Ayushmann Khurana and Jitendra Kumar’s gay romance seems to have fair first week at the box office. But it witnessed a massive drop in the second week. The subject was to sensitive that impacted its run in the domestic circuit.
Aman Tripathy (Jitender Kumar) and Kartik Singh (AyushmanN Khurana) fins love in the capital city of Delhi , where they live. Their love blossoms but the problem starts when they decide to go to Allahabad and convince Aman’s orthodox family for their approval.
The first half is engaging with Neena Gupta (Aman’s Mom) best puch lines Manvi gagroo (Aman’s cousin google) was a show stealer in her own capacity. Gajraj Rao (Shankar Aman’s Father) is the most dominating character in the movie. He has got most of the screen time in the movie even more than Ayushmann Khurana. He has performed really well. Both serious approach and funny when and whenever needed.
The script is nothing great but the director wants to touch the sensitive issues. The plot could have done with quality humour.
The film has promoted Hindi cinemas first gay story. The audience maybe disappointed with the end product. While Ayushmann Khurana has done a stellar but Jatinder Kumar takes the cake with his blurry eyes and husky voice.
Although the film has a strong concept, the story and its treatment could have been better. The first half movie was a moderate pace while the second half is a bit dragged. Though the film makes us laugh our heart out but still lacks the intensity in certain moments. The scene where Aman finally stand up to his father could have been enhanced in a better way.
The dialogues are comical and cleverly written.
Coming to the performances Ayushmann gets into the skin of the character. He is fearless and soul of the film. But gets lesser screen time than others. Jitendar fits his role very well. He is sacred where he should be, stands up with his lover when needed. He charms the audience with his innocence.
Neena Gupta and Gajraj Rao makes a perfect couple and share a wonderful chemistry onscreen. The supporting actors, Pankhuri, Mann, Maanvi Gagroo and Sunita deliver a fine performance.
