I got to see a good Hindi movie in a long time! They say its a comedy, it even starts as one, but this is more serious movie than comedy. When the starting credits roll you come to know that the director's name is 'Luv' and you have to say that someone with this much emo name has to be an untalented smuck. But to my surprise movie is quite good! It shows how a comedy can be shown in someone else's tragedy. At one point you just say 'f**k it' and instead of pitying those boys you start to enjoy the comedy-in-tragedy thing that the director has got going on.
For all the six leading actors this is their debut film. It turns out to be in favour of the movie. If you see any 'new' face with familiar issues its always easy to relate to that fellow. That's exactly you end up with - relating yourself with the characters in the movie.(One guy wears his id badge around his neck throughout the day. We have to agree, all of us have done that at some point.) This might seem a bit unfair to the ladies since the director(who happens to be the writer too) has shown them as villians. But ask any single guy who is trying to 'score', how girls are, and I am afraid that's exactly how he would portray girls.
The best part of the movie is when one guys rants about how girls are ruining their lives for almost 6 minues. We should really admire the directors talent in this scene. It can be really hard to write monologues that would both be captivating and would last that long. But the director really excelled there. And somehow he manages to make it funny. And the concluding part of the monologue is literally Laugh-Out-Loud moment.
All three leading male actors have done pretty good job themselves. The leading ladies are not that impressive compared to them(maybe its the 'guy' inside me talking!). And its good that they picked up three different characters with similar issues. One is jock, second one is the geek and the third one is the puppy type who'll always follow the girl. And good thing is unlike every other teenage comedy, the jock also faces the relationship issues. He is also super-insecure when it comes to his girlfriend. This is what common guys can relate to. Again bravo director!
Since this is Luv Ranjan's directorial debut. I wish him good luck in his future endeavours. And looking forward to his next flick...
