Lets give credit where it shud be. Making Dhanush portray a tamilian and an authentic portrayal of the culture is laudable. This is exactly what we wanted from movies like meenakshi sundareshwarar
@Heartthrob Goswamy Maybe we're conservative, but have voiced out LGBTQ+ rights so many times. We have Gods representing the community and have a week long festival dedicated, conducted and participated by Transgenders. Besides, what made you think Dhanush played an LGBTQ+ role in the movie?
@Heartthrob Goswamy first of all for trolling dhanush u used respected community...it means respect not troll anymore..calling him as LGBTQ is troll for u means god help this grown child .
I cried for 15 minutes straight at the end , this is not a movie for just entertainment, it's art and educational too , loved a Bollywood movie after a really long time , I'm not a critic , I'm a just a viewer and I'm satisfied, thats it💖
My favourite portions from the film:(spoilers) : 1. When Dhanush stands up for Sara in Tamil Nadu 2. His confession in Tamil 3. After he saves Akshay's life and walks out in the rain smoking with teary eyes 🔥 4. Climax portion between Akshay and Sara...got me scared as fu*k
@@ThereYouGoFromHere you know I also liked they showed that how the young sara was being carried away by akshay, who was just her imagination, right at the end of the film with the music of rait zara si playing in the background,where,somehow I teared up the most. This was a metaphorical scene for me, where sara's father came back to her, albiet through her mental illness to protect her from loneliness and give her strength, and when he realized that sara has found her soul mate he bid her farewell, which implies her disease, was cured. This last scene was very beautiful. The whole movie is great.
@@ritwiksingh71 yes, it was extremely emotional. Did you notice how Dhanush picked Sara her up in the last scene - it was same as how Akshay carried baby Sara in her imagination. For her the whole circle was complete, the love and protection she was craving for all her life, she found it in Dhanush. Indeed the movie has beautiful detailing.
I love the small detail with Rinku vs her mom. Her mom always had a fresh look with the pinned hair, clean face. Rinku on the other hand looked more like boyish at times, black-laced necklace trademark, and a simple ponytail. It made sense that in "her memories" that she told Vishu on the train, she didn't even look like her character. It's because it was her mom! Wow.
@@Rupali_S15 it was to subtly point out sajjad wasn't a boyfriend kind of lover but a just a lover , who loves her without asking for anything in return. Halfway through the film, dhanush and MS had deduced that sajjad may be rinku's deceased father. By the climax, it is proved to be true.
To get attracted to a bubbly girl can be easy. As the character has never been in love or is attracted to the girl he was going to be engaged. Obviously he was attracted to the bubbly and approachable kind hearted girl. And yeah they should have included more scenes before he actually fell for the female lead. 2nd half was little boring. They should have dragged the 1st half rather than the 2nd half
I recently lost my father, and I could feel the pain and insecurity which led Sara's character to have her father as hero. A girl feels most safe with father. It takes time to have the same level of trust and protection with husband. I am in love with Dhanush's character. Agree with Jammy the characters needed more than a song to show the falling in love part from Dhanush's side. Loved the movie. A r Rehman did it again.
Just don't see it as a psychological thriller, see it as fairytale and you will definitely be moved to tears. I think that sums up both the good and bad sides of the movie for me. I found it quite well done.
This movie had almost every genre and it is atrangi in deed . No one can beat dhanush's acting . This movie is funny as well as emotional . Unique love story that no could have ever imagined. Worth watching . I rate it 5/5 .
While watching the movie I didn't feel toxicity in Dhanush's act when he broke bottles on his head. Though I don't support it, I felt that his character was so drunk at that moment, he couldn't realise the difference between right and wrong. However, I didn't feel same when he had cut his wrist in Ranjhana, and for me that was literally toxic. I must say Dhanush is the best actor for romantic genre as he touches your heart with deep emotion.
When he broke the bottles on his head I guess. He actually wanted to prove the point that sajjad doesn't exists ..he was also very angry ..he wanted Rinku to see that sajjad isn't real..i guess thats why he did it..
Dhanush my man, steals the show everytime he steps on to act. Be it the thrilling performance from Asuran, the emotionally enchanting one from Karnan, or the Massy captivating performance by Suruli in Jagame Thandiram. The way he dwells in the script and evolves his ability in every genre is truly magical. One of the greatest actors right now! And may he continue to entertain us with such eye capturing performances.
I agree, if there was some other actress opposite Dhanush, it would've uplifted the movie. Dhanush stole the show and what to say about Rahman's music.
For those who are saying vishu’s feelings for Rinku changed overnight,no it didn’t.If you watch the movie seriously from the very beginning and if you pay attention to little details you’ll get to know that Vishu never loved his fiancé mandy, he was worried about his degree and he thought he is doing a great thing (career wise) by marrying his dean’s daughter! He feared mandy so much that he climbed to a electric pole to talk to her and mandy wasn’t even interested in the relation she was all about her own life and marriage and there was no love between them actually even rinku said the same thing when she listened vishu and mandy's story and vishu agreed on that yes actually he is gonna do a arrange marriage though he presents it as a love marriage. It was kinda forced thing. On the other hand Vishu prolly fall in love with Rinku when he saw her in the train station and it happened a love at first sight but he didn’t realise it then as he was worried that he can’t cheat mandy, it will cost his degree (he was worried about that from the beginning) again coming back when vishu said he has to go to tamil nadu for his marriage and when rinku said she will go with him also,his happiness knew no bound! He was so happy and dancing. He also noticed Mandy had no trust on him as he kept saying he got married accidentally and mandy didn’t even care about him at all. she didn't even listen to him and let her father and the other ppl insult vishu.And on the other hand when rinku was dancing and teasing him he realised he has already kinda fallen for Rinku. It’s not easy to get this Atrangi story completely! I hope it clears things
Well said.. I have been in the same place and i can understand how one can fall for someone so quick when u are in a toxic relationship and u just don't know it.. It happens and strangely tho destiny decides what's better for u.. Even tho u try ur best to be with the toxic one and being loyal as u can but eventually the toxic one leaves u and u just have no control over it.. 9 years of relationship and u feel dead inside but u met someone for two days and u are so happy that u don't even understand what's going on.. Im sorry im not making much sense.. I recently broke up in December with a girl after 9 years of relationship and she left me for some guy and hasn't contacted me since. I was dead with her for last 3 years but was emotionally weak to take a decision coz i valued my commitment to be with her.. Anyway point is the movie is completely relatable and the way dhanush falls for sara in just few days.. i know it happens, happened with me
in my opinion, i feel that this movie is just a really nice fairytale that you can watch to escape from reality and don’t need to look for any logic within the movie. the songs, the scenery and the emotions are everything this movie has to be a wonderful fairytale! there’s no need for massive amounts of logic in this movie which makes it such an easy and fun movie to watch. i also feel that sara is slowly improving in her acting, she just needs to work on her emotional side of acting. dhanush as always was amazing and akshay was great as well. this really is a move i would recommend to those who are more into fairytales and new concepts!
I dont know why critics are always so obsessed with darkness and depth in everything. This movie was so nice. It was neither a bad film nor an insensitive one. The development of their lovestory was illogical but I would love to believe in it and enjoy it rather than point out unreal pace.
I actually didnt find an issue with how quickly dhanush developed feelings for her,seeing how is character was from the beginning,it seemed like he was tired of his boring life and rinku being bubbly and even flirting with him casually,being a simple man,its quite possible he got infatuated by her and in the end emotions are so random.and considering the fact that he never seemed so sure abt his engagement in the first place,it kind of made sense for me atleast
Dhanush stole the show. Sara was quite decent considering it is a complex role so early on in her career and Akki was dependable. Rahman's music was the main selling point.
After the debacle of Zero, I believe Anand L. Rai took important lessons and has cautiously and artistically rendered a beautiful work of art - I just loved Atrangi Re. It has been made with loads of love and caution
This is the kind of role that I want Akshay Kumar to do more often rather than the his regular nationalism/social message stuff he does which has been done to death. The scene where he fails to do the Taj Mahal magic act was some of the best acting I've seen from Akshay where you could almost feel his sense of purpose being shattered without any dialogues.
I watched atrangi re today and I can say I completely fell in love with this movie, dhanush being dhanush stole the show! the scene where he breaks down in Tamil had me in tears and tbh he had me in tears throughout the movie, Sara for me did a fantastic job and I absolutely loved her performance, the movie had me laughing and crying and I was so invested! It’s a must watch
I actually can't believe how they hated it. I went into the film having heard the first draft plot of the film from some sources of mine. I was pushed to see that I have little to no expectations from this and some even declaring this as soon flop. But my god, how and how I loved the concept of this, although I had a few complaints from it too, but let's just keep those to me. I loved this to the bit
man its just because akshay and sara's ame is attached to it and then they eill say they are destroying bollywood and we should support good movies(while degrading good movies) same is happening with 83 sandeep and pinky faraar
@@iam7389 Wahi na ab sab South ki chatne lage hai, bhale south ki kaisi bhi ho to usko achchi bolenge, aur waisi hi bollywood banaye to bakwas bolenge 😑
Even I felt the same when Dhanush's feelings changed overnight. I believe the director must have also felt the same. But, after the film ended, I realised the film didnt talk about Vishu falling in love with Rinku but about what after falling in love, a guy can do for his girl, unconditionally. The film is already a good 137 minutes in length. Kudos to makers for focusing on the subject which the film talks about.
bro u missed to see this part, Vishu first sight to fall love in rinku in railway station, Vishu not loved Mandy, Only reason Mandy father is teen of his colloge,
I honestly fell in love with this film. Sara did a fabulous job, fell in love with Dhanush and Akshay. It is truly very 'Atrangi'. To dismiss it as a bizzare film is absolutely atrocious.
