Love and Shukla

Understated and nuanced acting and directing. Honest portrayal of the hard times and resilience of the protagonist. Highly recommended

These types of movies always amazes me. Wow, I love this movies simplicity and Everything. These actors are amazing, Thanks to all of them for making a good story for us.

I must say amazing, Watch Right Now!

If u are a fan of parallel cinema, Love and Shukla will tick most of your boxes. The subtle life story of an "Unimportant" autowala is presented in a rather beautiful manner. Stories around Mumbai's woefully inadequate spaces are not uncommon on screen, yet Love and Shukla sets out to tell a realistic tale, that steps out of the confined space of a room in a chawl to capture the claustrophobia of life for the poor and underprivileged.

Terrific cinematography & direction by Jatla Siddhartha sets the tone and paints a vibrant picture in audience's hearts. Editing, production design, music, costumes & makeup were all apt & subtly used in a perfectly toned down manner for good effect. Saharsh Kumar Shukla delivers a mature, delicate and a memorable performance, ably supported by all the supporting actors.

Overall, a good watch for parallel cinema audiences as the film is full of tight frames that enhance the frustration and suffocation of the characters. Not recommended for mainstream SRK and Salman Khan audiences.

This film need support , not because it talk about issues in our society. But it talk about the most unspoken issue of a lower class urban family , which they cant do it in their lifetime and make their life full of missery never communicated positively. And a big mass of our society live in this portion of our country.

What worked:

• realistic and simple screenplay and the dialogues
• authentic naturalistic setting, mood and characters development. The movie was a treat especially the ending five minutes has one of the best scenes in Hindi cinema in terms of cinematography.

What did not work: -maybe it's true but the scenes where the main character being exploited constantly which driving auto-rickshaw in the movie felt cliche and repetitive although the theme of the movie was conveyed through those scenes as well. Final verdict: Recommended; I was pleasantly surprised
