“Pyar ka punchnama” starring lesser known first time actors , directed by (?who) Luv Ranjan is a thoroughly enjoyable movie for guys & strictly avoidable for gals. Movie is misogynistic, dogmatic & strongly opinionated with overt generalization of male-female love relationship. Like the title conveys, the writers have attempted at a “post-mortem” of relationships a male & female can have viz., romantic, friendly & casual. But they have done it in a one-sided manner blatantly obscuring the views of the opposite party.
Whatever it is , movie is fun while it lasts. While watching the movie one can’t but silently laugh at oneself for almost all of us must gone through one incident or other depicted in this movie. Though movie is replete with conversations on & on, the dialogues are a peach with lots of meaning & enjoyable at the same time. Though the screenplay drags a bit in the second half & one wishes for the movie to end soon, on the whole it is a funny ride.
Movie is shot in a casual manner & director managed to keep it as authentic as possible. Everyone can identify with the characters for those are the ones we come across day in & day out in our lives. That director has managed to achieve this is in itself a great achievement & this makes the viewers to get to like the characters straight away. And one gets into the movie right away for the prelude sets the tone for things to come.
Divyendu Sharma as the demure Liquid alias Nishant is first rate in the role of a guy who had never had any relationships in the past falling for the manipulative & exploitative Charu (played well by Ishita Sharma) who is already in a steady long distance relationship. Though he gets annoyingly tame towards the end his character is the most lovable of the three male lead characters.
Next in the honour list is Nushrat Bharucha as the nagging Neha who makes the life of Rajat (Karthick Tiwari who is first class in the role of the innocent boyfriend) miserable . She has acted so well that after a point of time one gets so annoyed with the character that one wishes someone would slap her & make her mouth to shut. If any character can bring about so much of negative emotions on the viewers it’s this one , kudos to Nushrat for that.
Others in the cast Raayo Bhakhirta & Sonali Sehgal have also done well.
Cinematography by Sudhir K Choudary is slick & glossy. He captured the interiors of the habitat of the lead characters well with suitable lighting.
"Ban Gaya Kutta" written & performed by Luv Ranjan is a rocking number though the lyrics are chauvinistic.
On the whole , “Pyar ka punchnama” is strictly for all those guys who has been in , is in & will be in a relationship . Gals please do skip it or watch it at your own risk.
Bottomline : All single guys out there , reason why you should stay single..!
3.5 / 5
