Review of Shiddat

Shiddat (2021)
7/10
Stalker, desperado, lover in action
10 October 2021
This one is for the hopeless romantics who like to hear and believe in stuff like " I will climb the highest mountain to reach you " or " I will swim across miles of the deepest sea to get to you " or " I will fight everyone, everywhere to be with you for ever and ever". There is also a message coming across in the movie that love can exist in a long distance relationship and it may be missing in a loveless marriage.

So we have a crazy, obsessed lover boy Sunny Kaushal who is besotted with pretty lady Radhika Madan and he stalks her all the time. He is all passion (Shiddat), full of energy and refusing to take "No" from the girl. Despite knowing that Radhika is getting married in London, he entreats her to cancel this marriage and wait for him. Like many of the illegal immigrants who take to sea/ land/ air routes to get into the land of opportunities, Sunny also does likewise, but gets caught by the law. But not to be deterred, he continues to make desperate efforts.

Director Kunal Deshmukh has a difficult script in his hands but he converts it into a watchable film for Indian audiences. Could he have reduced the film by 30 minutes and made it better? Yes, undoubtedly. It sags at places.

Sunny Kaushal has a complex role to perform which gives him a chance to showcase different shades of the character and he does it well. Radhika also acts well as the hapless girl not knowing how to handle the tricky situation.
