Shuddh Desi Romance should be watched only for its one liners.
જાન ના પહેચાન free કી સંતાન!
બારાત તો ગેહને ચેક કરને કે લિયે હોતી હૈ.... હમારી શાદિયોં મેં પૂરે હિન્દુસ્તાન કા જૂઠ ઔર ડબલ સ્ટાન્ડર્ડ્ બહાર આ જાતા હૈ!
ઐસા લગતા હૈ ડમરુ કો મિલ ગયા હો kingfisher calendar!
કોઈ ગુપ્ત રોગ તો નહીં હો ગયા?
એક કોફી પીને મેં કૌન સી તુમ્હારી વર્જિનિટી ભ્રષ્ટ હો જાયેગી?
અરે ગુલઝાર કા ગા લે અગર ગહરાઇ ચાહિયે તો...
તુમ પૈદા હી ચાલુ હુએ થે યા કોઈ ઇન્ફેક્શન લગ ગયી થી?
જો પાસ હોતી હૈ વો તો ચપ્પલ લગતી હૈ ના?
Ane my favourite Rishi Kapoor liner of the movie - ભાગ્ય હમારે, જો કામદેવ પધારે!
Jaideep Sahni the writer provides all the freshness.
High point - Parineeti's amazing performance in two scenes where she gets a lump in the throat that exudes vulnerability of the character.
Extremely well written screenplay. Just an example...Gayatri has had her share of heartbreaks earlier in a few relationships and she is not open for one more. No Shaadi types. Raghu cajoles her, wooes her with his antics which leads to the first night spent by Raghu at Gayatri's place. The next morning they open theirs eyes up together on the same bed. When you watch the film, please observe that while they have a warm romantic conversation, Gayatri's head is on her pillow but Raghu's head is on neatly folded dresses of Gayatri. Gayatri's old clothes are used as a pillow for Raghu. Why? Gayatri does not have another pillow in her home. Why? Because she does not want anyone in her life. She has suffered a severe heartbreak with the previous live in partner. Such minute detailing without making it obvious! Fab screenplay.
The placement of old retro hindi songs on Radio to make fun of the thought pattern of the characters on screen is too good. The characters talking to the audience and explaining their respective stances is also quite an enjoyable part.
Many might find it boring towards the stretched and clueless climax. I have a problem with Sushant's dialogue delivery. Here he is almost an image of Bittu of Band Baaja Baraat. કિરાયે કે બારાતી....ન્યૂ કન્સેપ્ટ પણ આવું થતું હશે? One more problem is the target audience. This film won't get many takers. Its not shuddh. Not Desi at all. Bold and confused. It did not have to be funny all through. It could have had believable scenes. બહુ બધા સીન્સ એવા છે જે જોઇને થાય કે આવું તે કઈ હોતું હશે યાર!
Purely for its refreshing treatment I would go for 3.25 mirchis out of 5
