Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya - Review

06:24 Entertainment 0 Comments

The story line is the usual one experimented in the hit movie, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge except for the fact that Simran is replaced by Kavya who is a chirpy girl from Ambala and Raj is replaced by a shabby boy Humpty from Delhi. The first half revolves around their falling in love when the girl goes to Delhi to look for a designer lehenga for her marriage and the second half is summed up when the boy in order to win the father's heart comes all the way from Delhi to Ambala just like the DDLJ plot. The main drawbacks of the movie if compared to the other are the acting skills, emotions and music. Jatin-Lalit had done a superb job in crafting the evergreen music of DDLJ. Humpty Sharma does not have much to offer apart from two good numbers one of which is a part of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's album 'Main tennu samjhava ji' and 'Saturday Saturday'. But I must not take the credit away from the newbies, Alia Bhat and Varun Dhawan who have done a decent job in regards to their individual roles in the movie. I did have high expectations from Ashutosh Rana who was not much effective in the entire movie. He played the role of a strict father which wasn't too convincing for the audience specially by an actor of his stature. The extras in the movie did an average job but the role played by Shiv of Balika Vadhu lacked spark. He had very few dialogues and his presence apart from his first look, could hardly leave an impression. On the other hand, the actors who played Varun's friends had a well-crafted role in the movie with a few funny dialogues and scenes we could laugh at. All in all, the movie is a one time watch and would be fun for the usual Bollywood movie goers. Alia and Varun look good in their desi avatar and both the actors were able to bring out their potential as good actors for Bollywood.
