Story
Kaustabh
Chougule
AKA
Kosty
(Riteish
Deshmukh),
a
divorce
attorney
is
struggling
to
come
to
terms
that
his
spouse
cheated
on
him
and
refuses
to
divorce
her
in
order
to
seek
revenge
from
her.
He
suffers
from
OCD
and
amid
his
ongoing
messy
divorce,
hooks
up
with
online
dates
while
struggling
to
let
go
of
his
wife.
On
the
other
hand,
Nirali
(Tamannaah
Bhatia),
a
psychologist-cum-matchmaker
believes
in
bringing
people
together
despite
her
own
'unhappy'
love
story.
Soon,
she
shifts
into
a
shared
office
space
which
also
co-hosts
Kosty.
The
two
lock
horns
over
their
habits,
the
office
smells
and
bicker
about
each
other
to
their
respective
close
pals.
"Opposites
se
mat
bhaago.
Zindagi
perfect
nahi
hoti
hai
naa
hi
log.
Aise
log
chuno
joh
saath
rehkar
imperfections
ke
saath
aage
badhe,"
Nirali
is
seen
advising
one
of
her
couple
clients.
Koustey
who
eavesdrops
their
conversation
softens
a
bit
post
that.
The
friction
between
Nirali
and
Kosty
soon
gives
way
to
sparks.
But
will
their
respective
pasts
soon
catch
up
with
them?
Direction
Director
Shashanka
Ghosh
who
has
helmed
films
like
Khoobsurat
and
Veere
Di
Wedding
in
the
past,
picks
up
the
theme
of
'opposites
attract' and
builds
a
story
around
it
against
the
backdrop
of
the
millennial
hustle
culture.
Unfortunately,
it's
the
lazy
screenplay
coupled
with
clichéd
storytelling
which
makes
this
rom-com
plain
boring.
Ghosh
simply
fails
to
bring
any
novelty
to
the
hate-love
troupe
in
his
film.
Some
of
the
characters
are
half-baked.
Rajat
Arora's
dialogues
sound
more
like
Whatsapp
forwards.
The
filmmaker
might
have
had
hefty
ideas
on
paper
but
that
just
doesn't
translate
on
screen.
Also,
the
film
deserves
a
'boo'
for
one
of
the
most
shoddily-shot
makeout
sequences
in
recent
times.
Performances
Riteish
Deshmukh
tries
to
do
justice
to
his
poorly-sketched
character
with
his
charm.
At
times
it
works,
at
times
it
doesn't.
Nevertheless,
his
comic
timing
in
a
couple
of
scenes
helps
you
sail
through
the
film.
Tamannaah
Bhatia
looks
resplendent
in
every
frame
and
gets
a
few
good
moments
for
herself.
While
Riteish
and
Tamannaah's
standalone
performances
are
just
passable
enough,
the
couple's
chemistry
is
just
fizzle
on
screen,
simply
because
the
makers
barely
develop
any
scenes
between
them
where
we
connect
with
their
emotions.
Poonam
Dhillon
gets
the
loudest
cheer
when
we
see
her
dressed
in
a
shimmery
outfit,
shaking
a
leg
to
her
own
hit
song
'Tu
Tu
Hain
Wahi.' Kusha
Kapila
ends
up
in
a
wasted
role.
Technical
Aspects
Jaya
Krishna
Gummadi's
camera
work
captures
the
urban
vibe
of
the
film
quite
well.
Shweta
Venkat
pulls
off
a
decent
job
on
the
editing
table.
Music
The
songs
of
Plan
A
Plan
B
suffer
from
run-of-the-mill
lyrics.
Some
catchy
music
in
the
film
would
have
definitely
added
some
spark
to
this
film.
Verdict
"Yeh
pyaar
hain
Diwali
ka
sale
nahin.
Logon
ko
online
sales
ke
cart
mein
add
kar
kar
ke,
checkout
pe
faisle
nahin
hote.
Shaadi
hain,
pyaar
hain,
rishte
hain,
yeh
sab
zindagi
bhar
ke
liye
hota
hain
and
this
needs
your
input,"
Tamannaah's
character
Nirali
explains
at
one
point
in
the
film.
One
wished
that
Shashanka
Ghosh
and
the
writers
had
taken
some
cue
from
their
own
dialogue!
