This made me reassess the rumours of Farhan Akhtar ghost directing most of Zoya's films
, else how do you make such a shoddy film after garnering so much acclaim.
Red Chillies photography, colour schemes & frames were on point, music was ok, dialogues were lame.
Zoya directed a 2.5 hr long showreel to parade around Shweta didi ka ladka who redefined the term blandness, it was as if, it would kill Zoya if she won't show Agastya in every 2 minutes or put the focus back on him over the others, it's Reggie's big confrontation scene with his father Archie has to tag along & give his deer caught in headlights expression
Jughead ki speech hai Agastya take over karega, Dilton ka invention hai Agastya explain karega. Vedang ka song hai Agastya front centre mein rahega.
The level of insecurity reminded me of Alia-Kalank faux pas
As for the others, sorry but Khushi looks AI generated to me, still better than Jahnvi imo
Suhana is plain bad in every way that counts. Dafuq was that SRK trademark sad pout she was trying to do. Dot was decent, her hairstyle though
. Mihir as Jughead made the Archie scenes funny n bearable. Yuvraj & his thank you was cute so were all the the Dilton-Reggie scenes. It was also kinda nice to see Tara Sharma, Koel Puri & Vinay Pathak after so long.
The star of the movie is obviously Vedang Raina, my eyes kept roving back to him
he has a very charming screen presence, good looks, promising acting & dancing skills. But more than that like I said you can't help but pay attention to him over others. Hoping he gets good opportunities there's a serious dearth of young actors.
All in all one time watch for cinematography and Reggie buoy.
Btw has any movie based on environment related topic done well? Coz I really doubt