Honestly I felt they barely scratched the surface of her mental disorder . Being doctors I expected the movie to show they dealt with her illness in a mature and professional manner . Instead they showed chalo Bollywood style filmy ishq dikhate hain. Laughing gas effect doesn’t last for a day . And the woman he dated and loved for many years , he just left her for a woman whom he has just met and doesn’t know much about . Why couldn’t they just sit down and talk to clarify the confusion? A Normal intelligent woman would have asked and bothered to check the facts instead of just leaving the marriage . What was Sara’s family doing all these years when she was attempting to run away every time ? Didn’t they care enough to find who the guy was when she was running alone .
I entirely bought into the fantasy of this film and it kept me mesmerized throughout. I know mental health is a sensitive topic and this movie lacked nuances I would've liked to see. but as an audience, I was convinced by the movie's way of explaining things. and I consider that a success in terms of storytelling.
I personally felt that Vishu fell in love with Rinku at first sight but didn't realize it because we see the bottle throwing incident lingers on to his mind. His anger vanished away for a moment when he saw Rinku as his bride. The love that was hidden in his subconscious only grew with every meeting between Vishu and Rinku. And also if we notice it's the case in almost all of Anand Rai's movies. Also Jammy you have no idea how many times I refreshed my page for this review but it was worth wait❤
@@shasha5781 No one has to assume but one definitely has to understand the process right?? That was subtly shown which was more important otherwise it would shift the entire focus on what was intended. Vishu had fallen in love at the first sight but didn't realize it. Even around the engagement he was worried about his degree being cancelled more but when he saw his wife being insulted and dragged away by someone else he couldn't bear it. When they sat on the bus he tried to understand why he felt the way he did. There he recollected all the feelings(shown as flashbacks) and understood his love for her. Here I am not assuming anything but just describing the incident. It cannot be the director or the writer always sometimes it has to be the audience too
@@shasha5781 Also I agree hundreds of people will see a girl throwing bottles but it will not remain in everyone's mind for example his friend he saw the entire incident too but he didn't care much
I don't know who hated it, I loved it. Dhanush was amazing and the plot was so fresh! For the first fine I felt appreciative of them casting an older man (Akshay) with a very very young woman. They justified the plot well!
i agree. even after knowing the truth halfway through vishu and madhu, the climax between rinku and sajjad was so powerful that we forgot that this revelation was more or less already made before. Sara's performance iat that moment was outstanding. and hats off to akshay to take up a small but important character role. it does give support to new age actors
@@Pratinachiyar You should watch the film before asking but if you don't want to I will tell you ( Spoiler alert!) Akshay kumar is an imagination of sara due to her mental illness and a traumatic event in her child hood. In the end, as she gets cured, her imagination, who is also is her now deceased father, bids her farewell in a metaphorical way as her illness gets cured almost.
My favorite moment is during the wedding scene between Dhanush and Sara. Just watch Dhanush and Hear ARR sirs voice in bgm..I m sure you will love Dhanush's acting
I love how you call everything as you see and experience it…You don’t need to be overly cynical to be a movie critic, sometimes you just need to submerge in the experience …for that reason I loved this movie and everyone’s performance! the song tumhe mohabbat hai….signature AR Rahman song that just floats you in air 😌😌
Yes a song that floats in the air..right words.. Also some reason really like the movie..but may b they could have put some young actor for the role of akash or older women for the role of sara mother( they could have shown in the climax someother women ) to avoid the age difference
@@eesharocking I mean i dont think bollywood has money prbs...But its all fine when sara narating the story to dhanush sara is shown as the lover of akash because she thinks that way...at the end they could either put some other actress showing her real mother..it would have made more sense and would have tease the audience a bit..( kareena is a good option) else puting a young actor in place of akashy and he being revealed as her father would have also been worked wonders...we would have been more suprised
Yes even I was taken aback by how suddenly dhanush went from indifference towards sara to falling in love with her. The mental health issue was watered down and most times solutions to such issues aren't available in such an easy way.
Exactly. The scenes are not connected. In barely 2 days, without any time being spent together the hero suddenly is madly in love with a girl who doesn't love him. Also, Sara overacted in do many scenes.
@@a.t.g5220 I guess it's mostly physical attraction than love to be honest. Plus it isn't always necessary for 2 people to fall in love when married be it in a forced or arranged marriage.
Exactly, the people over here are overreacting so much, it was a pretty forgettable movie overall, the ending was fine. Sara did not do a good job at all. Story makes zero sense and plot elements are stuck together using tape. Dhanush is the only good thing that happened to this movie, although his character is pretty much 2 dimensional.
Can you tell me a north indian actor who casted in south movie as a lead??? ..literally no one..its a shame ......why always bollywood have to cast south actors as a lead
@@kanishkkumar5431 It's every director's choice ... What here I am trying to tell is since they casted tamil actors for the tamil family we can connect easily ... Your question was different from my comment ... Same happens in South too . Many films don't cast proper regional actors which turns to caricature... I was just mentioning a positive statement completely related to this movie
@Nijju Nashu he was villan...not a lead hero...actualyy not a single north indian is casted as a main lead in any of the four south industries.. .. this shows how open minded they are...they always cast north indians as a vilian or side actors....while in bollywood there are many movues with south indian actors as a lead lie...pratibandh chiranjeevi ......takderrwala... anari...ek dije ke liye ....etc etc..
@@kanishkkumar5431 are you talking about north indian characters not being portrayed by actors from that region or lack of north indian actors in south. There is a need for north indian actor when the character demands someome from that geographic location right. I don't think south is as crazy about having to portray different north indian states culture in there on comical perspective. 🤷🏼♂️
@@kanishkkumar5431 FYI An actor named Kunal Singh acted nearly 16 Tamil movies as a Hero. One of his hit movies in Tamil named Kadhalar Dhinam and his pair was Sonali Bendre in that movie. Vishnu Kudawla also known as Vishnu Vishal - He is a famous actor in Tamil industry. His family came from North India and settled in Tamil Nadu. He acted as a hero in lot of Tamil movies. One of his recent hit movie is Ratsasan.
Just finished watching this movie and it's, hands down, one of the best movies I watched this year. All the performances were amazing. I understand why people are upset about Dhanush falling in love with Sara's character in no time. But, if Aanand Sir would have given a build up to it, the focus would have entirely shifted from the main point of the movie. It isn't just a love story. It's a story of how childhood trauma could be overcome if you just have the right people to recognize your troubles and help you get through all of it with love and care.
Just finished watching it, despite the loopholes that everyone is pointing out, it's a movie with a lot of heart and good music and I love those. The platform scene with Rinku and her father reminded me of the Interstellar scene with Murph and Cooper when he leaves for the mission knowing that this might be the last time they see each other.
Honestly when I first started watching it... I was a little disappointed because of the picturisation but when the movie steadily progressed it was so impressive especially after the intermission. The casting is absolutely perfect. You will get it after watching it *The Concept is very very unique and intellectual and First of its kind!* This time the acting is also very strong and it has truly well potrayed the after effect of traumatized childhood and how love can cure it! Ending sum up is amazing
The makers took a wise decision to release the movie on OTT. 'Coz the story is too "atrangi" (different in a good way) to have found acceptance on the big screens.
While watching this movie, my brain could pick up the loopholes yet there were so many moments that made me cry. You have to watch this film through the heart not logic. It is heart-warming primarily because Dhanush's eyes are so expressive!!! One look at his face (tear-eyed, coy, or just happy) and your heart melts. It is in fact a fairy tale and credit to the makers for telling this story so honestly. That honest effort definitely shines through. Also, stories like these are important for other writers and filmmakers... to encourage them to tell more honest real stories.
Dhanush has the ability to convey the emotions by facial expressions and eyes. You should watch more of his tamil films like Asuran, Karnan and Vada chennai where he acted brilliantly and we are used to his brilliant performances.
Spoiler warning ⚠️!!! I think they could have made the twist more surprising and feel like a real twist. We know the ending twist halfway in the movie because vishu and madhu did our job and made it very simple. Not only they rushed the love part but also the part when vishu and madhu find out who was her lover. Otherwise the movie is 🔥🔥.
Sach mein bhai. Ishq bohot jaldi ho gaya dhanush ko. Caught feelings a little too fast even when his engagement broke off and when the poor guy was also saddled with Sara. But Sara ki backstory ne dil phaad ke rakh diya. I cried a lot. Magical realism was used really well
yes i felt their falling into love cd have taken more time to make the audience feel more connected..15 mins more in the film cd have done that...i jst loved the movie. ❤️
I actually liked the movie. It was different from what they industry offers. I really liked the climax and loved the character of Dhanush. Sara has definitely improve her acting. ❤
Danush himself played severe bipolar disorder character in his movie in '3'. And the team was heavily criticized for portraying it in a really scary and bad light. If he's once again dealing with such script I think he should know what he's dealing with. Just because he is pursuing MD doesn't make him an expert unless you have a licence. And we don't go for general physican for severe mental health counselling. This is new in Indian cinema, but I hope creators keep that in mind, to project the correct side of mental health treatment. It's a one time watch due to shambled screenplay I guess. But my man Dhanush was the heart of Atrangi re!! Akshay did justice to what was required and Sara good going.
@@Sai_2346 That friend's character was also not a true representation of an actual psychiatrist. The way he dealt w a mental health issue was not ethical, that is not the way professionals deal w it.
@@nandinigupta7196 they didn't even show him treating her except for the prescriptions and as far as prescription goes thta's how hallucinating patients react... they get scared when their imaginary world get's crumbled... and akshay getting hurt with medication is surprisingly true to the actual clinical reaction... it targets the glands responsible for dreams and hallucination and it starts losing it's ability to dream and hallucinate and it starts creating a logical(strictly in the patients perspective) end to the hallucination whether an object or a person. And it can go wrong with few patients as they realize it's because of the tablet and treat's it like a superstition to avoid medication and rather die than take it or get depressed if connection with the hallucination is too long and deep. also, there is another case of suicidal tendencies as patients some times base there entire existence around the object or person or scenario that they are hallucinating. all of this is perfectly blended into the plot as far as friend character is concerned he was oversimplified to appeal to the masses. even in real life(in my life as well) there are a lot of doctors who tries to oversimplify the symptoms and disease while explaining it to less educated patients and there's nothing wrong with it as long as the goal of giving confidence to the patients is being fulfilled.
