SatyaPrem Ki Katha Movie Review – Filmfare
3.0/5
SatyaPrem Ki Katha begins off as a wealthy woman meets poor man romance. It ticks all of the packing containers of the usually repeated components. Then after the interval, it turns severe and segues into psychological well being territory. It is Sameer Vidwans’ homage to such movies as Woh Saat Din and Mouna Ragam, which depicted love blossoming between two people who get married regardless of having nothing in widespread however then discover a manner ahead on account of circumstances.
Satyaprem (Kartik Aaryan) and Katha (Kiara Advani) meet one another through the garba jalsa in Ahmedabad and sparks fly. The fly within the ointment is that she has a boyfriend. A yr later, he learns that she had damaged off together with her beau. When he comes to satisfy her, he finds she’d tried to commit suicide and rushes her to a hospital, saving her life. Impressed by his unselfish act and trustworthy methods, her father, who runs a well-liked sweets store, needs to marry her off to him, regardless of Satyaprem not being employed and belonging to decrease financial strata than them. Katha initially would not need this compelled marriage however later agrees. She’s uncomfortable with sleeping with Satyaprem and makes use of his behavior of loud night breathing loudly as a way to keep away from that. However the reality is way deeper and bitter. Katha has been a sufferer of date rape and therefore funds herself in a psychological block about sexual relations. It takes some time for Satyaprem to search out that out. As soon as he does so, he realises that as an alternative of attempting to consummate his marriage, he ought to first attempt to win Katha’s coronary heart. How he goes about doing so kinds the crux of the story.
The movie has its coronary heart firmly in the correct place. Date rape is a criminal offense which hardly will get reported. Victims are stopped by their very own members of the family from submitting an FIR fearing public humiliation. Worse, ladies blame themselves for moving into such a state of affairs and do not simply come out of the tragedy. It takes a harsh toll on their psychological in addition to sexual well being. Prefer it’s proven within the movie, they can not bear to be close to any man, not to mention have intercourse with him. An enormous quantity of counselling is critical to assist them return to regular. And, after all, love and acceptance of members of the family is essential as nicely.
The movie reveals a believable situation the place the ladies of the household are supportive of Katha’s plight whereas her father and father-in-law each discover themselves repulsed by it. Fortunately, her husband is woke sufficient to grasp the idea of date rape and helps her totally. The movie ends with the optimistic notice of Satyaprem encouraging Katha to file an FIR towards her rapist and promising to face agency together with her by thick and skinny.
The place the movie slacks is the modifying. It is too sluggish for its personal good. And the dramatic affect of a number of scenes will get diluted on account of inept transitions. Music is one other let down. A romantic movie wants songs which you’ll take residence to, however that is not the case right here. One would not have minded the movie having no songs in any respect, as they eat into the runtime. Additionally, the director ought to have toned down on the melodrama, as an alternative of dialling it up unnecessarily.
The supporting forged, comprising Supriya Pathak, Shikha Talsania, Siddharth Randeria, Anuradha Patel and Gajraj Rao are all reliable actors and have introduced their A sport to the desk. It is unhappy to see Rajpal Yadav doing bit roles as soon as extra. Let’s hope higher occasions prevail for him. The movie’s leads, Kiara Advani and Kartik Aaryan, present nice camaraderie on display. They arrive off as a troubled couple, attempting to set issues proper. Director Sameer Vidwans creates an environment of hesitancy, of awkwardness between them. And the actors too play off one another and shine in these scenes. Kiara Advani and Kartik Aaryan each have extra to do on this movie than their different releases and present a willingness to push the envelope, trusting the director’s imaginative and prescient.
All in all, SatyaPrem Ki Katha is a love story with a distinction, because of the trigger it espouses. No means no. Watch the movie for its highly effective message and for the chemistry between Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani.

3.0/5
Story: It’s love at first sight for Satyaprem aka Sattu (Kartik Aaryan) the minute he sees Katha (Kiara Advani), an attractive and aspiring singer from an prosperous Gujarati household in Ahmedabad. However their love story isn’t so simple as Sattu would have imagined.
Assessment: A failed legislation examination, no job or pals and fixed jibes from his maa -behen (as he likes to deal with them) at residence – Satyaprem’s life is way from ideally suited 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 pal, 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 stunning Katha, who in addition to being manner out of his league, additionally has a boyfriend, who’s equally wealthy. However Sattu finds a ray of hope when his gossipy father often known 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 search 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 concerning 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 number of the best skills 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 stage, which is laborious and will get caught in a loop of repetitive conflicts. Author Karan Shrikant Sharma throws in a couple 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 very best 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 enjoying the simpleton Sattu, who believes in calling spade a spade as a result of ‘sach bolne se pehle sochna kya’. There isn’t a denying that enjoying a relatable boy-next-door is Kartik’s core power 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. One way or the other, it’s endearing, and sits nicely along with his character of a dim-wit loser. Kiara Advani has a harder function 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 fantastic and restrained efficiency in a posh function, by far the very best of her profession. Director Sameer Vidwans and his author give their ladies a voice, by exhibiting us an unconventional Ahmedabadi middle-class household the place the women not solely run the home but in addition make sure that the lads are nicely 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 fits squarely towards the very core of the movie’s message. However even with such uneven dialogues, the battery of proficient character actors like Gajraj Rao, Supriya Pathak and Siddharth Randeria carry out their elements with full conviction. Rajpal Yadav is totally wasted in a cameo that had an enormous potential to deliver good comedian aid. The movie’s music (Manan Bhardwaj and Payal Dev) blends nicely with the narrative and is sort of melodious. Cinematographer Ayananka Bose captures the essence of Ahmedabad’s cosmopolitan, but standard vibe fairly fantastically.
The movie’s music (Manan Bhardwaj and Payal Dev) blends nicely with the narrative and is sort of melodious. The recreated model of Shae Gill and Ali Sethi’s OG Pakistani chartbuster ‘Pasoori’, sung by Arijit Singh and Tulsi Kumar that has sparked an argument, doesn’t depart any lasting affect.
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, nonetheless, it tends to take the extra emotional route than an entertaining one.
