'Kho Gaye Hum Kahan' Review: This Gen Z Tale Is Smart & Full of Heart – The Quint

Chaturvedi and Panday too dish out commendable performances regardless that it appears like one thing we’ve seen them earlier than; this is perhaps one in every of Ananya Panday’s finest acts. The vulnerability in her eyes makes you virtually need to step in and defend her – even when it by shouting ‘No, don’t choose up his name!’ In distinction, Imaad’s insistence on denying himself the house to be weak feels each relatable (or possibly that is one thing to debate in remedy) and pitiful however in a model nearer to empathy. 

Kalki Koechlin makes an look in one thing much like what the Zoya Akhtar cinematic universe has given her earlier than. Her efficiency is arresting as all the time however she finally ends up turning into a kind greater than a personality. Digital camera in hand, she is engaged on a chunk on ‘People of Tinder’, and says issues like, ‘We is perhaps extra linked now however we’re lonelier than ever’.

On the identical time, the dialogue writing in Kho Gaye Hum Kahan doesn’t all the time disappoint (it really works 80% of the time). Typically when screenwriters attempt to write Gen Z conversations, the characters are handled like their total lexicon consists of ‘slay’ and ‘yaas’. However the conversations between Imaad, Ahana, and Neil really feel eerily genuine; I really had one of many conversations they did proper earlier than I put the film on.
