Analysing films

Dum Laga ke Haisha is a little and a surprise gem from the YRF banner. The movie has everything right going from the start. Spot on casting, superb acting, great locales and the backdrop, and of course a first time director in the form of Sharat Katariya. Special words for the supremely talented Ayushmann Khurana, Manoj Mishra, Alka Amin, Sheeba Chadha, Seema Pahwa, Shrikant Verma and other motley group of actors, who contributed immensely to the success of the movie. From the word go, the pace of the film is easy and languid and it built itself up. The two cities, Haridwar and Rishikesh plays the perfect foil to the two leads. It is a movie about two odds and how they eventually even it out. The two mismatches and their own demons, perhaps the male protagonist in this case with the larger set of problems. The female lead Bhumi Pednekar a more sorted version and seems to have come to terms with the weight(y) issues. Bhumi has a stellar role to play and creates a niche for herself