Dhanush came in coffee with karan with sara to promote atrangi re and said I'm open for more Hindi films. I hope he will get some and we saw his magic again in bollywood
4 that Bollywood should first watch his Tamil movies and see his versatility. U keep giving him lover boy movies and wasting his talent. U need to give him very important movies like Asuran.
Dhunsh's eyes expressed at different level in the film. But my problem is with the toxicity in romance of this film. Also Akshay Sara romance was uncomfortable to watch. I fully agree that it would have been much better if Rinku was played by a better actor
@Aayush all the technicalities takes the back seat when the movie make you invested in it that were the movie excels thats why for me these movie is a decent attempt already watched it twice 👌
I felt exactly like you. Invested in a film after a long time, good music after a long time and Dhanush at his best who can make you cry at a Tamil monologue.
I loved the movie! From the music to the acting, especially Sara in that last scene; everything was better than I expected. I think two things that would've made it perfect for me is 1. a build up to Dhanush's feelings and 2. a less "bollywoodised" interpretation of schizophrenia (sorry I am a psych resident lol)
Mental health was completely mishandled in this film. The movie was engaging but Sara's character needed a therapist, not non-consensual treatment or rather tablet-giving. Other than this major thing, movie is good. I had a moment of petty satisfaction when Dhanush sings and dances to chaka chak to tease Sara after the over promotion of that song.
His friend is psychiatry so go and re-watch everything is perfect. and counselling is done by dhanush and he is also md student. This is insight hallucination and it can be cured
@@amishkumar4325 They are medical students. Not certified therapists. That's very different. Dhanush was not a psychiatrist nor was he studying to be and again, his friend who was, was still a student. He didn't have the right. They should have bought a certified therapist who they would have had access to anyway, instead of doing it themselves
They needed therapist so much they did very weird things for her but sometimes it appear they got angry because of her mental health even though the friend is studying psychology and last scene was so bizzare can anyone explain how did they know she would be fine after going to the railway station
@@kidwithlennahc5655please understand psychology and psychiatry studying is different psychiatry itself a therapist it's done after mbbs and they know because they put this thing in her mind . so they knew luckily they got it. this is only her perception not real so thats it afterall this is movie for entertainment not a psychiatric lesson.
I watched the movie last night and my mind has been playing rait zara si on loop ever since. I read some reviews in the morning and felt shocked how some people outright dismissed the film as a trash film just because of a few cons. I felt that the film was heartfelt and I had a content smile on my face after watching it. I think we should appreciate the magic in the film than being super critical about it. I think Dhanush's emotional confession halfway through the movie is SO WORTH watching it.
I believe Sara is an on and off actress. She mightily impressed with her debut film, didn't have much scope to perform in her second film, disappointed in her third, tortured with her fourth and is picking up the pieces in her fifth.
She was average in Kedharnath and yes thanks to SSR for it. She needs talented and skilled co-stars to hide her poor acting skills. Obviously you are entitled to your opinion and I respect that yet your comment is an excuse for Sara's bad acting skills.
For me...this was Akshay's best performance after Padman.. although his role was short but man !!! His acting in the climax made me emotional literally !!!!! (I am a huge Akki fan but I personally I expect this kind of performance from him which he rarely gives... because mostly he does massy or entertaing movies where he acts ordinary....
@@ssfilms9798 well, he had done 2.0 and Kesari as well where he performed brilliantly as well. After these films , I can agree with you that he took up roles which didn't demand any such performance , where he could just be himself and say the lines ( Mission Mars, Good Newzz, Sooryavanshi) and then did cringe fests ( HF4, Laxxmi) . His performance in Bell Bottom was good as well, but since we have already seen this kind of film and performance before from him, it wasn't that well appreciated. His recent film, Bachchan Pandey, (an average film) showed us actor akshay after a long time. He saved the film with his brilliant performance.
@@ritwiksingh71 absolutely right 🔥 Well I will also say that...may be people are waiting for Selfie and Bade Miya Chote Miya because of their buzz but I'm more excited for Ram Setu, Rakshabandhan and Gorkha 🙂 because these films will need good performance especially I'm more excited for Rakshabandhan coz it's been directed by Anand L Rai (Atrangi re Duo)... Prithviraj is also there but I doubt on it because it's the first time that Akki is playing a real life King character 😕😕
I actually loved the movie...hope sara gets better the fact that Dhanush falling for sara like in two days...interval twist was so unpredictable...I was like oooo so this is how the story connects!!
The story is pure Anand L. Rai gold and a display of what the director is capable of when not under big studio pressure (Read Red Chillies). OTT release is a wise decision. The film will grow on people better through this platform.
Actually zero was a mistake of Anand l rai only I think srk did his part of acting greatly but story was collapsed in second half ...I still remember those days when Anand was bragging through every post and media interaction that it will be a totally different concept film that will blow up mind and audience will love it and all
@@gulzarahmed2321 then I must say you had not explored the great range of actors we have in india my friend and I must say you should look south and not bollywood to clear your misconception kamal hassan,mohanlal,faahad fasil,vijay sethupathi,r Madhavan,Suriya,dhanush and many more its just that we don't wanna come out of the paranoya of bollywood 😉
I can't think of any recent Bollywood films that talked about PTSD. They took a really different topic and moulded it into a film that has its imperfections but I loved it because it is not perfect,it made me emotional in several moments and although Sara Ali Khan's bihari accent was hella annoying her acting did the most part for me. Also jammy in this video I agreed with each and every point of yours. You addressed all my concerns and pointed out the good things.Never ever i resonated with a reviewer this much. After mimi,I enjoyed a Bollywood film. ❤️
Just finished watching it. Loved it; loved Dhanush even more. He has a plethora of emotions in him n he knows very well how to show them. Dhanush is the real Atrangi re. Sara was pretty good- unconventional, beautiful, chirpy ( reminded me of her role in kedarnath). Akshay Kumar did well than what I had expected . The revelation & the climax- were shocking ..... Will leave one teary-eyed for sure.
Spoiler Alert- Firstly, hatsoff to you Jammy in the trailer review itself you had said that Akshay Kumar's character might be the imagination of Sara and the story must be about some mental condition and bang on you were right and all those who were complaining about the age gap without watching the movie actually Sara is playing the daughter of Akshay Kumar. I loved the movie, I saw it first thing in the morning yesterday before going to the office and saw it again after coming back. I don't know why I really liked the movie, for me there wasn't a single boring scene in the movie. Infact when the movie ended I was like why did it end so soon and wanted to see a small video of the married life of Vishu & Rinku.. for me it's a must watch. And Vishu had fallen for Rinku when he saw her breaking bottles for the first time in the station and the scene where he confesses his love to Rinku in Tamil is for me the best scene and the second best scene is when he says "zabardasti se hua hai shadi par biwi hai meri" that was a seeti maar scene. Dhanush is actually the heart of the film, without him the movie would have been nothing but Sara was also not bad, I can't imagine anyone else as Rinku now. All in all for me it was a wonderful movie which I'll watch again.
Just from your 1st line I understood the plot of the movie and I absolutely agree with Akshay's statement in every interview why this was not thought from any other directors in the past? Excellent.
Even I watched the movie twice on the same day and now making the rest of my family members watch it.. A beautiful movie that touched my heart after so long.. I wish jammy would not have given the spoiler after the trailer was released.. tab aur maza aata
@@veronicat8974 after Jammy's video I saw the trailer again and when I saw Akshay's entry on the elephant and none of the student/doctors even looking at him and the elephant I knew that Jammy was right and when the song Little Little released the way Akshay was dancing and nobody was looking at him it made it all clear that Jammy is a genius but the biggest twist was the fact that Akshay actually played Sara's father. All in all loved the movie and all Dhanush-Sara scenes, Dhanush is such a great actor that I could see love in Vishu's eyes for Rinku when he sees her in his shirt and lungi at his hostel room, the scene after Chaka Chak song where he says biwi hai meri was just icing on the cake, I saw that scene 10-15 times. Whenever he says "biwi hai meri" I felt so good that I could relate to Rinku when at the end she confessed to him that she likes it when he says "biwi ho biwi ho"
It has been a long time since anything worthwhile offered in the romance genre. I am all in for Anand L Rai's unique vision!! 🤩❤️❤️ There are only a handful number of creators who are pushing the boundaries in terms of content and we as movie lovers should support them 😍❤️
I think critics are always looking for negatives that they really forget to get into the movie .This movie so beautiful if you gonna sit and enjoy without thinking or looking for negatives. And the music really spice the story up .Tere rang is one of the beautiful song released in this year
Also when you really invest yourself in the film, it hits you how emotional it is for someone who has a mental health problem to just see things how they see and how easy it feels for us "normal" people to tell them to accept the reality and expect them to just become sane overnight. Like when MS says in the movie, "mar jaayegi bichari" when Vishu's suggestion is to break Rinku's imaginary bubble by just telling her the truth. Also yes, I don't think someone can even get better after such approaches that Vishu and MS took, but again it's all fictional and not an inspiration for a Psychiatrist's course. Also I can't even imagine how emotional it must be to watch this movie from a woman's perspective. Especially those who have had similar experiences.
the sudden change of emotion is basically based on 2 aspects - 1) he didnt love his fiancee which was earlier portrayed, 2) Rinku’s beauty ,3) the sheer fact that they are married and the fact that Indians value -it usually transcribes from the idiom that a bird in hand is better than 2 bushes. The Tamil guy was not crying because he was kidnapped but because he was married forcibly, which shows his authenticity. its a lovely movie.
I think the falling in love part, from Dhanush's side actually happens on the railway station, and with his fiancé he was more worried about his degree rather than wedding.
