Shuddh Desi Romance
Critic reviews and ratings
-
This film is a dose of adrenalin.
-
...a gutsy attempt that defies the stereotype.
-
...a super fun film.
-
...a fun-ride. Watch it for Parineeti and Jaideep Sahni. This kind of acting and writing need to be encouraged.
-
...there's never a dull moment in Sahni's penetrating jibes and whimsical trifling, which strives to convey a simple but underrated philosophy in the most fun way possible -- marry because you want to, not because you must.
-
reinvents the wheel as far as Bollywood rom-coms go. It's aggressively non-formulaic, and gives us characters who refuse to conform. The minor hiccups notwithstanding, this is a charming little film.
-
The concept is engaging, but the plot is little shudd, little desi and quite confused.
-
It's light, it's unconventional, it's still Bollywood, and it breaks the fourth wall in more ways than one. Ignore the hiccups, and there's no reason you won't enjoy it.
-
...most certainly a watchable film.
-
An absolutely engrossing shaadi caper for starters which fizzles out into a shallow sermon on the institution of marriage, or the lack of it.
-
Refreshing, light, breezy and engaging...
-
One of the bravest, boldest films Yash Raj Films has ever made.
-
...packs a brilliant concept of modern day relationships in a garbled and repetitive packaging.
-
...with all its zeal to be pertinent, comes across as rather random.
-
Post-interval, there's a discernible dip in energy, and the film gets stretched and contrived.
-
A good attempt at looking at romance from a 'confused perspective'.
-
When a subtle writer’s work is filmed by a subtle filmmaker, maybe we end up with too… understated a product. A little brashness isn’t out of place in a love story...
-
It’s brave all the way and bouncy up to a point, beyond which it just gives up.
-
The big disappointment of Shuddh Desi Romance is writer Jaideep Sahni. Known for scripts and screenplays that retain efficacy of storytelling with commercially viable Bollywood elements, here is non-committal to making his characters fleshy or believable. The director and actors don’t rescue the fragile boat.
-
An utterly charming romantic comedy.
