Days of Tafree

#DaysOfTafree is a stupid college campus movie about a group of youngsters with no concrete aim in life. they waste their time and their parents' money, loiter the whole day, have no respect for values and deserve to be kicked in the butt. the long duration of the movie is an added insult. rating 2/5.

'Days of Tafree' written and directed by Krishnadev Yagnik is a movie which takes us back to the good old college days and makes us want to relive those golden days.It is an official remake of the Gujarati film 'Chello Divas'. The story revolves around the lives of seven friends in the last year of their college.It comes with the tag line 'In class or out class'.

Among the seven friends,Vicky (Ansh Bagri) is a carefree,funny,and happy go lucky guy who finds great pleasure in annoying the people around him and also happens to be suffering with verbal diarrhoea. Nikhil (Yash Soni) plays the role of a sweet,responsible and smart guy who is deeply in love with Pooja (Nimisha Mehta). Suresh is the dope guy who is always made fun of for his looks and the the fact that he hasn't gotten himself a girl since the past 3 years. He is considered as the loser.Daljeet aka Dhulla is the macho guy who never lies or smiles and talks very occasionally but his presence lightens up the atmosphere.

The movie is not very appealing.It lacks depth and a strong plot.The humor is dry and flat.The scene between Pooja and Nikhil on the 'Guns and roses' day where he tries to propose to her and the 'Coffee scene' where a girl breaks up with her boyfriend over ordering a coffee are impractical and pointless.The dialogues were below par.You might think that the music makes up for the dull plot but that doesn't not happen either. There is nothing to keep the viewer hooked on and you attimes end up forgetting the names of the characters.The first half of the movie is chucklesome but the second half feels dragged making the movie too lengthy and boring.

However the cinematography is applaudable and so are the performances of the newbies. The romance between Nikhil and Pooja is beyond cute and could be one of the reasons for one to be hooked on to the movie. Dulha,the serious guy takes the audience by surprise with his unusual love towards Isha(Anuradha Mukharjee)

Overall,the movie cannot be termed as a 'must watch'.It is a timepass movie and one need not bother spending their time and money on it and is certainly not a family movie. With the release of a blockbuster like 'Pink' last week by Rashmi Sharma Productions the standards one has before entering the hall are extremely high but 'Days of Tafree' fails to impress us and is a big disappointment.

Humorous, great movie, new comers did good job, keeps you holding

Remake of a wildly popular Gujarati film called "Chhello Divas" (2015), this comedy can be best termed as a time-pass affair, if that makes sense.

A group of friends are inching towards their final college days and have vowed to go out with a bang. So, they plan a cultural event which the college has never seen before. The story essentially follows these friends as they end their college life with uproarious fun.

Trying to be like Pyaar Ka Punchnaam (2011) and its 2015 sequel, the film is a collection of jokes and literal translation of memes that you find on social media and WhatsApp. Low quality humor combined with unfunny slapstick is what there is in the first half. Although, the plot tries to fool you with a tragic incident in the first 10 minutes, you know it's a gimmick, and it becomes clear when you realize that there is no story whatsoever, and the characters here are just fooling around. What the characters do does not look least bit realistic. Enough to test the patience of an informer viewer, who would ideally think twice before going for a movie which has such an obnoxious title.

The second half gasps for humor as the characters cross their threshold, and eventually settle for cheap, sexist jokes to quench the audience's thirst. The cast performance is average, to say the best, and by the time you walk out of the hall, it's doubtful you will remember any of these characters or their dialogues.

BOTTOM LINE: Krishnadev Yagnik's "Days of Tafree" is an attempt to cash in on the success of the original film, but unfortunately is so average, you cannot call it a whole film. How about you read the summary and forget the film? Watch on TV.

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? NO

Just finished watching Tafree! This is by far the best movie based on college drama and friendship in this era. Very well written and directed by Krishnadev Yagnik. The story keeps you fixated throughout. There is not a moment it questions you why your watching the film. It revolves around the life of seven college students, the friendship they share and their lives. It rightly depicts how things actually happen in college. It takes you back to college life and down the memory lane, from jokes to events, from fights to friendships, from breakups to relationships, it is a blend of both humour and emotions. Keeps you laughing most of the time, and when the emotions hit you, they hit right through. The characters are very well executed by the cast, specially 'Dilgit' was fun to watch. It's just the right amount of drama and a very honest approach in making the movie a true college story and they have succeeded in doing so. Overall a very cute, honest, funny(very funny) and a heart touching movie. Kudos to the team. A great watch for everyone & I must say a must for college students.