Dhanush delivers a versatile performance and effectively conveys many emotions his character Vishu has in the film, the actor is in brilliant form all throughout, easily the strongest point of the film, But the true hero of Atrangi Re is A. R. Rahman.
Thanks Jammy, it's a beautiful movie. So so glad the trailer didn't give away anything. Also I think for Vishu, it was love at first sight. He liked Rinku the very moment he saw her and was never really angry or upset about marrying her.
if they would have added sara being new in delhi nd she convince dhanush to explore delhi with her and meantime Dhanush would get attracted to the rawness of her character... even 3 4 minutes buildup spanning for a week would be sufficient enough to explain that feelings
People accept illogical movies and find faults in well crafted and experimental movies like this.. I just loved the movie.. if u notice, in the end credits they mention 'a film by a r rahman, himanshu, Anand l Rai, Irshad Kamil'.. this shows they have put their heart out as a team in making this movie... This reminds me Tamasha again.. normal audience never understood the intensity of the movie.. same is the case here.. it is such a intense story... ofcourse the acting from Sara cud have been better.. but she is improving with every film.. Special mention about A R Rahman.. the songs and the score uplift the movie.. and he again proves that he is the best musician for the movies that are not from mainstream Bollywood gang....
@Aayush of course but then again tamasha was a bit off and their story was rushed as well but in the end what matters is how deeply you connect to the movie , ending scene was tead jerking
@@bhavikashah7065 everything doesn't have to be logical. Avengers kaha logical tha behen? Such films are fantasy fictions. You can't expect logic in them bro.
Being science student for almost 5 years especially biology, after that I completed my graduation in psychology the way they portrayed a psychiatrist is literally way far away from the reality and the issue itself... But really enjoyed the performances of Sara-Dhanush and their chemistry really loved that though it was brief😕
Sara ali khan knows how to act just need good scripts and director. Also she should focus more content driven films like saif unlike she run after fame by working in commercial potboilers like love aajkal, coolie
Idk what people has to say, i loved the movie, i loved the cast, their performances, sara dhanush chemistry, i cried during climax.... I love love love the movie❤
Your review is completely on point. The movie is a one time watch mainly for the fact that it has shed light on an important issue that has many layers and the film maker was able to show it convincingly which I think was difficult. Sara could have been better and like you said her talent needs to be exploited. She has this innocent looking yet wacky personality that can be used by directors in crime genre especially. Would like to see her in one. Certainly hope she works on her flaws and keeps improving and she would be one of the best.
Could not understand why in a scene Dhanush revealed that Sajjad Ali is actually the father of Rinku... This would have been more impactful if revealed directly in the climax
Finally, a balanced review. I really liked the movie, and like you it was the first time that a movie made me teary eyed in a very very long time. The creativity and genius of bringing such a complex subject with so much simplicity should be commended ❤️
Loved this movie! Especially the rollercoaster of emotions, you are grinning/laughing at a scene looking at Akshay's and Dhanush's theatrics and suddenly are immediately jolted by Dhanush's helplessness - wonderfully acted and absolutely impactful
SPOILERS: The background score when akshay starts burning with rahman's mesmerizing music and vocals which is haunting and beautiful at the same time gave me goosebumps and I was left teary eyed that's the genius of this man. Watch the movie just for that crescendo, if the movie won't then rahman's music will surely make you cry...
I wish Anand L Rai had created this same 'magic' with Zero. PS: Ok, Zero wasn't a 'bad movie', but it wasn't even that good to have a 'clear majority' of people liking it.
I agree with you, it's first half was quite good in terms of story and setting up the plot , characters. But during the second half I felt that they tried to show too much in too less time,and also that the actions of the characters went a bit too far.
Actually, the first half of zero was damn, we can totally enjoy each of the scene but it felt that after interval, the storyline dragged and it was like unnecessarily.
Agreed to everything.I also think Sara was good and was pretty solid throughout the film.In the climax especially her crying was very effective.She has improved a lot ,and I hope she continues doing such challenging roles instead of trash like Coolie.
Just finished this movie and I would say you don't need to worry about critics as this is a beautiful movie which will make you smile for most of its running time
Loved the movie Everyone performed their roles really well and it was so well written And such compelling performances I recommend everyone to watch it It's beautiful
I totally felt the same like you about the fact that they didn't really focused much on how the character of Dhanush fell so hard for Rinky. The switch was too quick and didn't felt organic. Other than that everything else was great.
It seemed as tho she caught his eye the first time he saw her and he got infatuated,and since he was already not sure abt the engagement either. Idk i found it very human, how rinku was casually flirting with him thru the wedding etc etc might have caused his infatuation and that's human nature basically.
@@Joemaniac ya It can happen to humans but look at the circumstances. Previously he was so angry due to that kidnapping and forced marriage then he had already a sorted relationship.
@@ameetoshdash1252 yep that's what he def was angry but i feel he was never happy with the relationship to begin with,like it might be perfect but he wasn't in love prolly and he def looked like he got infatuated by her right away when he saw her first.
I found the movie extremely fascinating in terms of the story idea itself. It's certainly tricky to put it up on celluloid convincingly. They've done a good job undoubtedly, obviously could've been far better. Dhanush's performance was 100 out 100. Only, if he had a better female lead to maximize his screen effect. Music is amazing. But the way of handling the trauma moments and the following mental issues of Rinku was a little over the top and unnecessarily bizarre. The medicine prescribing aspect was laughable and impractically shown given that Dhanush was himself an MD studying doctor.
Exactly! His friend being a psychiatrist did a deplorable job at portraying a true psychiatrist. No psychiatrist would react that way upon realizing that someone is schizophrenic, the way they medicated her was so unethical. The whole diagnosis aspect was so childish.
Yes there are loop holes in the movie as u discussed .. but i have enjoyed the concept and the fun way it was presented to the audience with humour... Great movie and a must watch
The only negative i felt in this movies was sara ali khan performance...as that role involved mor emotions n ol..which was not portrayed properly...MUSIC was awesome...Dhanush and ARR 🙌🙌🙌
This was Dhanush’s first film that I watched and oh boy IM IN LOVE WITH HIM AND HIS ACTING! His range of emotion is amazinggggg! I can’t wait to watch his other films!
Recommended my parents to watch this movie based on the movie's TH-cam trailer video and after a long time, we all loved a movie as a family! I was fond of the song Rait Zara Si and saw Dhanush's acting in the music video and was totally convinced to watch this movie! Excellent performance by Dhanush👏 And I have to say that so far in her acting career, Sara has done the most challenging role in this movie!
Who are these people who hated this movie... "KAUN HAI YEH LOG... KAHA SE AATE HAI" This movie is a must watch... Enjoyable... And Dhanush is as always... Amazing ❤❤
@EKLAVYA PRATHABHA VARMA fair then but as a doctor there can't be an accurate depiction of medicine in entertainment media , medicine is a long trial and error method and it would take years of psychic therapy for her to overcome sajjad an imaginary friend that was with her since her childhood
@@saakshishetty7786 yeah actually well u see art is subjective and critics usually go for more technical and logical stuff we as audience sometimes want some light hearted fun entertaining movies as well uk which this movie is so whateves😌✌️🤝 i lobed it tho🍿
Idk about people, I loved it. A hindi film based on such a subtle subject and beautiful subplots. Dhanush's laughing gas infused cry was especially excellent.
I just loved Dhanush in this one. Sara had all possible reasons to make it annoying. But Dhanush… My love, has this power to make anything, I mean anything extraordinary. His range of emotions, his expressions, his acting just gets you hooked right from the beginning to end. I mean, I love love love that guy.. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Dhanush's range of emoting is simply unbelievable. I think he has nailed the perfect and often elusive combo of intensity through subtlety.

Interesting review
Boycott
Ending was so imotional 😭
@Heartthrob Goswamy in which movie?
Lets give credit where it shud be. Making Dhanush portray a tamilian and an authentic portrayal of the culture is laudable. This is exactly what we wanted from movies like meenakshi sundareshwarar
@Heartthrob Goswamy Maybe we're conservative, but have voiced out LGBTQ+ rights so many times. We have Gods representing the community and have a week long festival dedicated, conducted and participated by Transgenders. Besides, what made you think Dhanush played an LGBTQ+ role in the movie?
@Heartthrob Goswamy first of all for trolling dhanush u used respected community...it means respect not troll anymore..calling him as LGBTQ is troll for u means god help this grown child .
@Heartthrob Goswamy this is so out of context dude. Explains why you idolise Arnab Goswami lol
@Heartthrob Goswamy dude when he is lgbt
I have doubt lmao
I didnt notice
WHEN DHANUSH PLAYER LGBT
He is like normal guy
I cried for 15 minutes straight at the end , this is not a movie for just entertainment, it's art and educational too , loved a Bollywood movie after a really long time , I'm not a critic , I'm a just a viewer and I'm satisfied, thats it💖
made me emotional too.
Mee too man cried after ages
Bawled like a baby
I cried too, the ending, when she finally gets closure from the father. I tot I was the only one
My favourite portions from the film:(spoilers) :
1. When Dhanush stands up for Sara in Tamil Nadu
2. His confession in Tamil
3. After he saves Akshay's life and walks out in the rain smoking with teary eyes 🔥
4. Climax portion between Akshay and Sara...got me scared as fu*k
And the last scene between Dhanush and Sara was so wholesome.
@@ThereYouGoFromHere Yes indeed 🙌
@@ThereYouGoFromHere you know I also liked they showed that how the young sara was being carried away by akshay, who was just her imagination, right at the end of the film with the music of rait zara si playing in the background,where,somehow I teared up the most. This was a metaphorical scene for me, where sara's father came back to her, albiet through her mental illness to protect her from loneliness and give her strength, and when he realized that sara has found her soul mate he bid her farewell, which implies her disease, was cured. This last scene was very beautiful. The whole movie is great.
