So I started watching this movie on impulse at 1:00AM. And unexpectedly, it was an enjoyable, not a boring watch for 2 hours. It’s a simple movie, shot in Delhi and Panjab (not in exotic locations as that of DDLJ and stuff), it doesn’t have superstar cast, and it is not complex like Jab tak hain Jaan (though I love JTHJ, more on that sometime later).
Best scene of the movie is the very convincing monologue by Humpty to Kavya’s father. He accepts that he is way less than Angad (Kavya’s fiancé) in every aspect. Angad is rich, highly educated, body builder, does not drink, a kind of guy who every father wants her daughter to get married to. He admits that Angad is a big tree and he is a plant, chota sa, phuddu sa. He has many imperfections, but one thing he guarantees is that he will immensely love Kavya.
“Bandey perfect nahi hote, rishtey perfect hote hain."
No one is perfect in this world, rather than accepting the fact, isn’t it that people try to change themselves? Become a better person, but don’t change yourself for someone. During one scene, when Angad doesn’t come for jogging and Humpty comes, Alia’s father says Angad does not come for showing off. Humpty says he comes for Kavya, not for showing off. When he is asked why doesn’t he leave smoking, he says he can learn the good qualities of Angad bur cannot change himself.
“Kavya ke liye main better insaan ban sakta hun, lekin badal nahi sakta.”
The movie also talks about our inability to control the results of our actions. In one dialogue the grandmother says
"Aaj kal rab ka apne bando pe control nahi raha, tu kisi ki kismat kya control karega."
We don’t want to leave control of our life but do not understand that consequences of what we do are out of control from us.
Kavya’s character is that of a modern girl, who does small frauds, drinks a lot, (“Tu bottle sunghta rahega, aur meri khatam bhi ho jayegi”) But she is good at heart. When she and humpty cheat a woman for money and she gets her marriage jewellery, she return is with a sorry. She is practical. Even though she falls in love with Humpty, she is ready for arrange marriage. And she would have even married Angad if Humpty would not have come to Ambala.
Finally, it’s a story of true friendship as well. Humpty, poplu and shonty are like best friends who get beaten by goons for their friend and are always with him. They do not judge each other’s choices, even if they are inappropriate. I mean which friends will give you money for buying a 5 lac lehenga for a girl who is not even your girlfriend.
In the end, some nice dialogues:
“Friend request bheju to despo, nahi bheju to attitude. Bhai, bhola ladka kare to kya kare.”
“Peene ke baad insaan out of control ho jata hai, dimaag ke badle dil se sochne lagta hai. I like to be in control.”
“Kuch rishton ki umar hi choti hoti hai.”
“100% original fake hain ji."
