Satyaprem Ki Katha Movie Review: Kartik and Kiara’s prem katha is more cathartic than entertaining – TOI Etimes
Story: It’s love at first sight for Satyaprem aka Sattu (Kartik Aaryan) the minute he sees Katha (Kiara Advani), a stupendous and aspiring singer from an prosperous Gujarati household in Ahmedabad. However their love story isn’t so simple as Sattu would have imagined.
Evaluation: A failed regulation examination, no job or pals and fixed jibes from his maa -behen (as he likes to handle them) at residence – Satyaprem’s life is much from perfect however that doesn’t ever dim his toothy smile that he wears so confidently, it doesn’t matter what. His father (Gajraj Rao) is his solely good friend, who understands him. He eggs him on when his son falls head over heels for the primary woman he units his eyes on – a strikingly lovely Katha, who moreover being method out of his league, additionally has a boyfriend, who’s equally wealthy. However Sattu finds a ray of hope when his gossipy father referred to as Panchayati Kaka brings him the excellent news that Katha’s prem kahani together with her boyfriend has ended for good. Armed along with his smile and unconditional love for Katha, Sattu marches on to admit his like to her, with out bothering to seek out out the explanations for her breakup. And that’s when a brand new chapter opens up in his doomed one-sided love story for the woman, who’s harbouring a giant secret.
Revealing something greater than this in regards to the plot can be a sureshot spoiler. However let’s simply say that Satyaprem ki Katha isn’t the form of movie that you’d’ve anticipated it to be from what you noticed within the trailer. Removed from a rib-tickling comedy that includes a few of the most interesting abilities from the world of Gujarati and Hindi cinema, this movie is hard-hitting, poignant and delivers a powerful message. The movie falters on the screenplay degree, which is laborious and will get caught in a loop of repetitive conflicts. Author Karan Shrikant Sharma throws in a number of socio-cultural comedic punches, taking swipes at typical Gujarati households and their staple meals like dhokla, khakra and gota. However the total theme of the movie is dedicated to driving residence a social message. Whereas doing so, the narrative typically drags with scenes that don’t make the most effective use of the skills at hand.
Kartik Aarayn as soon as once more wears his coronary heart on his sleeve and flashes his pearly whites far more than required whereas taking part in the simpleton Sattu, who believes in calling spade a spade as a result of ‘sach bolne se pehle sochna kya’. There isn’t any denying that taking part in a relatable boy-next-door is Kartik’s core energy and he does it with immense ease as soon as once more. It’s really easy to root for him even when his Gujarati accent is all over. Someway, it’s endearing, and sits effectively along with his character of a dim-wit loser. Kiara Advani has a harder position to painting right here. Katha’s story has an unstated emotion that must be understood and the actress will get the accent and the texture of the character spot on. Kiara delivers a high-quality and restrained efficiency in a posh position, by far the most effective of her profession. Director Sameer Vidwans and his author give their girls a voice, by displaying us an unconventional Ahmedabadi middle-class household the place the women not solely run the home but in addition be certain that the boys are effectively conscious of the deeply non-patriarchal dynamic. However, there are additionally dialogues like ‘aap pe aise sau baidiyan qurbaan’ as Sattu tells his father, which matches squarely towards the very core of the movie’s message. However even with such uneven dialogues, the battery of gifted character actors like Gajraj Rao, Supriya Pathak and Siddharth Randeria carry out their components with full conviction. Rajpal Yadav is completely wasted in a cameo that had an enormous potential to carry good comedian aid. The movie’s music (Manan Bhardwaj and Payal Dev) blends effectively with the narrative and is sort of melodious. Cinematographer Ayananka Bose captures the essence of Ahmedabad’s cosmopolitan, but standard vibe fairly fantastically.
Satyprem Ki Katha is pushed by its want to evangelise and provides a message. The topic does transfer you and leaves you with a lot to consider, nevertheless, it tends to take the extra emotional route than an entertaining one.
