What’s hot?
Do Aur Do Pyaar is a refreshing tale and brings a much needed break from the heavy dose of action thrillers. Pratik Gandhi plays the role of Aniruddh – a man drenched in burden of responsibilities, paying EMIs and more. But let us tell you that he is the heart and soul of the film. He wins you over with his flawless acting chops and nuanced performance. He so seamlessly blends into the character that it is difficult to take your eyes away from him. He is loaded with emotions but has a quirky side that makes you smile. Vidya Balan, as always, is her best. She’s Kavya who is struggling with tons of emotions towards her husband, father and a lover. She has this spark that lights up the screen. The chemistry between Vidya and Pratik Gandhi is so natural and beautiful to watch. Especially their drunken dance on Bin Tere Sanam amidst a funeral is just too good. Yes, Pratik Gandhi can dance too! Ileana D’cruz as Nora has a decent role to play. Sendhil Ramamurthy plays Vikram. He is a famous photographer who finds his muse in Kavya and he suits the role well. There is enough of comedy to tickle your funny bones. The first half of the film will make you laugh hard. The bits and parts of the film will drive you down the nostalgia lane and remember your first crazy love.
What’s not?
The only problem with Do Aur Do Pyaar is that the second half of the film is a bit stretched. The writing could have been more crisp and that’s all.
Verdict
Do Aur Do Pyaar is a sweet film to watch over the weekend with a tub full of popcorn, especially for married couples.
