Before I even begin , I must
first tell you how I even ended up watching this movie. I woke up, one Sunday morning
to have been texted by 5 people about how awesome the movie was. I just had to
go watch it and boy did I get lucky with getting tickets on the first Sunday of
release. I sat on my seat waiting for
that “Wow” moment which never happened to me. I thought perhaps I was too left-
brained than the folks who recommended it or perhaps too insensitive in always
trying to make sense out of things
I am not going to say here that I
was bored to death. Well I wasn’t and I will tell you why- the eccentric expressions of Parineeti kept
my mind in a constant delirium trying to figure what her character was like.
Even up to the end of the movie I couldn’t really figure her character
out. Parineeti plays the female protagonist
(Meeta) who is so very intelligent, yet she is mocked at and literally driven out
of her family for wanting to get a Phd. Her family by the way , has crores of rupees
but will judge her for having short hair and being a geek, so she steals from
her Dad and goes absconding for years. Meanwhile, she does have a hot sister(Karishma)
who is allowed to act in TV serials and marry below her!!(Nikhil)...Now how is
this fair? and for the geeky feminist in me this feels like “Ghoar Apraadh” .
Now coming back to the quirky
Meeta, let me tell you this – in the start of the movie I thought she was
boyish and geeky, somewhere in the middle I thought she was perhaps autistic or
had a neurological disorder but then, by the end of the movie it felt like she
had separation anxiety. Surprisingly, during the song and dance numbers she was
so sane and normal that it felt like the song was not a part of the movie. Now
any guy will fall for a girl like that in the song, so it explains that Nikhil falls
for her and dumps Karishma . Well how insensitive I wonder, love of 7
years evaporates in one song and dance sequence. It didn’t matter then that the
girl ate 5 tubes of toothpaste, and was living on
anti-depressants to solve her neurotic issues (hmm…), all you had to do was to
dance with her or fix her blouse, and you are in love, really?. On the other
hand poor Karishma who is actually being loving towards her sister and
practical towards her fiancé is considered to be meany woman just because wants her fiancé
to pay her Dad back for the debts he has incurred. I think the story really lacked
a solid screenplay and character sketch
Yes! I was still quite
entertained I must say, every scene Parineeti (Meeta) was weird in a different way and gave me
enough brain work and laughter. Siddharat Malhotra (Nikhil) in his white shirts
with sleeves pulled up was a total hit amongst the girls who would stop
screaming in the theatre!! So that was entertainment too.. I must say watch and
tell me what you think about it. For this movie I really have to know key hasee
toh kyun?
