It is now 3 days since i saw this movie, it took this much time to recover from the after effects of this movie. It is a surprise the director of the much acclaimed and award winning movie 'Queen', Director Vikas Bahl made such a non cohesive movie. (Click to Tweet)
Produced by Anurag Kashyap, Vikas Bahl & Vikramaditya Motwane and distributed by Fox Star Studios this movie is about a destination wedding of a Sindhi boy and a Punjabi Girl. Meant to be a romantic comedy, has turned out to be a game that was lost quite in the beginning it self.
Pranks apart and smart acting by the lead couple Shahid Kapoor and Alia and money saving cartoon narration when ever there was a flash back situation, this movie is loud and confusing. While a fat girl getting married to a 8.5 pack body conscious boy, a marriage of convenience turns out to be a fiasco, except for the beautiful castle and good songs.
Handling comedy is an art and if the director decides to trivialise the comedy it will turn out to be a disaster and that is what it was. With the desire of creating comedy in every scene and the need of two family elders to go ahead with a marriage, assuming the marriage will save the already bankrupt business.
Shahid Kapoor playing the role of a Event organiser was good and he carried out his role with ease. He was good in the songs. Forced comedy sometimes didn't evoke the expected response from the audience. Overall he was worth the money paid to him.
Alia Bhatt did her Job as the insomniac orphan role, sometimes when she giggles in the movie, don't know if the shot was planned or she giggled while the shooting was on and the Director decided to use the shot. She casually did her role and there was not much scope for performance.
Sanah Kapoor, the younger sister of Alia, whose wedding that was taking place, played the role of a fat girl well and her emotions were well captured. Pankaj Kapoor and Sushma Seth did their job well, Sanjay Kapoor who was meant to be loud, was more than loud, once again proved why he was not a successful actor.
The comedy that was centered around the wedding was mindless and didn't evoke laughter as such. Crowds were leaving the theater with dazed minds
Even the presence of Karan Johar in a Mehndi day event, didn't make much difference to the people's plight, probably added more.
one of the comments made by a viewer, "is movie ko 1 se be neech star kuch hai to dena hai", since there was some decent acting by the lead couple and good music, movie could be given a rating of 2 stars
