Do Aur Do Pyaar

This movie is a romcom with a difference in the sense that the lead couple Kavya ( Vidya Balan) and Aniruddh ( Pratik Gandhi ) have been married for quite some time ( beyond the seven year itch ) and they now find that the fun, romance and spark are no longer there. ( Years earlier they had dated, fallen in love, eloped and got married ) . Now on a rebound they get involved with outsiders, she with Vikram ( Sendhil Ramamurthy) a foreign based photographer and he with Rosie a budding actress ( Ilena D'Cruz) and both are able to keep it a secret from each other. Due to an unexpected turn of events during a visit to Ooty they gradually become attached to each other once again after many years and after some time realise the futility of engaging in extramarital affairs.

Director Shirsha Guha Thakurta has made an interesting movie. The plot is fairly appealing but what makes the movie quite watchable is the realistic unfolding of the narrative, the relatable plot, the acting and the intermittent bits of humour which makes sitting through it an enjoyable experience. Normally marital issues in movies deal with conflict and distress but this one focuses on the lighter side of the manifestations of marriage. The everyday happenings in the life of a young married couple like the bickering, the arguments, the disagreements etc are all depicted in a humorous way. This makes viewing the movie a pleasant experience and one does not get bored. Both Pratik and Vidya have shown great chemistry in the scenes and have pulled off the humorous scenes with panache.

I am 22 and I have never been in any kind of relationship ever but I don't why but it felt so good watching this movie. Seeing two persons who got so entangled in their life that they forgot how good it was being together. But when they slowly get that time back re living those moments it really brings a smile it really does I hope I can live such moments with my partner and about the ending where they still go to different routes I am a bit conflicted on how to feel of this but I am glad they didn't took a safe ending and left it to the audience to interpret it Overall a really good watch in our daily busy life

FAVORITE CHARACTER :: PRATEEK GANDHI (BOTH ACTORS NAILED IT) FAVORITE MOMENT :: EATING NOODLES LIKE THEY USED TO.

A cheesy rom-com is quite common in any industry, but a mature love story is a rare scene. This falls under the latter category and has done justice to quite an extent.

It is the story of a couple who have been married for five years and are cheating with other partners as they have given up on each other. One evening, their love sparks again, and they fall in love with each other once more, but now they are in a dilemma.

Vidya Balan in the lead is a treat to watch. She handles her character with a lot of grace and quirkiness that you can't help but fall in love with her. Pratik Gandhi gives a decent performance, but as a Bengali character, he still sounds like a Gujarati, which is not ideal. The chemistry between Vidya and Pratik is literally not there, which is a big letdown. Ileana D'Cruz is a breath of fresh air and handles her part with a lot of grace. Sendhil Ramamurthy is brilliant in his portrayal of an NRI and shines throughout.

The story of getting bored in a marriage and seeking love outside of it is very common, and it is handled well by Shirsha Guha Thakurta. Despite being an innovative plot, you can guess the ending from miles away, which diminishes the overall experience. The songs aren't that great either.

The writing is a bit weak as it stays on the superficial level of the relationship and doesn't really make you root for the characters. As a result, viewers miss that emotional connection. It can be watched once, but there is nothing to boast about. #pranureviews #DoAurDoPyaar #DoAurDoPyaarReview.

All the emotions, the witty exchanges, the petty arguments; it all felt incredibly authentic.

The storyline was simple, but it was a refreshing departure from the typical romantic tales we are so accustomed to.

The director excelled in capturing the dynamics of long-term relations, showcasing the nuances of married couples who have been together for over a decade.

Kudos to the actors as well, especially Vidya and Pratik, for delivering outstanding performances on their end which embodied the essence of a lifelike 'couplets'.

Having said that, the ending left a void, The final 25 minutes to be specific, were chaotic, lacking in consistency and tonal balance, which thereby disrupted the flow of the narrative, it leaves a lot to be desired.

If only it had taken a different turn...
