![]() ![]() Sanon, as the spunky small-towner, is pretty pleasing to the eye, but isn’t wholly convincing as she looks polished, urbane and worldly-wise in some of the scenes. The climax where you guess which man walks away with the woman may be predictable, but there’s no taking away from Iyer Tiwari’s knack for telling a good story in an engaging manner. ![]() ![]() While the first half is predictable and adheres closely to the trailer, the scenes after the interval are delightful. His chemistry with Khurrana - who reveals his grey shades - is spot-on and the portions where they interact are the highlights of this romantic comedy.įinally, here’s a Hindi film whose second half doesn’t disappoint and unravel into a total mess. The arrival of Rao as the meek, submissive salesman who can turn on the swag and attitude sporadically is a treat to watch. The first half is dominated by Khurrana and Sanon’s blossoming friendship, but it’s the second half that holds the real punch. Khurrana plays the wily Chirag Dubey, the seemingly affable guy who promises to help Bitti meet her dream author. ![]() The comedy of errors and garbled identities is unleashed when she sets out to meet Vidrohi in person. It was a failed literary debut, but it transforms Bittu’s life. She feels misunderstood by society at large, but feels a kinship with novelist Pritam Vidrohi after stumbling upon his book. The rotund matriarch is irked when her spirited daughter spurns off her suitors, one of whom wanted to know whether she was a virgin or not. Her conservative mother (played superbly by Seema Bhargava) is India’s answer to Mrs Bennett, the literary figure from Pride and Prejudice, who wants to marry her daughter off to a decent gentleman. We have Bittu (Sanon) from a typical middle-class household who’s frustrated by the patriarchy and sexism around her. Actor Ayushmann Khurrana and Kriti Sanon are his perfect foil, but they don’t hold a candle next to Rao’s impeccable comic timing and his hilarious two-sided personality switch. ![]()
