Shudh Desi Romance is the love comedy trapped between tradition and modernity. It’s the battle between mind and heart. Heart wants love and Indecisive mind trying to avoid marriage.
Central plot of the movie is Sushant and Parineeti two small town youngsters run-away from their marriage as they don’t want get trapped in this marriage tradition but love the romance bit. The entire story is about character refusing to commit and acting in convenient entertaining manner to find an escape route to marriage on the marriage day.
To begin with, I can suggest an appropriate title which could be “ Shudh Desi Live-In relationships” or “Confused in Jaipur”.
Jaideep Sahni has written excellent movies in the past. Among his best writing are Ram Gopal Varma's Company, Yash Raj Films' Chak De India and Dibakar Banerjee's Khosla Ka Ghosla. Here, Jaideep writes an average comedy with few non-veg jokes and romance where characters express true love in a bold fashion in the movie.
For any Romantic movie, where is the love? How characters express the love and how chemistry works.? Well, characters use 100% localized Indian language. The bold script has multiple kisses but kisses give u hot entertainment doesn’t enhance the chemistry. Characters are visual as they gets attracted by looks and fall in love. Its modern romance where attraction is heart and it changes over-time with emotions. Emotions are not deeper and hence accountability or responsibility has little role to play in script.
Director of “Band Baja Barat “ repeats few band baja barat” sets as he is expert in that. Direction of the movie is good with full Indian sets and treatment of the movie looks impressive. However, Where it lacks is “ Creation of pure romance". It is as modern day kissing and hugging sequences where the soul of romance is lost.
Sushant does well in acting but his character is so indecisive and loosely developed that he has only couple of emotions to display. Parineeti and Vaani looks beautiful and does well. Vaani looks impressive out of the two.
In the end, you can’t help but u feel these are entertaining or different type of people who just romance and doesn’t commit. It’s a surprise to walk into a cinema and find a different script and treatment and characters moving boldly.
Shudh Desi Romance is not for everyone but if you’re in search of different script and bit of entertainment and ready to experiment then you can watch it. If you prefer movies with ethical and honest messages, don’t go for it.
I would rate it as 2.5 out of 5.
