Excellently etched characters search for a story. A surprise package. Plays safe and correctly so. So the heroine strays from the natural path of binary relationship and passively seeks alternate love. Explicit scenes are stowed away and thankfully avoided as it could have impinged on a cleverly entertaining attempt by the director to sieve in social cause messages along the route of the plot .
But the plot to make father and society aware of the daughter’s choice is a bit silly and extremely contrived. While it maybe deliberate the physical chemistry between the two ladies almost reflects a normal friendly banter thus making it difficult for the audience to believe there is something special between the two.
Sonam underplays it a bit more than necessary but she is sharp in some scenes which require carefree innocence but caged happiness.Not exactly easy to depict. . Rajkumar Rao does not need compliments anymore. Juhi with her twinkling eyes may risk getting stereotypes now.
But I just could not take my eyes of Anil Kapoor who is simply outstanding speaking with his eyes . Appears having his daughter playing the reel life made it easy for him. He is fabulous throughout understanding the pulse of the character so beautifully.
It is not an easy topic to approach and handle and the caution reflects in the film becoming boring in spots.
This soft selling of need to accept alternate sexuality is clear but one wonders whether one needs to market it to make it acceptable.
The Indian audiences still squirm in their seats at the mention though it is heavily doctored to be a blink and you miss relationship depicted Between the Two girls . You give 1/2 a star purely for Anil Kapoor and the clever sober approach to the storyline. Else it is sadly a soulless story
**1/2 ( 1/2 purely for (Ak)
