Directed by: Shelly Chopar Dhar
Written, screen play and dialogue by: Gazal Dhaliwal
Stars: Sonam Kapoor, Anil Kappor, Juhi Chawla and Rajummar Rao.
Producer: Vidhu Vinod Chopra
Rating: 3 stars
It looks like yet another Punjab-based comedy about big weddings and eligible girls, but the trappings have been kept in place to comfort an easily offended audience while selling them on the big idea of accepting a same-sex relationship. Sweety (Sonam K Ahuja) runs into Sahil Mirza (Rajkummar Rao) at a theatre in Delhi and for him, it’s love at first sight. While at that point she is running away in a chase, he decides to pursue her and shifts base to Moga, Punjab. Once he proposes to Sweety, the story unfolds as he finds out that she is in love with somebody else.
The fact that it brings a still niche subject like homosexuality, to a mainstream movie, is one of its strengths. Thankfully, the progressive theme and emotional quotient of the movie, help it rise above a screenplay that lacks sheen.
