While the lead roles are Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur in a zippy, passionate and new age love story.....as significant are Naseeruddin Shah and Leela Samson in their mature, end of years, subtle love story.
Adi is a game designer, set to immigrate to the US and Tara is an architect headed out for Paris. Both are no commitment, no marriage, no emotional attachment kinds....yet so into each other that they decide to live in for the six months they have, before they move on to pursuing respective careers.
They move into Gopi uncle's house (Naseeruddin Shah) , and that forms the powerful backdrop story. Charu aunty ( Leela Samson) has Alzheimer's and that's touchingly and profoundly brought out.
Needless to say, just days before the impending parting, the young lovers need to confront some matters of the heart.
I have to mention Humma Humma, as it's a song I must have listened to a hundred times back in its hey days...the days of the walkman. The duo made the screen sizzle to the number.
This is a remake of Mani Ratnam's Ok kanmani in Tamil and Ok bangaaram in telugu, and I understand it's pretty true to original. (just giving credit where it's also due)
It's so wonderful to see desi movies with no villain at all, like zero negativity... I liked the intensity, the breaking gender bias, the boldness, the backdrop of the scary Alzheimer's, and the predictable happy ending. It definitely left me with that unmistakable nice warm fuzzy feeling.
