Director: E Nivas;
Rating: *
Cross-border tensions are extrapolated
through a love story between an Indian Sikh girl Asha(Yami Gautam) and her
Pakistani Muslim fiance, Aman(Ali Zafar). They are all set to get married so he
has to meet the parents first(no one talks about her meeting his parents)-
after all this is an Indian film. To top
that scenario both reside in London. He is a struggling musician with a few cult hits
under his belt and she is a well-established TV presenter. The fact that they
want to ‘meet the parents’ knowing that it’s gonna cause mayhem, beats me.
Screenwriter Neeraj Pandey contrives a
screenplay out of incidents inspired from a Spanish film "Seres
Queridos", with a similar theme about a Palestinian boy and his finacee’s
conservative Jewish family. The bickering are routine. The anger and
misbehavior are rooted in cultural clashes and the trifling with relationships
based on uninteresting farce. The setting , London, renders all the commotion rudderless. It’s not a space where Indo-Pak relations are
at a perennial boil. Given the cultural mistrust in thier respective home
countries, it’s hard to imagine the couple actually seeking acceptance from
their respective folk. The humor is also missing bid-time. The haplessly
contrived situations pile on the misery!
