De De Pyaar DeDirector Akiv AliActors Ajay Devgn Rakul Preet TabuRatingThis films opening sequence should count as an incredibly smartrealistic update on that standard old Bollywood scene The heroine Rakul Preet in this movie after a drunken night wakes up nude in the heros bedhome It appears that they couldve slept with each other Or at least the heroine as with the movies back in the day think DDLJ instantly assumes that they did But rather than feeling guiltshame over the proverbial loss of izzat she just wants to ensure that the guy doesnt make a big deal of it insteadIts just sex or a onenightstand she wants him to knowmdashnothing more What follows is also movies best oneliner questioning the idea of fidelity as its been traditionally accepted Ek baar sone se pyaar ho jata hai Toh ek baar sone se pyaar kho kaise jaata hai Do you fall in love the only time you sleep with someone Then why does one assume you have altogether fallen out of love with someone because you once slept with someone else Especially referring to the early scenes because that usually sets the tone for the rest of a film Or at least thats what one presumed going by this pictures promos or at least being aware of the basic plotAjay Devgn plays the lead role and his own age for once Hes 50 The girl is I guess 25 Superstars older than Devgn have probably been with women much younger The lead couple in the film lives in London where I cant imagine anyone furiously batting an eyelid over such a match You might wanna know more about how an adult mature urbane relationship of this nature might pan out with its own quirks and plausibly fresh groundrules You wait rather expectantly R Balkis Cheeni Kum 2007 also starring Tabu then 35 interested in Amitabh Bachchan then 64 worked along those lines Likewise this is supposed to be a romantic comedy And there is no way to pull off that genre without a certain level of subversionAnd yet some films just seem to have a switch on their timeline from whereon things just go downhill thereafter For me its again an early moment in this movie when Singham plays in the background score Devgns hattakatta character impresses the young girl beating up a bunch of goons on the street She is floored Not that the rest of the script has much to do with that scenemdashit shifts to India Just that things simply go adrift into a territory that filmtrade folk might call UPDelhi PunjabNot talking about songs and dance That has its own place The film just stops being about a relationship let alone romance or comedy Its almost like the filmmakers are certain the intended audience wont connect much with such a youngold love by itself in a single screen theatre Well if you think they cant take it then why make it All stories one can argue starts with the fundamental question What if The underlying theme or starting point here appears to be What if a 50yearold man having consensually separated from his wife briefly returns home among his kids and father and mother etc Frankly didnt know thats how this old man and the khichdi was meant to flow Well now you do Even if I did What if I didnt care Certainly didntWatch the trailer of De De Pyar De955 AMTop entertainment stories of the dayKangana Ranaut slays like a boss in a black pantsuit at Cannes Grey Goose PartyDe De Pyar De Movie Review Old man and the khichdiCannes 2019 Priyanka Chopra looks like a goddess in an ombre sequin thighhigh slit dressCannes 2019 Deepika Padukone is a vision in white thighhigh slit gownCannes 2019 Kangana Ranaut nails the saree and opera gloves look with panacheTiger Shroff Danceoff with Hrithik Roshan will be toughFrom Bharat to Kyrgyzstan makers plan a worldwide releaseAditya Seal Didnt draw comparisons between SOTY 2 and AvengersDe De Pyaar De review Ajay Devgn Rakul Preet Singh Tabus film not a regular romcomVir Das Want to visit as many cities as we canCatch up on all the latest entertainment news and gossip here Also download the new midday Android and iOS apps to get latest updates