@@ritwiksingh71 yes, it was extremely emotional. Did you notice how Dhanush picked Sara her up in the last scene - it was same as how Akshay carried baby Sara in her imagination. For her the whole circle was complete, the love and protection she was craving for all her life, she found it in Dhanush. Indeed the movie has beautiful detailing.
Exactly!
I love the small detail with Rinku vs her mom. Her mom always had a fresh look with the pinned hair, clean face. Rinku on the other hand looked more like boyish at times, black-laced necklace trademark, and a simple ponytail. It made sense that in "her memories" that she told Vishu on the train, she didn't even look like her character. It's because it was her mom! Wow.
I think Sara nailed Mom Sara role. She looked so poised, madly in love and confident.
Even sajjad also called rinku 'beta' two or three times
@@Rupali_S15 it was to subtly point out sajjad wasn't a boyfriend kind of lover but a just a lover , who loves her without asking for anything in return. Halfway through the film, dhanush and MS had deduced that sajjad may be rinku's deceased father. By the climax, it is proved to be true.
@@ritwiksingh71 thanks for the bloopers man
Great observation
That final dialogue by Akshay Kumar "ab nahi aaunga, toffiyan khatam ho gayi" felt something! 💔🔥
For me the only negative of the film was the sudden switch in Dhanush’s feelings. A build up to that would’ve made the movie perfect for me.
To get attracted to a bubbly girl can be easy.
As the character has never been in love or is attracted to the girl he was going to be engaged.
Obviously he was attracted to the bubbly and approachable kind hearted girl.
And yeah they should have included more scenes before he actually fell for the female lead.
2nd half was little boring.
They should have dragged the 1st half rather than the 2nd half
For me the negative thing was how the movie ended. The inaccuracy of how she understood everything on her own and let him go
For me the only negative of the film was why Akshay Kumar is muslim 🌝😮
@@imsk07 i think it was to justify the hatred of the orthodox hindu family towards the muslim son in law.
@@imsk07 cuz her father was.
I recently lost my father, and I could feel the pain and insecurity which led Sara's character to have her father as hero. A girl feels most safe with father. It takes time to have the same level of trust and protection with husband. I am in love with Dhanush's character. Agree with Jammy the characters needed more than a song to show the falling in love part from Dhanush's side. Loved the movie. A r Rehman did it again.
Just don't see it as a psychological thriller, see it as fairytale and you will definitely be moved to tears. I think that sums up both the good and bad sides of the movie for me. I found it quite well done.
Yes like.. rab ne banaa di jodi
Exactly.
Exactly it's like a fairytale ❤️
Yes like a fairytale.
yes soo true!!
This movie had almost every genre and it is atrangi in deed . No one can beat dhanush's acting . This movie is funny as well as emotional . Unique love story that no could have ever imagined. Worth watching . I rate it 5/5 .

Exactly ❤️i loved this movie❤️❤️
Sameee
Absolutely ♥️♥️♥️
Woah! i think this is the first time that i am getting these many likes 😃.
I liked the way Dhanush expressed his emotions to Sara in Tamil. That was exceptional
Nobody understood it but everyone felt it
While watching the movie I didn't feel toxicity in Dhanush's act when he broke bottles on his head. Though I don't support it, I felt that his character was so drunk at that moment, he couldn't realise the difference between right and wrong. However, I didn't feel same when he had cut his wrist in Ranjhana, and for me that was literally toxic.
I must say Dhanush is the best actor for romantic genre as he touches your heart with deep emotion.
When he broke the bottles on his head I guess. He actually wanted to prove the point that sajjad doesn't exists ..he was also very angry ..he wanted Rinku to see that sajjad isn't real..i guess thats why he did it..
@@spongebobsquarepants-ne6lc true
I am okay with toxic characters because at the end of the day it’s fictional
Because music and atmosphere was not like Kabir singh which has cheers and crap
I watched the movie only for Dhanush but must say Sara did a quiet good job on the acting side. But still Dhanush is really the heart of the movie.❤
I only watched the movie for Dhanush and gladly I wasn’t disappointed, he’s a gem for cinema mostly overlooked. ❤️
Dhanush 🤩👌
Bro I am tamilian and my son name is Ishan
He's not overlooked in any way. At least not in TN. He is very much appreciated and admired here and now he's making waves in bollywood too.
Overlooked? Every comment is about him, I wouldn’t say he is overlooked
Dhanush my man, steals the show everytime he steps on to act. Be it the thrilling performance from Asuran, the emotionally enchanting one from Karnan, or the Massy captivating performance by Suruli in Jagame Thandiram. The way he dwells in the script and evolves his ability in every genre is truly magical. One of the greatest actors right now! And may he continue to entertain us with such eye capturing performances.
Dhanush is a legend but he acted very average in this movie.
@@AdityaGupta-ix1ne I felt he gave what the script demanded of him, the language switch also acts as a barrier to express emotions
This movie is fabulous. The acting of dhanush is mesmerizing. Sara also did a splendid job. But dhanush was the one who stood out the most ❤
One and only reason for me to watch this movie is Dhanush sir
I agree, if there was some other actress opposite Dhanush, it would've uplifted the movie. Dhanush stole the show and what to say about Rahman's music.
HONESTLY sara was really good in this movie but she needs to work on her "cry expression"
Jennifer winget would have been nice
@@mundanemonday7091 true, but talented actors like Jennifer winget don’t get chance in Bollywood due to nepotism
You are so right someone else should have been casted as rinku who could do justice to the character
The actress has done her job wonderfully.
The casting of this movie is unconventional.
Excited to see Dhanush and Akshay together.

For those who are saying vishu’s feelings for Rinku changed overnight,no it didn’t.If you watch the movie seriously from the very beginning and if you pay attention to little details you’ll get to know that Vishu never loved his fiancé mandy, he was worried about his degree and he thought he is doing a great thing (career wise) by marrying his dean’s daughter! He feared mandy so much that he climbed to a electric pole to talk to her and mandy wasn’t even interested in the relation she was all about her own life and marriage and there was no love between them actually even rinku said the same thing when she listened vishu and mandy's story and vishu agreed on that yes actually he is gonna do a arrange marriage though he presents it as a love marriage. It was kinda forced thing. On the other hand Vishu prolly fall in love with Rinku when he saw her in the train station and it happened a love at first sight but he didn’t realise it then as he was worried that he can’t cheat mandy, it will cost his degree (he was worried about that from the beginning) again coming back when vishu said he has to go to tamil nadu for his marriage and when rinku said she will go with him also,his happiness knew no bound! He was so happy and dancing. He also noticed Mandy had no trust on him as he kept saying he got married accidentally and mandy didn’t even care about him at all. she didn't even listen to him and let her father and the other ppl insult vishu.And on the other hand when rinku was dancing and teasing him he realised he has already kinda fallen for Rinku. It’s not easy to get this Atrangi story completely! I hope it clears things
Yeah I guess people don't watch the entire movie here.
But wasn't he in love with her since school or something tho? What took him so long tho.
Well said.. I have been in the same place and i can understand how one can fall for someone so quick when u are in a toxic relationship and u just don't know it.. It happens and strangely tho destiny decides what's better for u.. Even tho u try ur best to be with the toxic one and being loyal as u can but eventually the toxic one leaves u and u just have no control over it.. 9 years of relationship and u feel dead inside but u met someone for two days and u are so happy that u don't even understand what's going on.. Im sorry im not making much sense.. I recently broke up in December with a girl after 9 years of relationship and she left me for some guy and hasn't contacted me since. I was dead with her for last 3 years but was emotionally weak to take a decision coz i valued my commitment to be with her.. Anyway point is the movie is completely relatable and the way dhanush falls for sara in just few days.. i know it happens, happened with me
@@visibleconfusion9513 take care.....
@@taramaheshwari2392 Thank you
in my opinion, i feel that this movie is just a really nice fairytale that you can watch to escape from reality and don’t need to look for any logic within the movie. the songs, the scenery and the emotions are everything this movie has to be a wonderful fairytale! there’s no need for massive amounts of logic in this movie which makes it such an easy and fun movie to watch. i also feel that sara is slowly improving in her acting, she just needs to work on her emotional side of acting. dhanush as always was amazing and akshay was great as well. this really is a move i would recommend to those who are more into fairytales and new concepts!
I dont know why critics are always so obsessed with darkness and depth in everything. This movie was so nice. It was neither a bad film nor an insensitive one. The development of their lovestory was illogical but I would love to believe in it and enjoy it rather than point out unreal pace.
I actually didnt find an issue with how quickly dhanush developed feelings for her,seeing how is character was from the beginning,it seemed like he was tired of his boring life and rinku being bubbly and even flirting with him casually,being a simple man,its quite possible he got infatuated by her and in the end emotions are so random.and considering the fact that he never seemed so sure abt his engagement in the first place,it kind of made sense for me atleast

Zero was for classes not for masses
@@parikshitp7849 thats why people chose kgf more class😁
Zero is a perfect example of how having too much budget can degrade a nice film
Zero had Sci-Fi incorporated into an otherwise typical romantic drama, which was the biggest problem.
Zero was definitely not for dumb, judgemental people!!!! It was amazing!!!
This is the kind of role that I want Akshay Kumar to do more often rather than the his regular nationalism/social message stuff he does which has been done to death. The scene where he fails to do the Taj Mahal magic act was some of the best acting I've seen from Akshay where you could almost feel his sense of purpose being shattered without any dialogues.
I watched atrangi re today and I can say I completely fell in love with this movie, dhanush being dhanush stole the show! the scene where he breaks down in Tamil had me in tears and tbh he had me in tears throughout the movie, Sara for me did a fantastic job and I absolutely loved her performance, the movie had me laughing and crying and I was so invested! It’s a must watch
I actually can't believe how they hated it. I went into the film having heard the first draft plot of the film from some sources of mine. I was pushed to see that I have little to no expectations from this and some even declaring this as soon flop. But my god, how and how I loved the concept of this, although I had a few complaints from it too, but let's just keep those to me. I loved this to the bit

Even I felt the same when Dhanush's feelings changed overnight. I believe the director must have also felt the same. But, after the film ended, I realised the film didnt talk about Vishu falling in love with Rinku but about what after falling in love, a guy can do for his girl, unconditionally. The film is already a good 137 minutes in length. Kudos to makers for focusing on the subject which the film talks about.

