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...

Do Aur Do Pyaar" might be flying under the radar in terms of marketing, but its impactful plot deserves to be discovered. This emotional roller coaster promises a theatrical experience on the big screen.

The film boasts impeccable performances from its entire cast, taking audiences on a two-hour plus journey filled with depth and emotion. Pratik Gandhi and Vidya Balan shine, stealing the spotlight with their compelling portrayals. Even with limited screen time, Illena and Sendhil deliver noteworthy performances. Thalaivasal Vijay adds genuine emotional depth to every scene he graces.

The plot unfolds slowly and steadily, akin to a live theatre performance translated onto the big screen. While this style might not appeal to everyone, it offers a refreshing change from typical mainstream cinema.

"Do Aur Do Pyaar" attempts to bring Netflix-style content to cinemas, blending depth with entertainment. This film is a must-watch, especially for its outstanding performances that elevate the narrative to new heights.

Interwoven complex mature relationships, this category of movies has a separate fan base & I am not one of them. So as far as my viewing prowess goes, Arth (1982) by Mahesh Bhatt was one of the first of its kind followed by Astitva (2000) by Mahesh Manjrekar but both these were pretty serious movies, but the recent ones are served with a dash of humour (Remember De De Pyar De - 2019) and for this who better than Vidya Balan. She was amazing in the movie & thanks to the team for rendering the classic - Bin tere sanam on some of the grooviest dance steps by Vidya Balan & Pratik Gandhi. Both Pratik Gandhi & Vidya Balan have made this average storyline work just because of their performances. Unexpectedly but on a good note the music and the songs were equally good. Ileana too shines in a short cameo. Would have really worked well for the production house if it was only an OTT release. This is a type of movie which will be mostly enjoyed by couples in their late 30's to early 40's & going through a bit of a turmoil in their existing marriage. An excellent weekend watch with your partner over a cup of cold coffee.

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.

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
