De Pyaar Quick comment: Misogyny does not make you laugh

From the beginning During his career, Luv Ranjan was accused of serving an anti-feminine sentiment in the name of comedy. So, it seems that Ranjan thought it was just justice, he took a step forward and normalized misogyny by turning women against each other. With De De Pyaar De, the screenwriter-director is ashamed of two women (Rakul Preet Singh and Tabu), all for a man (Ajay Devgn).

Ranjan, who wrote this comedy drama, of course wants us to believe that even in 2019, it is fun to objectify and shame women for their appearance, their age and their relationship choices. He also wants us to believe that no matter how much a woman becomes independent and endowed with power, even in 2019, her existential crisis depends only on the presence and absence of a man in her life .

So, while we have Tabu who mocks Rakul's Manju Aisha for falling in love with her ex-husband, Ashish (Ajay), who is 20 years older than her, makes him ashamed of # 39 to be "purani gaadi jiski maintanence karwani padhti hai". De De Pyaar De, directed by Akiv Ali, the beginner is shamelessly filled with problematic and dated typing lines that, according to Ranjan and Ali, are funny. Except they are not. This is actually one of the problematic movies of the '80s and' 90s, which had more color than depth in stories and performances.

Ajay Devgn seems to be bored throughout the film. Rakul Preet, whose Aisha is one of the best-written characters, is impressive. It is unfortunate that his role ends up falling prey to Luv Ranjan's skewed idea of ​​a young modern woman.

Tabu, whose motivation to make the film remains a mystery, again uses the art of minimizing to his advantage and becomes the only reason De De Pyaar De becomes slightly interesting. Unfortunately, the film beats with its tiring length. In one of the last sequences of the film, an exhausted Manju shouts to members of his family, asking them to shut up. This is not very different from the emotion felt during De De Pyaar De.