@@fayedrahman Yeah but what took him so long to figur e tha t put?
I honestly fell in love with this film. Sara did a fabulous job, fell in love with Dhanush and Akshay. It is truly very 'Atrangi'. To dismiss it as a bizzare film is absolutely atrocious.
it will become a cult they said same thing at time of no smoking
Honestly I felt they barely scratched the surface of her mental disorder . Being doctors I expected the movie to show they dealt with her illness in a mature and professional manner . Instead they showed chalo Bollywood style filmy ishq dikhate hain.
Laughing gas effect doesn’t last for a day .
And the woman he dated and loved for many years , he just left her for a woman whom he has just met and doesn’t know much about . Why couldn’t they just sit down and talk to clarify the confusion? A Normal intelligent woman would have asked and bothered to check the facts instead of just leaving the marriage .
What was Sara’s family doing all these years when she was attempting to run away every time ? Didn’t they care enough to find who the guy was when she was running alone .
I entirely bought into the fantasy of this film and it kept me mesmerized throughout. I know mental health is a sensitive topic and this movie lacked nuances I would've liked to see. but as an audience, I was convinced by the movie's way of explaining things. and I consider that a success in terms of storytelling.
lacked nuances? I thought they were really sensitive......
I personally felt that Vishu fell in love with Rinku at first sight but didn't realize it because we see the bottle throwing incident lingers on to his mind. His anger vanished away for a moment when he saw Rinku as his bride. The love that was hidden in his subconscious only grew with every meeting between Vishu and Rinku. And also if we notice it's the case in almost all of Anand Rai's movies.
Also Jammy you have no idea how many times I refreshed my page for this review but it was worth wait❤
It was indeed. In the opening scene itself when vishu sees Rinku at the station, we get a glimpse of that love at first sight
You don't have assume movie , one has to show it. Hundreds of people will see a girl throwing bottles.
Jammy is right you can't just show 0 - 100
Yes one can feel and connect to the attraction in his eyes, when they both pass each other outside the railway station.
@@shasha5781 No one has to assume but one definitely has to understand the process right??
That was subtly shown which was more important otherwise it would shift the entire focus on what was intended. Vishu had fallen in love at the first sight but didn't realize it. Even around the engagement he was worried about his degree being cancelled more but when he saw his wife being insulted and dragged away by someone else he couldn't bear it. When they sat on the bus he tried to understand why he felt the way he did. There he recollected all the feelings(shown as flashbacks) and understood his love for her.
Here I am not assuming anything but just describing the incident.
It cannot be the director or the writer always sometimes it has to be the audience too
@@shasha5781 Also I agree hundreds of people will see a girl throwing bottles but it will not remain in everyone's mind for example his friend he saw the entire incident too but he didn't care much

Akshay kumar is an imagination of sara due to her mental illness and a traumatic event in her child hood. In the end, as she gets cured, her imagination, who is also is her now deceased father, bids her farewell in a metaphorical way as her illness gets cured almost.
@@Pratinachiyar movie dekh kamal ki movie hai
My favorite moment is during the wedding scene between Dhanush and Sara. Just watch Dhanush and Hear ARR sirs voice in bgm..I m sure you will love Dhanush's acting
I love how you call everything as you see and experience it…You don’t need to be overly cynical to be a movie critic, sometimes you just need to submerge in the experience …for that reason I loved this movie and everyone’s performance! the song tumhe mohabbat hai….signature AR Rahman song that just floats you in air 😌😌
Yes a song that floats in the air..right words..
Also some reason really like the movie..but may b they could have put some young actor for the role of akash or older women for the role of sara mother( they could have shown in the climax someother women ) to avoid the age difference
@@chitrag3114 agreed! I don’t even understand if the producers are trying to save money or just playing very safe with using the same known faces
@@eesharocking I mean i dont think bollywood has money prbs...But its all fine when sara narating the story to dhanush sara is shown as the lover of akash because she thinks that way...at the end they could either put some other actress showing her real mother..it would have made more sense and would have tease the audience a bit..( kareena is a good option) else puting a young actor in place of akashy and he being revealed as her father would have also been worked wonders...we would have been more suprised
Yes even I was taken aback by how suddenly dhanush went from indifference towards sara to falling in love with her.
The mental health issue was watered down and most times solutions to such issues aren't available in such an easy way.
Exactly. The scenes are not connected. In barely 2 days, without any time being spent together the hero suddenly is madly in love with a girl who doesn't love him. Also, Sara overacted in do many scenes.
@@a.t.g5220 th-cam.com/video/h7EpRFqNUY0/w-d-xo.html
Interesting review
@@a.t.g5220 I guess it's mostly physical attraction than love to be honest. Plus it isn't always necessary for 2 people to fall in love when married be it in a forced or arranged marriage.
Exactly, the people over here are overreacting so much, it was a pretty forgettable movie overall, the ending was fine. Sara did not do a good job at all. Story makes zero sense and plot elements are stuck together using tape. Dhanush is the only good thing that happened to this movie, although his character is pretty much 2 dimensional.
Casting tamil actors itself for Dhanush family was a great choice which Missed in 'Meenakshi Sundareshwar' movie
Can you tell me a north indian actor who casted in south movie as a lead???
..literally no one..its a shame ......why always bollywood have to cast south actors as a lead
@@kanishkkumar5431 It's every director's choice ... What here I am trying to tell is since they casted tamil actors for the tamil family we can connect easily ... Your question was different from my comment ...
Same happens in South too . Many films don't cast proper regional actors which turns to caricature...
I was just mentioning a positive statement completely related to this movie
@Nijju Nashu he was villan...not a lead hero...actualyy not a single north indian is casted as a main lead in any of the four south industries.. .. this shows how open minded they are...they always cast north indians as a vilian or side actors....while in bollywood there are many movues with south indian actors as a lead lie...pratibandh chiranjeevi ......takderrwala... anari...ek dije ke liye ....etc etc..
@@kanishkkumar5431 are you talking about north indian characters not being portrayed by actors from that region or lack of north indian actors in south.
There is a need for north indian actor when the character demands someome from that geographic location right. I don't think south is as crazy about having to portray different north indian states culture in there on comical perspective. 🤷🏼♂️
@@kanishkkumar5431 FYI An actor named Kunal Singh acted nearly 16 Tamil movies as a Hero. One of his hit movies in Tamil named Kadhalar Dhinam and his pair was Sonali Bendre in that movie.
Vishnu Kudawla also known as Vishnu Vishal - He is a famous actor in Tamil industry. His family came from North India and settled in Tamil Nadu. He acted as a hero in lot of Tamil movies. One of his recent hit movie is Ratsasan.
Just finished watching this movie and it's, hands down, one of the best movies I watched this year. All the performances were amazing.
I understand why people are upset about Dhanush falling in love with Sara's character in no time. But, if Aanand Sir would have given a build up to it, the focus would have entirely shifted from the main point of the movie. It isn't just a love story. It's a story of how childhood trauma could be overcome if you just have the right people to recognize your troubles and help you get through all of it with love and care.
Just finished watching it, despite the loopholes that everyone is pointing out, it's a movie with a lot of heart and good music and I love those. The platform scene with Rinku and her father reminded me of the Interstellar scene with Murph and Cooper when he leaves for the mission knowing that this might be the last time they see each other.
I like your profile pic of Heisenberg as Tenzin 🤣. Perfect
Honestly when I first started watching it... I was a little disappointed because of the picturisation but when the movie steadily progressed it was so impressive especially after the intermission. The casting is absolutely perfect. You will get it after watching it *The Concept is very very unique and intellectual and First of its kind!* This time the acting is also very strong and it has truly well potrayed the after effect of traumatized childhood and how love can cure it! Ending sum up is amazing
The makers took a wise decision to release the movie on OTT. 'Coz the story is too "atrangi" (different in a good way) to have found acceptance on the big screens.
disagree... it could have been a good public pleaser in tier-2 and tier-3 cities atleast
Yeah
While watching this movie, my brain could pick up the loopholes yet there were so many moments that made me cry. You have to watch this film through the heart not logic. It is heart-warming primarily because Dhanush's eyes are so expressive!!! One look at his face (tear-eyed, coy, or just happy) and your heart melts. It is in fact a fairy tale and credit to the makers for telling this story so honestly. That honest effort definitely shines through. Also, stories like these are important for other writers and filmmakers... to encourage them to tell more honest real stories.
You said everything I wanted to say..
Dhanush performance outstanding... Many moments that made u cry naturally... What is love Dhanush tell us 😭
Dhanush has the ability to convey the emotions by facial expressions and eyes. You should watch more of his tamil films like Asuran, Karnan and Vada chennai where he acted brilliantly and we are used to his brilliant performances.
@@anandr8590 not only u used to their acting... We all... We love Dhanush...
You have summed it up so brilliantly! I absolutely agree with you - on each point :)
Spoiler warning ⚠️!!!
I think they could have made the twist more surprising and feel like a real twist.
We know the ending twist halfway in the movie because vishu and madhu did our job and made it very simple.
Not only they rushed the love part but also the part when vishu and madhu find out who was her lover.
Otherwise the movie is 🔥🔥.
Agree!
Yaaa actually ye bhi ho sakta tha lekin fir vishu ke kaise samajhta ki who is that man sajjad but I agree with you "little little"😉
Sach mein bhai. Ishq bohot jaldi ho gaya dhanush ko. Caught feelings a little too fast even when his engagement broke off and when the poor guy was also saddled with Sara. But Sara ki backstory ne dil phaad ke rakh diya. I cried a lot. Magical realism was used really well
yes i felt their falling into love cd have taken more time to make the audience feel more connected..15 mins more in the film cd have done that...i jst loved the movie. ❤️
Agree 10/10.
