Roti Kapda Romance

With the number of buddy movies already out there, it's hard for a Director in 2024 to create a buddy film that actually engages or offers something new.

#RotiKapdaRomance is a movie that has loads of pleasant surprises in store, spread right through the film. The young actors are earnest and have distinct personalities, each of which different viewers will relate to. The humor is great, as are the emotional moments in the second half. Interestingly, while several such movies end up stereotyping genders, this film ties things up pretty neatly, giving each character a relatable, comprehensible closure - a tough act with four couples, each with a very different arc.

A special word for Supraj Ranga, a terrific new find. It's rare for a young actor in his first film to act as naturally as he does. He gets a lot of the punchlines, which he lands perfectly. And when he does break from his funny repartees and gets emotional (watch out for the scene in the restaurant in the second half), your heart goes out to him. Look forward to seeing a lot more of him!

Go, watch this little gem of a film with your friends. You'll walk out with a smile. :-)
