Sonu ke Titu ki Sweety (2018)
Saw this one recently and had a gala time laughing, as it reminded me so much of my friendships. The ‘bro code’ and all that it entails is shown with abandon and how some friends know you better than yourself is an endearing undercurrent of the film.
Then enters a beautiful proposal which turns complicated. Kartik Aryan (Sonu) plays the protective realist to his dear friend Sunny Nijar (Titu) the eternal romantic, who becomes enchanted with Nushrat Bharucha (Sweety).
Comedy from start to finish, with a pinch of emotions to add to the taste, the film is a riot! Exploring friendships in the details for both the older and younger generations, it deserves all the praise and success it has gotten. Great music and direction!
3.5/5
De de pyaar de (2019)
Directed by Akiv Ali and written by Luv Ranjan, they present a mature and progressive film which looks at relationships for people both younger and older. It explores a new romance and an old bond, with ample doses of comedy and some innuendo.
Ajay Devgn is restrained and subtle in a role that demands him to be so. Rakul Preet Singh is confident and plays her age and all the emotions that come with it. Jimmy Shergil lends able colourful and comic support. Alok Nath does a repeat act of his previous film with Luv Ranjan, and Tabu walks away with the best in this film. She is graceful, vivacious, a sensible head on her shoulders who exposes her vulnerabilities just like any human being. A brilliant actor!
The film is fun and light for most parts, maintaining a healthy balance between emotions and comedy.
