Do Aur Do Pyaar

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...

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.

The concept has been taken from Azazel Jacobs's movie The lover, but only the concept. The Lovers has a tight screenplay around our four main characters in their late 50s. This is an Indianized version with young characters in their late 30s, parents melodrama, divorce n all. Too much is happening in this movie that takes away from the main theme of the movie, dynamics between old-ly wed. More time has been devoted to world building and characters interacting to it, irrespective of if this interaction is directly related to their relationship with each other. Tone of the movie is different than The Lovers and so, the characters reacting to the events is different. Acting of Pratik Gandhi and Vidya Balan is incomparable to that of Tracy Letts and Debra Winger, but good in their respective characters. Recommended to people who like Bollywood masala, and not who loved The Lovers.

*** Do Aur Do Pyaar Hindi Movie Review ***

Directed by Shirsha Guha Thakurta starring Vidya Balan Pratik Gandhi in lead roles. Also starring Ileana D'Cruz and Sendhil Ramamurthy.

A story of an estranged couple's love story - A story must be told in today's time but a weak screenplay thereby detaching from the movie.

A story of a couple who had been married for 12 years had lost touch in their relationship. The movie takes us through the journey of Anirudh & Kavya, their estranged relationship and their extra marital relationship and the movie in the 1st half shows this both phases. At the interval we could see how things goes changing which leads us to the second half of the movie.

The second half shows us their attempt to restart in relationship, detachment from their external love but the screenplay in many areas falls nose dive as after a certain point it's becoming a slow paced & viewers get detached keeping aside the little fun moments.

Performance wise Pratik Gandhi & Vidya Balan gave their best performances. Illeana also done a decent job. Sendhil was a mis-cast.

Songs were blending with the situation.

Overall a topic which had been discussed well but with a better screenplay in 2nd half could have been much more watchable.
