Akaash Vani

One of my suggested me to watch it and after downloading this movie long back in 2018, I've managed to watch it in 2021 Pandemic time. Interesting isn't it?

So basically after watching this entire movie I can simply tell you all that it's a kind of Okeyish type movie (like not that impressive, not that worth praising as well). It's a love story of 2 young college buddies who definitely belongs to 20s era and wanna live there life king-queen size, but have strict parents (strict in the sense ki just Society oriented). Ahhhnnn I don't wanna tell you the plot here. Let's move on to the next section.

The acting performance of the leading characters are like pretty average, but I will rate them good because it's 2013 movie and at that time Nushrat and Kartik had just started their careers.

Other supporting characters also acted decent not that worth remembering.

Overall I wanna complete my analysis regarding this movie and gonna rate it for 5 out of 10 Stars, and I'll warn you to avoid watching it with family, because it's plot is not like that family-friendly and some intimate scenes also present between leading protagonists.

Before going for this movie I casually asked one of my friend if this is going to be another long romantic 'Notebook' type melodrama. Well he wasn't sure and a few hours later I was more sure of it. Lets not compare the two since the stories and setup is very distinct. It all started very promising with seniors asking the two main characters propose each other on their first day at college. Even after that it had some lively scenes involving the two protagonist like the the laundry room scene which actually got me all excited about it's prospects. I was even cracking up hearing some insanely good dialogues which were well accommodated with the movie feel. But these moments of magical experience were somewhat like beep sound in a family show on TV.

The first thing that really irked the hell out of me and this might be personal choice is the use of so much colour. It was like someone was bombarding colour balloons on the screen from behind. The clothes, mufflers, furniture even the walls had different colours, ghastly!!. The movie is also splayed with many still moments of hammy romance. I can watch Pacino or Aamir Khan eye his villain for any amount of time but replace the setting and mood with two good looking characters (hardly) emoting their love to each other, I perhaps will got to sleep in the next few seconds. I know that some of you aficionados of romantic movies will tell me that I am drunk and for my own convenience should go home and read Shakespeare. I get it, but that doesn't rule out the fact that the movie became quite lethargic after the first hour. It had it's moments but compared to the many dull moments I had to sit through, it was testing my patience.

The movie in fact imbibes very noble message, but it finds it difficult to carry the good along with it. The editing in this movie is very poor, it could have been easily a 2 hour movie. The songs and music is below par but bearable. Moving on to the cast, the two actors share a deep chemistry after their known first film. Nushrat Bharucha is superb in showing her skills throughout the movie. In another world this would have been a tailor-made female centric movie, hers to take. Kartik Tiwari does great initially with some lively moments but I have doubts when it comes to serious scenes. Luv Ranjan may have hit a homerun with Pyar ka Punchnama but in this movie, he falls short.

I wouldn't recommend it if you don't like mushy romantics, others can take their chances if you have nothing to do.

If not awesome, i will call this movie an almost successful attempt of pointing out the problems of small town lovers. Just to make things clear, a small town love is way different that what we know about growing up in cities. And the lovebirds there are more of love-fugitives. Coming back to the movie, it starts well with college romance with some kool dialogue sequences. Then we have the on-the-verge-of-growing-up decisions. And then we have the dramatic outcome of the decisions. and an OK ending after an expected climax. These points used to be enough for movies to be a blockbuster. But wait, who is talking about 70s here. Movie is just OK for people who understands and have been in love. But on the other hand, it can be a disaster to one who does not give it a thought. I will still give it an 8 for the story and some nice tunes. Alert, you may fall asleep several times if you are not that into love and all those stuffs. ;)

Such good potrayal of real social problem prevailing in our society. Life need to be celebrated not suffocated.

Very very nice movie. A nice depiction of what happens when two people don't blend in a marriage. This is the story of so many girls who compromise everything for happiness of family and in the process, they tend to lose their individuality, their freedom, their happiness. It is not really supply words but emotions, affections speaks it all. i love the story.... it is amazing!!!!
