Sara Ali Khan-Akshay Kumar’s magical mystery tour is a misfire. But thank God for Dhanush
So Complicated, Yet So Simple! A Twisted Love Triangle With More Than Three Angles
The brilliance of Himanshu Sharma's script is that it doesn't rely much on 'the twist' as it keeps building to one soul-fatiguing climax.
Even Dhanush can’t save this weird take on love
Star Cast: Dhanush, Sara Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ashish Verma
Director: Aanand L Rai
What’s Good: It’s a twisted love triangle with its edge so sharp that it busts all the perceptions of “What romance should be?” & the urge of finding someone as hopeless as romantic as Dhanush
What’s Bad: It makes you cry but fails to make toh laugh apart from a couple of funny sequences
Loo Break: Definitely, not during the songs!
Watch or Not?: This will test your patience at times but trust me, it’s all for the better!
Available On: Disney+ Hotstar
Runtime: 138 minutes
Language: Hindi
Okay, so, before we get into the story let me be as clear as possible, I won’t be able to explain it fully keeping the twist & thrills intact. So, whatever I write about the story, take that as just a fraction of what’s in the film. The story revolves around Rinku (Sara Ali Khan) who is madly in love with her magician boyfriend Sajjad Ali (Akshay Kumar). Due to the obvious cast-clash, Rinku’s toxic family does her ‘Jabariya Shaadi’ (forced marriage) by kidnapping a groom for her named Vishu (Dhanush).
Vishu, a polite & obedient doctor, before landing in this situation was all set to raid his girlfriend’s wedding to make a heroic entry making it memorable for them. But, fate brings Vishu & Rinku together who ultimately fall for each other. This leads to a love triangle between Vishu, Rinku & Sajjad (I’m making it sound simple to not spoil anything, trust me it’s not) and it’s a lot more than which guy would get the girl in the end. (Phew! I managed to tell the crux without revealing anything).
