small town who is rebellious, but as well is a woman who like any other woman seeks love and wants to make a happy family of her own with all the acceptance. For a debutant, she is unquestionably a charmer!
• Sanjay Mishra can never go wrong :) Whatever he plays, feels amazingly authentic and very real
• Alka Amin,Sheeba Chaddha and Seema Pahwa, are good warm supports
• The humor of the movie is just so nostalgic. It takes you back to the 90's, with every mention of small bits, be it songs from 90's or the usage of cassettes, or Limca. Sharat Katariya does a very commendable job of presenting a movie for an all family watch :)

What you can sleep over:

While Prem is seen apologizing in multiple fractions in the second half, Sandhya is never seen apologizing. She is explicitly presented to be taunting and rude as well on multiple counts. The typical humor driven jokes where its always the husband saying sorry, is sort of stupid in this context



The dampeners you should be aware of:

• The second half of the movie could be a lot better. Sudden transformation in the  couple and their behavior is a little too quick to absorb
• Exaggerated difficulty level of the final game that seals the bond between the couple, was just way too out of the bound
• Ayushmann Khurrana's role didn't have much of content, as comparable to the female lead, when this movie clearly isn't a female oriented one

 

My Rating: 3/5
