Directed by: Laxman Utekar Cast- Kartik Aaryan, Kriti Sanon, Vinay Pathak, Pankaj Tripathy, Atul Shrivastava, Alka Amin, Aparshakti Khurana. This comedy is set in Mathura wherein a news channel reporter Guddu (Kartik Aaryan) and his intern Rashmi (Kriti Sanon) decide to live-in together before tying the knot, hilarity ensues when their families get dragged into it resulting in confusion, chaos and melodrama. Utekar as the director does a good job and the movie has an old world charm reminding you of movies like Piya Ka Ghar(1972) or Prem Vivah (1979), though not the premise but the genre is very ‘slice of life’. It has the same ‘middle of the road’ feel like Bareilly Ki Barfi(2016) and Badhaai Ho(2018). The music is a major letdown with songs heavily remixes and borrowed from hit Punjabi originals. To give Utekar due credit he has brilliantly used Mohammed Rafi’s ‘Jaan Pehchan Ho’ and Sharda’s ‘Bidaai Geet’ in two hilarious situations. Kartik Aaryan is brilliantly adorable in the lead role, his comic timing and dialogue delivery are excellent. Kriti Sanon fails to impress but looks charming and tall, just too tall. Both Aparshakti and Pankaj Tripathy are fantastic and perform with aplomb especially the latter who gets into the skin of his characters so effortlessly in his recent acts. Now, there are some religiously offensive dialogues which may not go down well with some viewers, but the overall intent of the director and the almost clean and ‘Family viewing’ nature of this comedy can easily overshadow the minor flaws. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
