Ayushman Khurana-starring Dream Girl 2, which ED and I watched earlier today because there was not much else to do in the rainy afternoon, is what the Indians describe as a time-pass film. It is not a movie somebody would watch if a better option were available and agreed on, but it is not so objectionable that one might feel the need to turn it off. This is the sort of movie where pauses don't happen for bathroom breaks, and every so often, one of the audiences is bound to comment on the stupidity of the movie and the depths of boredom they must have reached to watch the content.
I freaking love the casting, it's full of talented top-notch bollywood comedy performers, not a single person is miscast. The dialogs aren't exactly crisp, but they're decently sharp and funny. The social message of the movie and the niceness of the characters was refreshingly positive. I loved that the movie was taking big risks and making such wild swings, it misses on certain swings but I applaud the game
It's Just the story, the content of the movie that's weak and disappointing. The cast has been underused, and even the solid dialogs and decent directing cannot overcome the stinker that is the meats and potatoes. In the hands of a different creator, if the movie took itself less seriously and went all-in on the goof, it might have worked. It didn't, and it hasn't.
6/10 overall, 8.5/10 if we are to ignore the storyline.