I actually liked the movie. It was different from what they industry offers. I really liked the climax and loved the character of Dhanush. Sara has definitely improve her acting. ❤
I watched this movies with my whole family
And can't tell how much they loved it
After such a loooooong time we got to see such a unique storyline 🤩🤩
Danush himself played severe bipolar disorder character in his movie in '3'. And the team was heavily criticized for portraying it in a really scary and bad light. If he's once again dealing with such script I think he should know what he's dealing with. Just because he is pursuing MD doesn't make him an expert unless you have a licence. And we don't go for general physican for severe mental health counselling. This is new in Indian cinema, but I hope creators keep that in mind, to project the correct side of mental health treatment. It's a one time watch due to shambled screenplay I guess. But my man Dhanush was the heart of Atrangi re!! Akshay did justice to what was required and Sara good going.
Good no she doing over
Just aanand l rai things
I may remind you to watch the movie again to understand the character of dhanush's friend.
@@Sai_2346 That friend's character was also not a true representation of an actual psychiatrist. The way he dealt w a mental health issue was not ethical, that is not the way professionals deal w it.
@@nandinigupta7196 they didn't even show him treating her except for the prescriptions and as far as prescription goes thta's how hallucinating patients react... they get scared when their imaginary world get's crumbled... and akshay getting hurt with medication is surprisingly true to the actual clinical reaction... it targets the glands responsible for dreams and hallucination and it starts losing it's ability to dream and hallucinate and it starts creating a logical(strictly in the patients perspective) end to the hallucination whether an object or a person. And it can go wrong with few patients as they realize it's because of the tablet and treat's it like a superstition to avoid medication and rather die than take it or get depressed if connection with the hallucination is too long and deep. also, there is another case of suicidal tendencies as patients some times base there entire existence around the object or person or scenario that they are hallucinating. all of this is perfectly blended into the plot as far as friend character is concerned he was oversimplified to appeal to the masses. even in real life(in my life as well) there are a lot of doctors who tries to oversimplify the symptoms and disease while explaining it to less educated patients and there's nothing wrong with it as long as the goal of giving confidence to the patients is being fulfilled.
Dhanush came in coffee with karan with sara to promote atrangi re and said I'm open for more Hindi films. I hope he will get some and we saw his magic again in bollywood
4 that Bollywood should first watch his Tamil movies and see his versatility. U keep giving him lover boy movies and wasting his talent. U need to give him very important movies like Asuran.
Dhunsh's eyes expressed at different level in the film. But my problem is with the toxicity in romance of this film. Also Akshay Sara romance was uncomfortable to watch. I fully agree that it would have been much better if Rinku was played by a better actor
@Aayush all the technicalities takes the back seat when the movie make you invested in it that were the movie excels thats why for me these movie is a decent attempt already watched it twice 👌
I felt exactly like you. Invested in a film after a long time, good music after a long time and Dhanush at his best who can make you cry at a Tamil monologue.
I loved the movie! From the music to the acting, especially Sara in that last scene; everything was better than I expected. I think two things that would've made it perfect for me is 1. a build up to Dhanush's feelings and 2. a less "bollywoodised" interpretation of schizophrenia (sorry I am a psych resident lol)
Mental health was completely mishandled in this film. The movie was engaging but Sara's character needed a therapist, not non-consensual treatment or rather tablet-giving. Other than this major thing, movie is good.
I had a moment of petty satisfaction when Dhanush sings and dances to chaka chak to tease Sara after the over promotion of that song.
His friend is psychiatry so go and re-watch everything is perfect. and counselling is done by dhanush and he is also md student. This is insight hallucination and it can be cured
@@amishkumar4325 They are medical students. Not certified therapists. That's very different. Dhanush was not a psychiatrist nor was he studying to be and again, his friend who was, was still a student. He didn't have the right. They should have bought a certified therapist who they would have had access to anyway, instead of doing it themselves
HAHAHAHAHA SAME!!
They needed therapist so much they did very weird things for her but sometimes it appear they got angry because of her mental health even though the friend is studying psychology and last scene was so bizzare can anyone explain how did they know she would be fine after going to the railway station
@@kidwithlennahc5655please understand psychology and psychiatry studying is different psychiatry itself a therapist it's done after mbbs and they know because they put this thing in her mind . so they knew luckily they got it. this is only her perception not real so thats it afterall this is movie for entertainment not a psychiatric lesson.
I watched the movie last night and my mind has been playing rait zara si on loop ever since.
I read some reviews in the morning and felt shocked how some people outright dismissed the film as a trash film just because of a few cons. I felt that the film was heartfelt and I had a content smile on my face after watching it. I think we should appreciate the magic in the film than being super critical about it.
I think Dhanush's emotional confession halfway through the movie is SO WORTH watching it.
I believe Sara is an on and off actress. She mightily impressed with her debut film, didn't have much scope to perform in her second film, disappointed in her third, tortured with her fourth and is picking up the pieces in her fifth.
Bad actress.
She was average in Kedharnath and yes thanks to SSR for it. She needs talented and skilled co-stars to hide her poor acting skills. Obviously you are entitled to your opinion and I respect that yet your comment is an excuse for Sara's bad acting skills.

@@ssfilms9798 well, he had done 2.0 and Kesari as well where he performed brilliantly as well. After these films , I can agree with you that he took up roles which didn't demand any such performance , where he could just be himself and say the lines ( Mission Mars, Good Newzz, Sooryavanshi) and then did cringe fests ( HF4, Laxxmi) . His performance in Bell Bottom was good as well, but since we have already seen this kind of film and performance before from him, it wasn't that well appreciated. His recent film, Bachchan Pandey, (an average film) showed us actor akshay after a long time. He saved the film with his brilliant performance.

I can't think of any recent Bollywood films that talked about PTSD. They took a really different topic and moulded it into a film that has its imperfections but I loved it because it is not perfect,it made me emotional in several moments and although Sara Ali Khan's bihari accent was hella annoying her acting did the most part for me. Also jammy in this video I agreed with each and every point of yours. You addressed all my concerns and pointed out the good things.Never ever i resonated with a reviewer this much. After mimi,I enjoyed a Bollywood film. ❤️
Dhanush was the best part of this film. It’s CRIMINAL that he is not in more Hindi movies. He is a superstar through and through
Just finished watching it. Loved it; loved Dhanush even more. He has a plethora of emotions in him n he knows very well how to show them. Dhanush is the real Atrangi re. Sara was pretty good- unconventional, beautiful, chirpy ( reminded me of her role in kedarnath). Akshay Kumar did well than what I had expected . The revelation & the climax- were shocking ..... Will leave one teary-eyed for sure.
Sara can be anything except beautiful 🤣😂
Spoiler Alert- Firstly, hatsoff to you Jammy in the trailer review itself you had said that Akshay Kumar's character might be the imagination of Sara and the story must be about some mental condition and bang on you were right and all those who were complaining about the age gap without watching the movie actually Sara is playing the daughter of Akshay Kumar.
I loved the movie, I saw it first thing in the morning yesterday before going to the office and saw it again after coming back. I don't know why I really liked the movie, for me there wasn't a single boring scene in the movie. Infact when the movie ended I was like why did it end so soon and wanted to see a small video of the married life of Vishu & Rinku.. for me it's a must watch.
And Vishu had fallen for Rinku when he saw her breaking bottles for the first time in the station and the scene where he confesses his love to Rinku in Tamil is for me the best scene and the second best scene is when he says "zabardasti se hua hai shadi par biwi hai meri" that was a seeti maar scene. Dhanush is actually the heart of the film, without him the movie would have been nothing but Sara was also not bad, I can't imagine anyone else as Rinku now.
All in all for me it was a wonderful movie which I'll watch again.
Just from your 1st line I understood the plot of the movie and I absolutely agree with Akshay's statement in every interview why this was not thought from any other directors in the past? Excellent.
Even I watched flim more than twice
Zor zor se bolkar sabko scheme bata de
Even I watched the movie twice on the same day and now making the rest of my family members watch it.. A beautiful movie that touched my heart after so long.. I wish jammy would not have given the spoiler after the trailer was released.. tab aur maza aata
@@veronicat8974 after Jammy's video I saw the trailer again and when I saw Akshay's entry on the elephant and none of the student/doctors even looking at him and the elephant I knew that Jammy was right and when the song Little Little released the way Akshay was dancing and nobody was looking at him it made it all clear that Jammy is a genius but the biggest twist was the fact that Akshay actually played Sara's father. All in all loved the movie and all Dhanush-Sara scenes, Dhanush is such a great actor that I could see love in Vishu's eyes for Rinku when he sees her in his shirt and lungi at his hostel room, the scene after Chaka Chak song where he says biwi hai meri was just icing on the cake, I saw that scene 10-15 times. Whenever he says "biwi hai meri" I felt so good that I could relate to Rinku when at the end she confessed to him that she likes it when he says "biwi ho biwi ho"
It has been a long time since anything worthwhile offered in the romance genre. I am all in for Anand L Rai's unique vision!! 🤩❤️❤️ There are only a handful number of creators who are pushing the boundaries in terms of content and we as movie lovers should support them 😍❤️
I think critics are always looking for negatives that they really forget to get into the movie .This movie so beautiful if you gonna sit and enjoy without thinking or looking for negatives. And the music really spice the story up .Tere rang is one of the beautiful song released in this year
Also when you really invest yourself in the film, it hits you how emotional it is for someone who has a mental health problem to just see things how they see and how easy it feels for us "normal" people to tell them to accept the reality and expect them to just become sane overnight. Like when MS says in the movie, "mar jaayegi bichari" when Vishu's suggestion is to break Rinku's imaginary bubble by just telling her the truth. Also yes, I don't think someone can even get better after such approaches that Vishu and MS took, but again it's all fictional and not an inspiration for a Psychiatrist's course. Also I can't even imagine how emotional it must be to watch this movie from a woman's perspective. Especially those who have had similar experiences.
