Well, only in movie teasers splattered on channels recently ... No Shuddh, No Desi, hmm...Thoda Romance ...
Plot/Story: A fake-barati cum clothes sales-man in Jaipur by name - Raghuram Sitaram (Shushant) meets another fake-barati cum ex-student - Gaitri (Parineeti) while going in a bus full of baratis for his own shaadi. They start up a conversation in the bus at night which ends up in an abrupt incomplete kiss. Next morning, Raghu runs away from his own marriage leaving the dulhan - Tara (debutante-Vani Kapoor) asking for a cold drink to bring her back to senses :-)
Next we see Raghu meeting up, flirting, courting and then mating with Gaitri as live-in partners.
They seem to be actually finally madly in love with each other .... Phew !! And They plan shaadi too.
But....This time the girl runs away !
Enter Tara.
Raghu falls for Tara.
Mind you, Tara is the same girl whom he had earlier abandoned right at marriage-hall-garland-stage. But subah ka bhoola, shaam ko ghar aa gaya hai ! Even they have kissed, made up, and made love.
Now audience (especially all wives and girlfriends holding their men by neck) starts feeling - Oh so finally the movie's coming to a happy ending !
Well No... ;-)
Re-Enter Gaitri. Raghu gets confused, falls for Gaitri again. Kisses Gaitri. Mistake, Kiss happened in front of Tara !
Next what ? Well ... It has just started ;-)
Go Watch the movie ... FYI-suspense is not worth it :-)
Weaknesses:
1. Theme: In purusit of being different and modern, this movie has proposed a kind of question mark on the very institution of shaadi. This is too bold a theme for Indian mindset. Tier-2 cities' audience won't be able to relate to the story or charachters. Bad for movie's commerce certainly.
Stregths:
1. All lead actors with special mention for debutante Vani. Confidence personified. And Not to forget our great entertainer - Rishi Kapoor (Without him, this movie couldn't go beyond even half-time)
2. Jaipur's picturization through camera
3. Some songs
As told earlier, this movie is a bold question mark on those who claim that a true-love is supposed to culminate in a shaadi. Whether this question is right or wrong one to ask, I can't comment. But certainly, this movie would be hated by many as it would irk their basic belief on Indian middle-class family values.
Should do extremely well with young student crowd (especially in Metros) as this movie entirely belongs to open-minded people who can discuss social issues within like-minded peers with maturity ...Marketing it on TV shows and all is waste as the best medium for promotion for these kind of movies is - word of mouth ...
My Ratings: 3*
