सत्यप्रेम की कथा

Watching OMG2 and this in the last couple of weeks is really making me contemplate my decision of not taking the present Bollywood seriously.

A much needed topic and social message delivered almost perfectly without much overacting or overdramatization in the process. The way the Hindi cinema industry is embracing such non-cliched "hatke" stories not concerning much about the profit or blockbuster status really makes the budding cinephile in me happy.

Not a fan of Kartik Aryan but he really impressed with his acting and justified portrayal of a low wit ordinary boy.

Kiara Advani is exceptional (IMO she is even better than in Shershah) with her range. Her raw acting and expressions in the climax is one of the best I have seen in Bollywood in a long time.

It manages to hit the ball home right from how it slowly builds up to finally culminate in the credits with a strong textual message.

It would be a 4/5 except for the lacklustre dance numbers, few underutilised characters and an awful rendition of Pasoori !!

Will end with quoting Jauhari ji from MiH S2 "lekin aab agar kiske sath aisa hoga toh dhindora peetna chahiye".
