With Harish Kalyan's recent choices being among the best, I caught up with this one, only to be largely disappointed.
Two colleagues plan to marry, but the bride-to-be suggests a family trip to bond with her future mother-in-law before deciding. The journey reveals tensions, fosters understanding, and strengthens relationships.
On paper, this might have promised a rollercoaster of emotions sprinkled with comedy, but sadly, not even a fraction of it translated on screen. The basic plot of taking a trip to bond was interesting, but what unfolds on the trip-and another trip after that-is ridiculous at best. The entire forest sequence makes you cringe, leaving you to wonder how it even got approved.
Harish Kalyan looks the part and performs well in a role that isn't particularly challenging. Ivana is decent, but her character could have been written better. Their chemistry was lackluster, which is a major letdown for a rom-com. Nadhiya, a seasoned actor, excels as always, especially in the Goa sequences. Yogi Babu's extended cameo was the worst, with the absurdity of the script taking center stage.
The songs merely add to the runtime and fail to leave an impression. Despite the stunning locations, the cinematographer underutilized them, leaving the visuals lackluster. What works, however, is the mother-son relationship, which has a relatable charm.
This film is best avoided, as it fails to do justice to either romance or comedy.
