Review of the movie Luka Chuppi: Kartik Aaryan launches this funny tour

The film by director Laxman Utekar describes his subject straightaway by showing us that "living in" is still a poorly seen practice in India, a small town. Nadeem Khan, a star-cum-youth icon places the cat among the pigeons when it inadvertently makes a comment perceived as promoting practices that go against the "Bhartiya Sanskriti", etc. Interestingly, life relations have already been described in such urban films as Arth, Salaam Namaste and even one in a small town- Shuddh Desi Romance but only intermittently.

Luka Chuppi is also a small town story taking place in Mathura and Gwalior, its chief protagonists, Guddu (Kartik Aaryan) – an intrepid journalist for a cable news channel and Rashmi (Kriti Sanon), budding journalist out of an unpredictable chain of events when they decide to opt for a life relationship. With enough means to counter the Sanskriti Raksha Manch's opposition to the residency relationship, the scene is ready for the start of the romantic antics of Rashmi and Guddu. With the help of his camaraman Abbas (Aparshakti Khurrana), they set in motion a series of comical events that make up the bulk of the film.

In real life too, the subject has been the subject of numerous investigations throughout India, in the context of leading publications but remains a socially ambiguous territory. However, Rohan Shankar's scenario only scratches the surface of the question and its many repercussions: the thugs who blacken the faces of young romantics or criticize them for political gains and, of course, the Chinese whispers he unleashed. The different points of view on the subject are considered (almost literally) through the lens of people.

Keeping things on the surface, the writer slips into a Guruji recounting parallels of mythology. like the love story of Radha-Krishna and an old dadi who claims that she has not tested her husband before marriage! However, given the propensity of the public for all that is light, we understand why Shankar would have opted for the path of comics and did well. Where it fails is to go beyond the obvious to reinforce the comic element in various scenes. Some key characters are underwritten – especially Babulal played by Pankaj Tripathi and as a result, punches do not land as effectively. Fortunately, history allows for many comical situations – the curious neighbor sniffing the scent of a scandal or the young nephew capitalizing on his knowledge of a large secret – being among them. The main cast deserves mention for intensifying and possessing the characters with enthusiasm. Aparshakti Khurana embodies the hero's friend with great conviction, Vinay Pathak, the father of the bride who strongly opposes life relations for political gain, is brilliant and even Pankaj Tripathi dressed in bright colors for showcasing buffoonery makes you smile.

Moving from Bareilly to Mathura, Kriti Sanon has more confidence as an actress and is certainly one of the leading actresses to watch. But it is Kartik Aaryan, who, if the film behaves well in room, will mark its success. After successful pbadages in comedies such as Pyaar Ka Punchnama and the recent Sonu Ke Titu … Aaryan is creating his own identity among young actors with a yen for comedy and this one could go a

Laxman Utekar, is a welcome addition to the list of directors looking to explore different stories – and with Luka Chuppi it's obvious that he's here to stay . Between the world of big metropolitan cities and villages, there is a wide range of small towns teeming with stories waiting to be told. This film speaks of such a story. Despite its flaws, Luka Chuppi has the potential to create a genre around the live film number that in India was an elephant in the play.
