Here is a love story. It doesn't end here as the story do have something
different to tell unlike the usual Bollywood love dramas. Dum Laga Ke
Haisha is not the typical love story that we see very often. It has
something fresh to say. Had some more care been taken with the second
half and also with the predictable climax, this film had everything in
it to scale greater heights. Even then, this Sharat Kataria directed
film is a decent entertainer, a small but beautiful film narrating a
story that breaks the conventional love story mould and definitely one
you should not miss.
The story revolves around Prem Prakaah and Sandhya hailing from a small town of Haridwar in North India. Prem much to his dislike and some extreme pressure and force from his parents marry Sandhya. The thing here is that Sandhya is overweight physically and Prem find it unable to accept her as well her physique. Sandhya on the other hand loves her hubby so much expecting the same from him in return which sadly do not happen. Ultimately they are on the verge of divorce. Will they separate ways or can the young couple sort their differences and reunite? That's what rest of the movie is all about.
The first half here is the real crux of the movie and is really exciting and entertaining. But the same level of energy is lacking post intermission and the story goes very predictable especially how things all end up. The film is very short in duration and less than two hours but even then some trimming of unwanted scenes in the second half would have done good for the film. All these doesn't make DLKH a bad film. It is a highly watchable and entertaining movie that has something different to tell.
Ayushman has delivered the results and as Prem he makes the character look natural and real. Sanjay Mishra, Seema Pahwa and Sheeba Chaddha are the notable actors who were spot on with their simple acting. But the one who really stole the show from the rest is Bhumi Pednekar portraying Sandhya. For a newcomer she was more than perfect in every sense and her onscreen chemistry with Ayushman really worked positively for the movie.
Beautiful cinematography and simple background score do help the film. Music play a very prominent part and Anu Malik has done a nice job. It was heartening to see Kumar Sanu making a comeback and singing few songs. He also makes a cameo appearance towards the end.
Overall, Dum Laga Ke Haisha is a well crafted film that show how relationship can get a change for the better. A good entertainer with its heart at the right place, I go with three and a half out of five and recommend it for your weekend movie masti.
Rating - 3.5 / 5
