Shuddh Desi Romance – A Fresh Whiff Of Air :)

The two famous questions which we all Indians ask without for even once thinking whether it’s appropriate to ask or not are as follows: 1) So when are you getting married ? Whatever answer you chose to give to that rest assured you will get a barrage of free unwanted advices from these over concerned well wishers like: - Please do something you are running out of time - Come on you can’t be so choosy - You must be very stubborn - Lower your expectations - You still did not manage to catch hold of anyone 2) (And if you happen to be married) So when are you guys planning a family /having children? Oh yes the advices to that are also humongous: - We know of this really good doctor we will pass on the details to you ( I have heard this from my married friends) - Some of them go too far to share their bedroom secrets as well ;) (Incredible I tell you all these info I have got courtesy my married friends :)) It time we realize just like for the ammunition industry to make profit and sustain some unwanted bloodshed in the name of war are required and the same also holds true the business of many match making organizations, the Florists, the Lehengamakers of Karol Bagh and the many other business which runs due to ‘Marriages’. But having said the above yes the ammunition is needed to safeguard any nation and the marriage for companionship should happen only when two individuals want to be together but not to please people who have minute or no contribution in one’s life or please anyone for that matter. While I was watching the movie the above mentioned thoughts were crossing my mind almost all the time :) This movie does not follow the usual format of a Bollywood romantic but kind of contradicts and promotes live in relationship in a very own sweet desi way , the last movie on live in relationship was 2005 release ‘Salaam Namaste’ but then that was based in Australia and then this one is set in our Incredible India full of double standards and in Jaipur –Rajasthan so for that it is definitely a bold step. The story is about three young people and their experiment with relationships and not exactly following the society’s prescribed syllabus .The depiction of relationship of today’s generation is quite well captured. I never understood one thing why is marriage connected to the final settlement of life :) Yes everyone is looking for companionship so why put a timeline to it and so many rules and regulations to it specially when those individuals are not causing any sort of harm to the society or anyone for that matter. Many might find this movie of sluggish pace but because the narrative format is quite different I thought it was good something unusual isn’t movie making also an experimentation.. Sushant Singh Rajput is really good but in few scenes I felt he was just walking through or maybe his counterparts were just quite above the notch, but one thing portrays quite well and that is he is like this puppy who is running around for love :) one small signal from the opposite sex and there he goes running behind his true love :) Parineeti Chopra is superb as this carefree bindaas girl and I hope in her next movie she gets out of her comfort zone and experiments with a different kind of character. Vaani Kapoor is drop dead gorgeous but her character kind of puzzled me but then it takes all sorts to make this world go round ;) Rishi Kapoor like an excellent wine is only getting better with age :) BTW if you are confused on the D-Day of your life visit the bathroom just before you say ‘I Do’ and you will get the right answer :). This movie definitely has a fresh approach and a nice message which may or may be not liked given the subject of live in and the attitude towards live in relationships most of the people have in this country. But the Friday collections of this movie are pretty positive and maybe it’s an indication times are changing :) Recommended :)
