One Word Review - PATHBREAKER
Once in a while there comes a movie which is dedicated to a particular group of people. ELKDTAL is such a movie which focuses on same-sex couple and throws light on positivity, acceptance and most importantly LOVE.
The story starts with Sweety (Sonam K Ahuja) a girl from Moga, Punjab being subjected to matchmaking by her family members especially her brother Bablu (Abhishek Duhan) & dad (Anil Kapoor). Sweety meets Sahil Mirza (Rajkummar Rao), a struggling writer in Delhi and Sahil fells in love with her at first sight and goes down to Punjab along with Chatroji (Juhi Chawla), her "so called" friend and struggling actress as a suitor without knowing that Sweety likes him or not. It is then that Sahil gets to know that Sweety is not in LOVE with him but a girl named Kuhu (Regina Cassandra). How things pan out and what happens when the family knows about it marks the further story of the movie.
The movie starts with a very breezy feeling giving you the opportunity to build up the story ahead. Juhi Chawla & Anil Kapoor reunites on silver screen after 18 years but still their chemistry and comic timing is perfect and upto the mark. They make you smile in the moments they share screenspace. Juhi Chawla in particular gives a "mind-shattering" performance and a scene-stealer. Rajkummar Rao is impressive in his looks and he lives the character. Sonam K Ahuja who has maximum screenspace unfortunately fails to deliver a good performance as her dialogues doesn't seem to be comprehensive enough. On the other hand, South actress Regina does a great performance in the limited screen time, she acts quite convincingly. Duhan as Sweety's brother is another performancer to look out for. He has portrayed his character with sheer brilliance.
Kudos should go to Director Shelly Chopra Dhar along with writer Gazal Dhaliwal for such a attempt. To portray LOVE on screen is easy but a kind of LOVE which is difficult to accept in this modern society is comendable. The movie focused on the point which says LOVE is LOVE and is not based on any gender, race, caste or any other factors. It starts from the heart and ends to the heart and should be accepted whatever gender, race, caste it may be. A lovely movie made with a pure heart deserves a watch. A movie which will prove to be a turning point in Indian cinema & also society by such topics and acceptance all over the world.
