Do Deewane Seher Mein‘s trailer seemed alright and it has released with minimal hopes. However, it has turned out to be a surprise of the season. To begin with, the male protagonist is not toxic or does not sport a heavy beard. He’s kind towards women and that automatically helps the film stand out in today’s times of hyper masculinity. Both characters are very relatable; viewers will know someone who’s like them or they’ll see themselves in these characters. The ending is lovely and touching. However, the goings-on are a bit random and incoherent in some places. The narrative seems stretched in the middle of the second half. And the biggest issue with the film is the poor soundtrack. Not a single song is memorable and this is just not fair for a love story. Siddhant Chaturvedi gets into the skin of the character completely and is quite lovable as Shashank. The stunning Mrunal Thakur (Roshni) delivers a heartfelt performance, yet again proving that she’s a powerhouse of talent. Sandeepa Dhar leaves a mark in a supporting role. Viraj Ghelani, as expected, raises laughs. Naveen Kaushik (Shashank’s boss), Ila Arun (Ila Rastogi; Roshni’s nani), Ayesha Raza (Kusum Shrivastav; Roshni’s mother), Joy Sengupta (Adarsh Shrivastav; Roshni’s father), Mona Ambegaonkar (Sudha Sharma; Shashank’s mother) and Achint Kaur (Mandy) are lovely in supporting roles. All in all, Do Deewane Seher Mein is like a breath of fresh air and deserves to work. Here’s hoping audiences who missed out on last week’s gem, Tu Yaa Main, don’t repeat the mistake with Do Deewane Seher Mein.
My rating – *** ½ out of 5!
