I am finding it amusing that I am recommending a movie based on two loafers. It has a well-written story, and a cast that looks the part. The movie has been shot in Delhi, and I could recognize many places shown in the movie. The dust-laden feel of the city has been captured well.
Two boys have flunked their XII Std. exams repeatedly and yet are keen on entering one of the best colleges in the city. Another boy wants to shift from his correspondence course and study at a proper college - it happens to be the same college. The fourth character has studied at this very college and spends time there making music.
I liked this song based on an old Punjabi folk song. It made me think of my long-forgotten desire of picking up Punjabi.
When the struggling musician needs money for his father's operation, his estranged girlfriend (who is a Professor in the same college) steps in to help him and rather effortlessly at that. This, when he has let her go because she asks him to get more serious about their relationship and he chooses music over her. There is a gem of a scene when he starts to fill out a form and the letters get smudged immediately.
There is a remark made by the lead character played by Pulkit Samrat - "I like mature girls. Pata hai, meri girlfriend mujhse badi hai." It made me smile, for I have heard it in real life as well.
As for the character played by Manjot Singh, there are some hilarious moments involving his Bullet. The policeman makes a remark on the sound of the Bullet, and I agree. Even a non-rider like me can recognise THAT sound anywhere.
The best performance in the movie is by Bholi Punjaban (Richa Chadha). Watch it for her.
