4/5
Not all Bollywood movies demand you to keep your brains at home. Often, a well-made, yet fun movie demands you to keep your brain active and running while you watch it. Luka Chuppi is just like that. It makes you think about quite a few hard-hitting issues, while bringing a smile on your face spontaneously, and that too a number of times.
Dinesh Vijan has done a wonderful job yet again, with the majority of the cast of Stree, along with Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon. The best part about the movie is the team- when you have good actors like Atul Shrivastava, Pankaj Tripathi, Vinay Pathak, and Aparshakti Khurana, you already get the audience hooked. Also, when you deal intelligently with issues that matter, the connection with the audience is a cake walk.
Guddu is a news reporter who falls in love with Rashmi. Guddu wants to marry Rashmi, but she wants to live-in with him first. Situations make them live-in along with the family?! Now, what do you think will happen when a stereotypically conservative family finds out they are not married?
Dialogues like “Dusre grah se nahi aaya hun pandit ji, bas musalman hun (I have not come from another planet, I’m just Muslim),” and Dharm warm sab chunavi mudda hai, youth ache se janta hai, use rojgaar, pakka makan, aazadi aur free wifi chahiye (Discussion on religion etc. is just an election stunt, the youth knows that well. All that they want is a job, a house, their freedom, and free wifi),” touch upon matters that we all want to talk about, and yet are not spoken enough.
This movie intelligently outlines the issues that the youth is dealing with, and leaves with a note of positivity and a feel-good high.
Don’t miss this one.
