Movie Review: Humpty Sharma ki Dulhania – aka DDLJ




Well, first of all it's not just DDLJ, but every single romantic movie concept which gets repeated again and again. The plot is again the same boy-girl-problems in marriage type thing. And, it certainly is not a first day or even first week watch in a mall. But, the thing which kept me watching this movie is the efforts of HUMPTY and PATAKA (Alia's neck Tattoo). Though, the half of 2nd part is too lengthy to handle.


PlotWhen Kavya Pratap Singh, a chirpy, yet fiesty girl from Ambala, decides to make a trip to Delhi for her marriage shopping, she meets a young, carefree Delhi lad, Humpty Sharma. Humpty's father is the owner of a campus bookstore, where Humpty and his two best friends, Shonty and Poplu, have grown up together and which remains their hangout spot even now. Kavya is unattainable for Humpty initially, which makes her even more endearing to him. But being a Delhi boy, he is not the one to give up so easily. With some help from his two best friends, he finds out all about her and through an interesting turn of events (including a ploy to save Kavya's friend Gurpreet's marriage), they start growing closer to each other.

The more time they spend with each other, their love hate banter grows, but their chemistry is apparent. They are both different, yet very similar as people. They are young, fiesty and carefree, and its the spurge of life which attracts them to each other.

As per plan, once Kavya's trip ends, she heads back to Ambala, knowing very well that her father, the very strict, yet loving Mr. Singh, would never accept her love for Humpty. But even though they both weren't looking for love, love happened. So Humpty, accompanied by his two friends, decides to go get Kavya.

That's the beginning of a journey for him that he wouldn't have imagined undertaking even in the wildest of his dreams. Humpty, against all odds, decides to convince Kavya's family to agree to his alliance with her. How he does this and if he succeeds in his mission forms the rest of the story

Humpty Sharma - Varun Dhawan has good skills and can do good performances with entertainment as well, but here something was missing. It's just the story line which doesn't allow him to something extraordinary, but he takes point for his Delhi attitude and of course the chemistry with friends. but, the 2nd part was nothing to talk about and you disappoint.

Pataka - Alia, dear, you were awesome in Highway and here to try to be everything with all your efforts and did good. The dialogs suited on you and yeah, you're born hot. Apart these things, the performance was very low.

Direction - Nothing to say about this, didn't use the skill well of the two potential actors.

Music - All India wedding music, lasts till you are in the mood of celebration, which you can't be in a movie. Nothing could be called as awesome.

Conclusion - The movie is no where near to the DDLJ apart from the dialogs and I prefer to wait for the net print to come so that you can watch it. However, if you're feeling bored at home, then you can go and watch at your own risk.
