De De Pyaar De

I thought it was an all out comedy movie.but it has drama too.some scenes were crackling.towards the end of second half it became melodramatic.but still can give it a try..

A middle-aged man (Devgn) dates a 25 year old girl who somehow has a hot body but chubby cheeks n nowhere close to Michelle Johnson from Blame It on Rio.

Things go awry when the man visits his ex wife (Tabu) for their daughter's wedding. He has to introduce his girlfriend as his secretary, himself as the brother of his ex wife n his son falls in love with the secretary. This film has a lil resemblance to Blame It on Rio, of course minus the nudity n sex. Ther is enuff humor but has unnecessary songs. The performances r top notch with some soothing cinematography. Kudos to Devgn for sportingly taking the old man jokes. They shud have given more footage to Javed Jaffrey. The female who played the daughter is very irritating.

This film has a hidden meaning regarding divorce. Most fellas hav this shame-based ideology of divorce. This film portrayed that divorce need not have to be bad. In fact divorce can be a new phase if partners separate amicably. I missed this film when it released in theaters cos of Ramadan fasting. Saw this yesterday.

So, The movie start slow first 40min or I can say first half is boring because Ajay Devgn and Rakul P Singh is in it all the time. Ajay around 50yrs and Rakul half of his age fall in love. Sometimes, for a minute Javed Jaffery Comes but didn't make me laugh. And then the interval happen after interval movie is enjoyable. There is no turns/twist but story makes audiance curious that how Ajay will manage the situation or what will happen next. Characters are good, the same "Sonu Ki Tittu ki Sweety" characters are there Aloknath as Father and her same wife, there are some new people like Jimmy Shergil etc. The all Characters as AjayDevgn's Family worked very well they served smile and laughter. Overall the movie is watchable and if you arrive late to the movie, don't worry they lead actors and actress only met and starting loving each other so its ok. The real drama starts after interval believe me. So I can easily say director/writer make it lengthy. I was feeling sleepy a bit while watching before interval but after interval the fun ride started. Songs are good and if you are a senti/emotional person then you'll cry a bit that's it. The movies shows the barriers and the rule/traditions of our Society(Samaj) and how the movie gives a message of modern youth/Society to other people of Society. I am not saying the seniors are wrong or youth is, the thing is both are right but ignore the facts and believe in legacy. That's the problem. I have given 6 for 1 hour of Enjoyable Ride.

DE DE PYAAR DE REVIEW :

De De Pyaar De was seeking attention from the trailer itself when we knew a successful name like Luv Ranjan is coming after Super Hit SKTKS. But one doubt was spoiling the mind that he's not the Director this time but just a producer, so were we supposed to trust New Director like Akiv Ali? No, we were not. Keeping the expectations Low for the valid reasons told, has worked on High note for De De Pyaar De as Akiv Ali manages to exceed the expectations by fair margin. DDPD can surely be called a Successful Debut for any Director in this genre. But how much successful? Let's find out.

De De Pyaar De is not a Love traingle but it is pretended to be a love triangle in urban style where sophistication doesn't stand for a long time. It is a story of Rich guy around 45 and a hot young girl of 26 falling in love of each other in London. The guy is Divorced (not actually) who decides that his Girlfriend should meet his Ex-wife and other family members in India before they get married. That Family visit creates fiasco and then lies, cover ups and relationship bond theories are explored. The narrative here is Funny, Entertaining and engaged especially in the first half while the ending portion is bit dragged and unexpectedly slow. The biggest USP of the film is it's Dialogue writing, you get into it at the beginning and you never go out of the Intelligent Conversations until the lukewarm ending arrives. You may remember the Flirting conversation of Ajay and Rakul for some time or might even use some of those dialogues in real life. As an Actor Ajay Devgn is decent, his acting talent deserves better roles indeed, this wasn't it. Rakul Preet looks Hot, Spicy and she is talkative as hell. The most sensible character is played by Tabu and she keeps the sensible act intact. Supporting cast along with Special appearance of Javed Jafferry and Jimmy Shergill will surely receive your love. Music department is fairly good, although some songs appear at the wrong occassions it can't be blamed fully because couple of situational songs lifts the screenplay up.

Coming to the main thing, the writer and the Director of the film Akiv Ali did leave an impact. As a debut Director he surely deserves the credit and therefore some mistakes can be forgiven. He makes sure you don't lose the interest, you don't lose the grin smile on your face, he keep you immersed with the narrative for 100 minutes and then last 20 minutes might not be that tall but again the last scene of the film hits it back to the tempo along with interesting hint on the Sequel. The only thing he lacked was, the Bang On Climax. Luv Ranjan Films had the Climax lifting it up and may be that's why the repeat value was there, here Akiv miss that but he still has guaranteed Hit material in hand. Overall, De De Pyaar De is an Organic Fun ride with special mention to dialogues writing and is surely watchable for the youths, couples and even family members (with lots of beeps). It could have been the 7/10 film but that not so intellectual climax made the difference.

RATING- 6/10*

De De Pyar De - if you were intrigued by the trailer and dismissed De De Pyar De is a mindless comedy, then it's worth a trip to the theatre. This film revolves around a 50-year old man falling in love with a girl half his age and its consequences. The subject is dealt with adept sensitivity by the debutante director Akiv Ali, who keeps the initial flirtation and courting brief, and yet confronts the debate over the future of such a relationship between the couple. When they have made up their mind to proceed with their relationship, it's showtime - introduction to the man's family and orientation is in order, and this is where hell breaks loose.

The storytelling is snappy and lighthearted, but it keeps going back to do a reality check on a number of subjects like midlife crisis, a single mother's pressure bringing up her children, the children's rebellious psychology (I thought that the daughter's reaction was completely the top, lacked civility and was the only sore point), the turmoil of the generation gap between the young girl and the much older man and the genuine efforts to come to terms with reality.

Ajay Devgn is suave, in great shape and gives a rock solid performance swinging between the mature man and a crisis-hit lover. Rakul Preet shines bright in a tailor made role, flaunting sophistication, sex appeal, volatility being branded the "other woman". Tabu hits home her natural flair, delivering yet another confident and superlative role. Jimmy Shergil, Alok Nath, Kumud Mishra and Javed Jaffrey provide adequate support. London and Manali are fantastic as the backdrop of the drama, which you can say won't appeal to the masses generally, on the downside. Catch De De Pyar De for some fun and if you're in mood for some thought provoking moments.
