Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas review: Karan Deol leaves zero impact

Question: Would anyone other than a fond papa have launched Karan Deol?
Short answer: No.

The perfectly pleasant, perfectly unremarkable Karan, son of Sunny, gets a traditional old-school ‘hero’ launch in Pal Pal Ke Paas. He gets to romance a young woman, shake a leg, fight off a bunch of baddies, just the way his father and grandfather did, in their own eras, in their own love stories. But unlike those two worthies, Dharam who is still ‘garam’, and Sunny who can still roar, this youngest Deol leaves zero impact.

Sunny Deol could not believe Dharmendra’s reaction to Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas
Karan Sehgal runs a resort in the mountains, and his star offering, a high-altitude trek becomes a snarky target for pretty video blogger Seher Sethi (Bambba). The two young things, who call each other Miss Sethi and Mr Sehgal, chopper off towards tough trails and choppy waters to rappel down steep cliffs, catch fish, cook it on campfires. And so on and so forth.

The scenery is spectacular, but the humans are plain annoying: what kind of experienced trekker takes on a screechy female who insists on packing her soft toy in her backpack? Yes, it’s that kind of movie. And no, it’s not cute.
In the first half, the locations are the eye-ball grabbers. In the second, gabby family members, jealous boy-friends, plotting politicos, and sundry others show up. Coochie-coo-ing switches to melodrama, and it’s all stale and off-putting. The girl is just a tad better than the boy, but just a tad, and at the end, all you feel is dispirited: is this really 2019, and this a here-and-now love story?
