Shuddh Desi Romance is a movie which is real, with all its complexities and confusions that’s the best part. Keeping the morality aspect out of the window, Jaideep Sahni (Chak De India Fame) has penned down a story which is socially so relevant.

Raghu Ram (Sushant), is a man with his own inhibitions about marriage and related issues absconds on his wedding day leaving Tara (Vaani).

Cut to, as time passes he enters into a relation with Gayatri (Parineeti) who ditches him on wedding day, a girl with similar marriage inhibitions. Cut to, Taara takes an entry in Raghu’s live again. Only to make matters more complex Gayatri too returns in Raghu’s life.

Go and watch the movie to see how this complex puzzles unravel.

The best part about Shuddh Desi Romance is its script & lyrics by Jaideep Sahni. He penned it down with utmost honesty that, he broke the myth given every situation it’s not necessary that you should have a perfect logical reason for doing it. The ending bus scene between Taara & Gayatri just depicts this, where in Taara do not have logical reason for leaving Raghu which she openly admits. Be it the characters their dilemmas, confusions, blunders and conversations Jaideep has kept it all real.... kudos for him.

Coming to the director Maneesh Sharma (Band Baaja Baarath Fame) had done perfect justice to the script. He brought novelty to his character’s which is commendable. Parineeti,Sushant & Rishi Kappor have done an amazing job. But for me the show stopper is Vaani Kapoor who is so fresh and all relaxed with her role.

Credits to the music duo Sachin-Jigan for some amazing foot tappers, watch out for title track at the end, with a zest of Rajastahni zing, it’s here to stay for some time. Lastly, to cinematographer for showing the pick city so beautiful and en excellent presentation of the song “Gulabi”, double thumbs up.

There is nothing negative for Shuddh Desi Romance, except for a fact that the older generation might not relate with it.

It doesn’t matter go for it…in the end you get to see what you do (Wink….Wink)
