Plan A Plan B

Directed by Shashanka Ghosh, Penned by Rajat Arora. Premiered on Netflix from September 30th. . Starring Ritesh Deshmukh & Tamannaah Bhatia in lead role.

A story of a match macher and a divorce lawyer. Sounds interesting & it feels more interesting when we see both of them working in the same workspace so that a couple who finds a perfect match eventually doesn't have to fetch a divorce lawyer when its just opposite to the match makers office.

Tamannaah playing the character of Nirali who runs the match making business & Ritesh as Kaustubh Chougule a divorce lawyer just takes us through the changing trends of marriage concept.

Implanting a back story in each one of the lead characters life, it shows us again that a love lost person can find a love again which we saw in the movie "Raja Rani "directed by Atlee or a person handling his/her divorce or a divorced person should not feel bad if they come across a person who is compatible to them. Life is not over by one failed relationship or by a broken marriage

Overall, a topic which we often now seeing in our society taken in a different way of storytelling.

Tamannah & Ritesh had done an ok kind of performance.

This movie is supposed to be a romcom but there is hardly any rom or com in it. It suffers from an indifferent screenplay, some lackluster and cheesy dialogue, few ridiculous situations and generally below par acting. As strong headed characters both Riteish Deshmukh and Tamannah Bhatia apparently do not have any understanding and hence the scenes lack warmth. The movie is a damp squib to put it mildly and some portions of the film are difficult to sit through. Riteish is a divorce lawyer and Tamannah is a family counselor and both are at loggerheads professionally and personally. Their scenes of professional rivalry shown are crude, childish and cringe worthy and the comedy falls flat. Some scenes lack logic and conviction. A scene in which the volunteers are blindfolded and asked to sniff out compatible partners using their sense of smell is outrageously bad. The jokes are either crude or bland or both. Both Riteish and Tamannah are disappointing big time in poorly written roles which are not convincing at all. Poonam Dhillon does what she can in a comic role as Tamannah's mother and does not impress. The lesson for the director is that you can't make a good film on weak written work. Overall it is a disappointment.

The trailer itself was not impressive at all but i started watching this film because of Riteish Deshmukh after so long in lead. I was mighty disappointed.

The film has absolutely no story at all. It's all about boring "unfunny" conversations and after 1 hr i just did not understand where the film is heading to and wherever it is going, it is taking the most boring route ever. As i said, there are few jokes here and there and none are funny .

Imagine a film being just 100 mins long and still you are using half the time trying to desperately get invested in it but can't . Lots of sex and woke modern day words used that don't make any sense.

I do not know what happens in the next 1 hr of the film. I do not want to know also .

Tamannah Bhatia cannot act and after a trash Babli bouncer last week, she yet again fails in this one trying to be little funny sour kinda lady . Ritesh tries hard to be funny but can't help save the film.

Shashanka Ghosh 's last film i watched was Veere Di wedding starring Kareena Kapoor in 2018 and by God it was so boring , still i managed to watch 80% of it but not full and yet again this film plan a plan b could not watch full, this time only 50%.

Overall, this isn't even a time pass film. If you are looking for quality content, even then this is not the film for you. Strictly avoid.

Plan A and Plan B is good in bits and pieces Its worth one time watch

Some scenes are foolish while some scenes are good while some are bad Poonam dhillon is good, its entertaining to watch her good comic timing despite without good dialogues

Direction and Editing is sloppy specially in the begining 20-30 min, after that it picks up to a decent Good watch

Ritesh role is limited few Repeated expressions, Tamannah has a lengthy meaty role and she is good but again in some scenes she looked forced and trying hard

All in All its a fine experience, its not at all a bad movie!

Its Family movie with a good social message on relationship Its kind of rom com.

Songs - Really bad (You can forward them in Netflix)

The story is nice n straightforward, you know what to expect. The banter is nice to watch. Best part is no unnecessary frills in the movie.

Kusha Kapila - Bad acting Tamanna Bhatia n Riteish Deahmukh - Decent Poonam Dhillon - Slightly over.

It tends to get a little slow towards the end but then you can fast forward things in Netflix 😂 The movie doesn't have much of a rewatch value, but it's definitely a one time watch. RD was nice in the movie n TB looked nice as well. The chemistry towards the end seemed a bit "held back". I don't remember any of the dialogues, so nothing worth remembering maybe.
