Luka Chuppi Review: Kartik Aaryan And Kriti Sanon's Infectious Chemistry Is The Only Saving Grace In This Chaotic Snoozefest!

There is a point in the climax when you suddenly realize that this film has suddenly started to preach the demands and the rights of the youth, this election season after building up a dragged and chaotic screenplay which is truly a mammoth task to behold. The execution by director Laxman Utekar and the writing by Rohan Shankar falls flat and clearly looks restricted in some areas.

The story revolves around a young couple in love who decide to embark in a live in relationship before getting married to test their compatibility. Things soon get out of hand when their families get involved in the mess and the couple have to pretend to be a married couple to avoid being caught up in a live in relationship which is staunchly forbidden by their parents. There are several loopholes in the plot which makes the whole depiction extremely chaotic and cluttered. One cannot understand why the respective families are so obsessed with bashing up the concept of live in relationships just because a well known celebrity seemed to practice it and how can their own children so easily preach it right from under their noses. There is no efficient build up for the lead protagnists let alone the supporting cast members.

The punchlines and the tongue in cheek humor looks forced and dragged in most of the scenes. Talking about the performances, the only saving grace in this chaotic snoozefest is the infectious and endearing chemistry of Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon. The they share a great camaraderie on screen but again their act falls flat and lacks the spark in their individual scenes. But the one who is utterly wasted in this one is the talented Aparshakti Khurrana who is just reduced as a prop to be part of some dragged comedy. The only saving grace is the entertaining acts of Pankaj Tripathi and Vinay Pathak who add some light moments on the film.

The soundtracks are catchy and upbeat but again all are just recreated versions and except for the song Duniyaa, none of the other tracks seem to strike a chord with the audience. Unless you want to bear two hours of just forced humor, this one is highly avoidable.
