Luv
Ranjan
Bromance
vs
Romance!
Oh,
a
situation
that's
quite
relatable
to
most
of
us,
isn't
it?
Bestie
falling
for
someone
and
you
shaking
your
head
as
a
dismissive
'No' for
your
friend's
choice.
Most
of
us
have
been
through
such
a
situation
at
some
point
in
our
lives.
Luv
Ranjan's
latest
outing
Sonu
Ke
Titu
Ki
Sweety
derives
largely
from
such
tug-of-war.
Like
Pyaar
Ka
Punchnama
and
Pyaar
Ka
Punchnama
2,
the
director
may
be
guilty
for
his
portrayal
of
skewed
gender
balance
here
too.
But
what
works
in
his
favour
that
there
is
no
false
pretence
built
around
the
film.
Remember
Vidya
Balan's
famous
dialogue
from
'The
Dirty
Picture"?
"Filmein
sirf
teen
cheezo
ke
wajah
se
chalti
hai
...
entertainment,
entertainment,
entertainment"
and
Sonu
Ke
Titu
Ki
Sweety
does
just
that
for
a
runtime
of
about
140
minutes.
Chaddi
buddies
Sonu
(Kartik
Aaryan)
and
Titu
(Sunny
Singh)
are
friends
thick
as
thieves
with
Sonu
being
the
dominant
one
in
their
equation.
Be
it
matters
of
the
heart
or
anything
else,
Sonu's
saviour
complex
always
comes
to
Titu's
rescue.
Enter
the
perfect
'bahu
material' Sweety
Sharma
(Nushrat
Bharucha).
Cupid
strikes
and
Titu
decides
to
get
hitched
to
this
charming
lady.
But,
Sonu
is
convinced
that
'yeh
naa
too
good
to
be
true
waala
scene
hai'
and
digs
deeper
only
to
realize
that
there's
more
to
her
that
meets
the
eye.
Will
Sonu
be
successful
in
knocking
some
sense
in
Titu
who
is
already
floating
high
in
love?
Kartik
Aaryan
took
the
internet
by
storm
with
his
angry,
comical
rant
about
manipulative
girlfriends
in
the
Pyaar
Ki
Punchnama
series.
The
snippet
clicked
with
the
Indian
males
who
saw
themselves
in
Kartik's
character.
In
Sonu
Ke
Titu
Ki
Sweety,
Kartik
plays
yet
another
relatable
part
and
pulls
it
off
with
a
magnetic
charm.
The
actor
shines
even
the
emotional
moments.
'Main
heroine
nahin,
villain
hoon'-
Hard
to
imagine
these
lines
go
down
with
the
affable
Nushrat
Bharucha?
Sonu
Ke
Titu
Ki
Sweety
might
just
burst
that
bubble
for
you!
As
the
devil
with
the
horns,
she
throws
in
a
sweet
surprise
and
is
totally
on
fire
with
her
warring
opponent
on
screen.
Her
verbal
sparring
with
Kartik
heats
up
the
moment
with
sizzles
all
around.
Sunny
Singh
as
the
meek
Titu
too
pulls
off
his
role
convincingly
and
gets
his
own
'shining'
moments.
But
his
chemistry
with
Nushrat
lacks
a
certain
spark.
Those
who
have
been
on
staple
of
'Sooraj
Barjatya'
films,
'Baabuji'
Alok
Nath
is
here
to
give
you
a
culture
shock.
He's
everything
else
except
'sanskaari'
and
mind
you,
this
time
he
isn't
keen
on
doing
a
'kanyadaan'!
Special
mention
for
the
actors
who
play
the
extended
family
and
add
more
'ha-ha'
to
your
bouts
of
laughter.
On
the
flip-side,
there
are
a
few
loose-ends.
For
example,
the
director
skips
to
explain
us
the
reason
behind
Sweety's
meanness.
Also,
the
film
drags
a
bit
in
a
few
portions
and
could
have
been
a
little
more
crispier.
Sudhir.
K.
Chaudhary's
cinematography
works
fine.
Talking
about
the
film's
music,
the
recreated
version
of
Zack
Knight
and
Jasmin
Walia's
popular
number
'Bom
Diggy
Diggy'
is
going
to
be
your
party
song
for
the
weekend.
Dil
Chori
is
also
a
foot-tapping
number.
But
the
real
surprise
is
'Tera
Yaar
Hoon
Main'
which
beautifully
plays
out
an
emotional
moment
and
tugs
your
heartstrings.
Sonu
Ke
Titu
Ki
Sweety
is
all
about
fun
and
spunk
that
doesn't
tell
you
to
take
itself
seriously.
It
is
miles
away
from
highbrow
cinema.
Grab
that
popcorn
bucket
and
make
way
for
this
one
with
your
close
pals.
This
one
is
dedicated
to
all
the
'Sonu's
and
'Titu's
out
there!
