My Take On HUMPTY SHARMA KI DULHANIA - 'A Fun & Timepass Rom-Com'

This youthful romantic comedy has been inspired from bollywood's most iconic & loved love story DDLJ. So its a tribute HSKD pays to the memorable SRK-Kajol starrer. The film starts breezily with several frolic moments shared by its lead pair thanks to their humorous conversations that provide laughs through out the 1st half. But post intermission the movie couldn't quite sustain its delicious touch even though it tried. Particularly the climax which doubtlessly is funny & emotional yet never the less so unconvincing. The problem in script here is that just to make this rom com unique from others, it fails to justify its happy ending. I mean how the almost broken relationship of the leads converts into an union? This is not answered by the director. However,  this film is still watchable for the chemistry Varun & Alia have shared. They look cute & refreshing together and also act nicely. Varun is immensely likeable as Humpty who does well in both comic & romantic part and plays emotional scenes impressively. Alia too is a treat to watch here. She is ethreally adorable & utterly believable as the bubbly Kavya. The role suits her aptly. Among the side performers, Ashutosh Rana is terrific, Gaurav & Sahil(the two friends of varun) are thoroughly entertaining. Sadly though, Siddharth Shukla the TV hunk has nothing much to do in a special appearance. The music given by Sachin-Jigar & Toshi is overally enjoyable. Songs like Samjhawan, Lucky Tu Lucky Me & D Se Dance are hummable.

Thus the debutant director Shashank Khaitaan under Karan Johar production has altogether made a half good amusing love story that can be viewed once or twice. But i don't think it will be quarter as unforgettable as DDLJ or even like Jab We Met. Still its pretty much a sweet, engaging film that mainly works because of its two fresh & endearing protagonists.

My Rating - 3 / 5
