![]() He has been protective about his friend all the time. ![]() This time he has taken a challenge, to show us the fight between girl vs friend! Sonu (Kartik Aaryan) is a best friend of Titu (Sunny Singh) since school. Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety doesn’t have that, nor is it funny.Luv Ranjan is famous for his so called realistic movies on youth like Pyar Ka Punchnama 1,2 and AakashVaani. The one thing that worked for Pyaar Ka Punchnama films was the relatability, even if it was restricted to guys-only discussions. Saxena plays Alok Nath’s old friend and even with limited dialogues, he manages to keep the sequences interesting with his restrained acting. Though his dialogues are also gender-biased, the novelty of watching Alok Nath in a non-sanskari garb can be fun. Alok Nath shuns his sanskari image and dons the avatar of a cool granddad. If there’s one fresh or slightly entertaining thing in the film, it is the pairing of Alok Nath and Virendra Saxena. Right from Sonu asking Titu to get a better cook or maid instead of getting married to Sweety to threatening her with false cases, the script and dialogues reek of misogyny that even the two Pyaar Ka Punchnama films couldn’t bring together. The filmmaker wants us to believe she is a good-digger, with the ‘gold-digger’ song playing in the background, but the story offers nothing to substantiate the claims.įrom pulling an ex in the fight to manipulating family members, Sonu does everything you can imagine in a saas-bahu fight (or maybe watch in a TV serial) in his bid to separate Sweety from Titu. While the character is unreal, the only mean thing she does in the entire movie is to tell Sonu that she is ‘chalu’. Not only is he insecure of ‘losing’ his friend, he even believes Sweety is too good to be true. He only has Sonu to save him from the assaults the womankind has decided to wreck on him.Įnter Sweety (Nushrat) via the arranged marriage route and Sonu’s life is shaken to the core. We are soon told, through a few more similar throwbacks to Ranjan’s past films, that Sonu runs an event management company and his friend Titu (Sunny) is an idiot who hooks up with all the wrong girls and doesn’t even realise they are fooling him. The film opens with Kartik aka Sonu delivering a Pyaar Ka Punchnama-style speech only he is talking about the illogical demands of a client. Yep, this would be perhaps the first misogynist attempt where even a man has been objectified in the process. It is the story of a girlfriend and a friend fighting over the ‘possession’ of a man. Luv Ranjan - of Pyaar Ka Punchnama fame - is back with his team of actors, Nushrat Bharucha, Kartik Aaryan and Sunny Singh, and a new film, Sonu Ki Titu Ki Sweety. Have you met or heard of similar characters in real life? At least I haven’t. For, here’s a young guy who has no clue what he wants in life, a childhood friend who turns into Lalita Pawar-style mom-in-law every time he spots a girl near his friend, and a woman who claims to be ‘chalu’ but does everything that suits the bahus of a Sooraj Barjatya film. I sincerely wish the disclaimer is 100% true for Luv Ranjan’s Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. Bollywood films often begin with a disclaimer where filmmakers claim the story and characters in the film have no connection with any real person or incidents.
