After watching Bareilly ki Barfi, I was wondering if Ayushmann Khurrana should have a release in the same genre just weeks apart, but this has really surprised me that he has done extremely well in both without seeming trite and boring. It is perhaps a mighty coincidence that Bhumi Pednekar and Seema Pahwa too have 2 movies (Toilet Ek Prem Katha, Bareilly ki Barfi respectively)running parallely in almost the same genres and doing reasonably well. The one thing that really prompted me to go watch the movie was the fact that it was the remake of a Tamil movie Kalyana Samil Sadham, and that too remade by the same director R S Prasanna. Hats off to the bold and experiential subject of the film and the overall sweet "moral of the story" that it leaves you with. Not to mention the incredible performances by the lead actors and the well chosen support cast and the well- thought-out hindi adaptation
The story is a romantic comedy, about Mudit and Suganda both engineers who are engaged and to be married. It is just before the wedding that Mudit discovers he suffers from erectile dysfunction (called gents problem in the entire movie, so hereon) and the story is a comic take on how he, his friends, fiancé and in-laws are all trying to help him out of his gents" problem
An amazing supporting cast and I am in Love with our new onscreen hit Mom Seema Pahwa, way to go! she has as much of an impression on you as much as the leading actors of the film or may be more. Bhumi has already discovered herself and understands her strengths as an actress. She can really play the girl next door and also keep it really REAL. She is got both the Delhi accent and the Body language perfect for this role. The screenplay has been well adapted for the Hindi / Bollywood Audiences and this is really important when you are working on a subject which may have variant impacts/ meaning to different cultures.
The actor, I am trying to find is Mr.X (I couldn't find his name online anywhere!! Please help here on the comments) who plays Suganda's father has also done an outstanding job alongside Brijendra Kala who plays her Uncle. They are beyond adorable besides just comic
I am very happy and extremely proud of the directors that are bred in the south, and have written about my admiration of for Mr. Maniratnam & Balki before . Now R.S. Prasanna joins my list of favorites . There was another movie recently called OK Jaanu, that was a remake of OK Kanmani , which was again an amazing Tamil movie, but it just didn't hit it with the audience, perhaps because of a different director and weak screenplay adaptation.
I am little unhappy and I will tell you why, I may sound rhetoric and preachy in the next few lines but I really have to say this- I saw Children below 13, some even 3 or 4 years old in the movie theatre and it did disturb me that as Parents who are multiplex audiences (educated!!) would bring their kids to a movie with this subject, irrespective of the censor boards decision. I do agree that it was all about the "gents' problem (No one uses the actual words)" and very subtly put too but do you really want to take away innocence from the Children this soon. So please do watch this movie but leave your Children at home. At a burning fever, but for the love of movies, this one is the soothing, healing and a "feel good movie" that I needed to watch for sure. Go and Enjoy!