Here the pychiatrist also happens to be a friend...so he becomes part of the act....I don't think there was no nuances..
yes it is!
the sudden change of emotion is basically based on 2 aspects - 1) he didnt love his fiancee which was earlier portrayed, 2) Rinku’s beauty ,3) the sheer fact that they are married and the fact that Indians value -it usually transcribes from the idiom that a bird in hand is better than 2 bushes. The Tamil guy was not crying because he was kidnapped but because he was married forcibly, which shows his authenticity. its a lovely movie.
I'm sorry, but weren't they engaged too? Don't indians value that too?
Man this movie was great loved it 💓
I was amazed by Sara's acting
Dhanush is great as usual
I think the falling in love part, from Dhanush's side actually happens on the railway station, and with his fiancé he was more worried about his degree rather than wedding.
Dhanush delivers a versatile performance and effectively conveys many emotions his character Vishu has in the film, the actor is in brilliant form all throughout, easily the strongest point of the film, But the true hero of Atrangi Re is A. R. Rahman.
Thanks Jammy, it's a beautiful movie. So so glad the trailer didn't give away anything.
Also I think for Vishu, it was love at first sight. He liked Rinku the very moment he saw her and was never really angry or upset about marrying her.
if they would have added sara being new in delhi nd she convince dhanush to explore delhi with her and meantime Dhanush would get attracted to the rawness of her character... even 3 4 minutes buildup spanning for a week would be sufficient enough to explain that feelings
People accept illogical movies and find faults in well crafted and experimental movies like this.. I just loved the movie.. if u notice, in the end credits they mention 'a film by a r rahman, himanshu, Anand l Rai, Irshad Kamil'.. this shows they have put their heart out as a team in making this movie... This reminds me Tamasha again.. normal audience never understood the intensity of the movie.. same is the case here.. it is such a intense story... ofcourse the acting from Sara cud have been better.. but she is improving with every film.. Special mention about A R Rahman.. the songs and the score uplift the movie.. and he again proves that he is the best musician for the movies that are not from mainstream Bollywood gang....
This movie is illogical as well. From a medical POV it makes no sense.
@Aayush of course but then again tamasha was a bit off and their story was rushed as well but in the end what matters is how deeply you connect to the movie , ending scene was tead jerking
Don't compare this shit with a masterpiece like Tamasha. This was full to bollywood type movie and Tamasha was a dark and intense movie.
@@bhavikashah7065 everything doesn't have to be logical. Avengers kaha logical tha behen? Such films are fantasy fictions. You can't expect logic in them bro.

Being science student for almost 5 years especially biology, after that I completed my graduation in psychology the way they portrayed a psychiatrist is literally way far away from the reality and the issue itself... But really enjoyed the performances of Sara-Dhanush and their chemistry really loved that though it was brief😕
Yeah he just grouped schizophrenia, bipolar d/o and alzheimer's into one group lol
Well you can't expect Bollywood to do everything right in one movie right🤣🤣🤣They love adding some non sensical masala

I don't know how people can hate this movie. Sara tried a lot to improve herself. The acting of Dhanush was fabulous.
Dhanush yeh movie ka jaan hay.
Sara ali khan knows how to act just need good scripts and director. Also she should focus more content driven films like saif unlike she run after fame by working in commercial potboilers like love aajkal, coolie
Idk what people has to say, i loved the movie, i loved the cast, their performances, sara dhanush chemistry, i cried during climax.... I love love love the movie❤
Your review is completely on point. The movie is a one time watch mainly for the fact that it has shed light on an important issue that has many layers and the film maker was able to show it convincingly which I think was difficult. Sara could have been better and like you said her talent needs to be exploited. She has this innocent looking yet wacky personality that can be used by directors in crime genre especially. Would like to see her in one. Certainly hope she works on her flaws and keeps improving and she would be one of the best.
I loved this movie, especially the chemistry shared between Sara and Dhanush.
Could not understand why in a scene Dhanush revealed that Sajjad Ali is actually the father of Rinku... This would have been more impactful if revealed directly in the climax
Agreed.
Finally, a balanced review. I really liked the movie, and like you it was the first time that a movie made me teary eyed in a very very long time. The creativity and genius of bringing such a complex subject with so much simplicity should be commended ❤️
Loved this movie! Especially the rollercoaster of emotions, you are grinning/laughing at a scene looking at Akshay's and Dhanush's theatrics and suddenly are immediately jolted by Dhanush's helplessness - wonderfully acted and absolutely impactful
SPOILERS:
The background score when akshay starts burning with rahman's mesmerizing music and vocals which is haunting and beautiful at the same time gave me goosebumps and I was left teary eyed that's the genius of this man. Watch the movie just for that crescendo, if the movie won't then rahman's music will surely make you cry...
I wish Anand L Rai had created this same 'magic' with Zero.
PS: Ok, Zero wasn't a 'bad movie', but it wasn't even that good to have a 'clear majority' of people liking it.
I agree with you, it's first half was quite good in terms of story and setting up the plot , characters. But during the second half I felt that they tried to show too much in too less time,and also that the actions of the characters went a bit too far.
Actually, the first half of zero was damn, we can totally enjoy each of the scene but it felt that after interval, the storyline dragged and it was like unnecessarily.
@@yashovardhan849 zero should have beeen finished in the first half itself, second half was total unnecessary..
Agreed to everything.I also think Sara was good and was pretty solid throughout the film.In the climax especially her crying was very effective.She has improved a lot ,and I hope she continues doing such challenging roles instead of trash like Coolie.
Guys for those who are new here, if Jammy starts with the underwhelming aspects, the movie is awesome. I suggest everyone could give it a shot
Just finished this movie and I would say you don't need to worry about critics as this is a beautiful movie which will make you smile for most of its running time
The performances are good but the problem is Sara's character is shown having mental health problem which has been treated very casually in the film
Loved the movie
Everyone performed their roles really well and it was so well written
And such compelling performances
I recommend everyone to watch it
It's beautiful
Absolutely loved the movie. Sara did a great job, Dhanush is always a start. And surprisingly akshay kumar was also so good. Really loved this movie.
I loved the movie. Dhanush was fantastic in whole movie. Sara did some overacting in the first half. It was the climax which made me emotional. ❤
same here. climax was so emotional
I totally felt the same like you about the fact that they didn't really focused much on how the character of Dhanush fell so hard for Rinky. The switch was too quick and didn't felt organic. Other than that everything else was great.
It seemed as tho she caught his eye the first time he saw her and he got infatuated,and since he was already not sure abt the engagement either. Idk i found it very human, how rinku was casually flirting with him thru the wedding etc etc might have caused his infatuation and that's human nature basically.
@@Joemaniac ya It can happen to humans but look at the circumstances. Previously he was so angry due to that kidnapping and forced marriage then he had already a sorted relationship.
@@ameetoshdash1252 yep that's what he def was angry but i feel he was never happy with the relationship to begin with,like it might be perfect but he wasn't in love prolly and he def looked like he got infatuated by her right away when he saw her first.
I found the movie extremely fascinating in terms of the story idea itself. It's certainly tricky to put it up on celluloid convincingly.
They've done a good job undoubtedly, obviously could've been far better. Dhanush's performance was 100 out 100. Only, if he had a better female lead to maximize his screen effect. Music is amazing.
But the way of handling the trauma moments and the following mental issues of Rinku was a little over the top and unnecessarily bizarre. The medicine prescribing aspect was laughable and impractically shown given that Dhanush was himself an MD studying doctor.
Exactly! His friend being a psychiatrist did a deplorable job at portraying a true psychiatrist. No psychiatrist would react that way upon realizing that someone is schizophrenic, the way they medicated her was so unethical. The whole diagnosis aspect was so childish.
Yes there are loop holes in the movie as u discussed .. but i have enjoyed the concept and the fun way it was presented to the audience with humour... Great movie and a must watch
The movie's story was unique..and so emotional.Such unique stories need to be told more often!
FINALLY THE MOST AWAITED REVIEW OF THE WEEK IS HERE AND I AM ALL FOR IT ❤️❤️

This was Dhanush’s first film that I watched and oh boy IM IN LOVE WITH HIM AND HIS ACTING! His range of emotion is amazinggggg! I can’t wait to watch his other films!
Recommended my parents to watch this movie based on the movie's TH-cam trailer video and after a long time, we all loved a movie as a family! I was fond of the song Rait Zara Si and saw Dhanush's acting in the music video and was totally convinced to watch this movie! Excellent performance by Dhanush👏 And I have to say that so far in her acting career, Sara has done the most challenging role in this movie!
Who are these people who hated this movie... "KAUN HAI YEH LOG... KAHA SE AATE HAI"
This movie is a must watch... Enjoyable... And Dhanush is as always... Amazing ❤❤
@EKLAVYA PRATHABHA VARMA fair then but as a doctor there can't be an accurate depiction of medicine in entertainment media , medicine is a long trial and error method and it would take years of psychic therapy for her to overcome sajjad an imaginary friend that was with her since her childhood
People actually really loved this it's just the critics talking shit abt it 🙂🔫🤝😌✌️
Did you how notice how public's and Bollywood critics' reviews always differ.
@@saakshishetty7786 yeah actually well u see art is subjective and critics usually go for more technical and logical stuff we as audience sometimes want some light hearted fun entertaining movies as well uk which this movie is so whateves😌✌️🤝 i lobed it tho🍿
Idk about people, I loved it. A hindi film based on such a subtle subject and beautiful subplots. Dhanush's laughing gas infused cry was especially excellent.
Not a sara fan but she deserves more praise for her performance, as her track record haven’t been so well so far
I just loved Dhanush in this one. Sara had all possible reasons to make it annoying. But Dhanush… My love, has this power to make anything, I mean anything extraordinary. His range of emotions, his expressions, his acting just gets you hooked right from the beginning to end. I mean, I love love love that guy.. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
