Mumbai: In 'Pyaar Ka Panchnaama' and ' Pyaar Ka Panchnaama 2', he entertained us with stories on the flip side of love and relationships where men were at the receiving end of the flippancy of the women. In 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety', director Luv Ranjan brings to viewers a fresh take on love and relationships with an element of 'bromance' thrown in between. 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety' is a story about two brothers from another mother, Sonu (Kartik Aaryan) and Titu (Sunny Singh) and Sweety (Nushrat Bharucha), who acts as a spoiler in their relationship.
Titu is the ‘sanskaari' boy while Sonu is a street smart guy who is aware of all the tricks of love.Everything is fine in life of Sony and Titu till Titu’s family starts finding a suitable girl for him.Sonu, who has been his best friend at every juncture of Titu’s life and who has found a family in his parents, is now scared of losing him to a girl. The film is about the happenings among the trio of Sweety, Sonu and Tutu.
The film seems to be an extension of the two films in the 'Pyar Ka Panchnaama' series in that the director delves at length on the 'flippant ' and crafty nature of women in relationship with men.For instance, the film shows Sonu indulging in attempts to paint Sweety as greedy and one who is after Titu's wealth.Infact , attempts by Sonu to paint Sweety as greedy leave the audience laughing in the aisles. As the director, Luv Ranjan gives us another hilarious romcom after the 'Pyar Ka Panchnaama' series.
In terms of performances, Karthik Aryan is clearly the best of the lot. After his monologue in 'Pyar Ka Panchnaama 2', Karthik again impresses with his comic timing. He also manages to look quite hot in the film, which is likely to leave the female audiences drooling over him.As the 'sanskaari' Tutu, Sunny Singh comes across as the 'epitome of innocence' with his 'innocent boy' look evoking a sharp laugh among the audience.
As the greedy Sweety, Nushrat Bharucha does an excellent job. She exudes the required style and attitude for the role.Others like Alok Nath and Virendra Saxena too impress, especially with their ability to evoke laughs.The music of the film is another USP with many foot tapping songs. Hitesh Sonik’s background music is another highlight and carries forward the story.'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety' is another hilarious romcom from Luv Ranjan with brilliant performances by the cast.
Rating: 4/5: one for brilliant performances, one for direction, one for music and one for story.(UNI)
