And that treatment for this story is perfectly novel. This film is based in the ’90s, it even has a cameo by Kumar Sanu. Reason being, the story doesn’t really require that much music, but when that music plays in DLKH, it creates the perfect mood. It’s a pity they’re not used as much through the final cut as would in another commercial film.
There are some great musical compositions by Anu Malik in the film. Dum Laga ke Haisha is one of the most honest and feel-good films in a long time – definitely go for it. Picture Mai Hai Dum.For you know Vande Matram Land. A small film with a large heart that makes you laugh, cry and happily reminisce the 90’s. A simple, straightforward and charming flick that you should definitely go for!. The best from YRF in recent times, this one wins you over. Even so, catch it for its simple story and very genuine performances as it comes as a break from loud Bollywood romantic projects that leave you with false ideas about love. The film is a must watch for the 90s lovers who continue to listen to Kumar Sanu’s hits from that era on Youtube. In closing, I would like to say, go watch Dum Laga ke Haisha with no expectations and more often than not you would leave the theatre with a faint smile lingering on your face. Watch it for Bhumi Pednekar who has shown great promise. Packed with some wonderful performances by the entire cast, the film tells a sweet story, with plenty of comic punches to keep you entertained. If you want to relive the times when life was much simpler, then Dum Laga ke Haisha is the movie for you. And kudos to Yash Raj Films for supporting a good film.
Kudos to producer Maneesh Sharma for backing this wonderful project. Kudos to director Sharat Katariya for telling a moving tale simply and effectively. What else can one ask from a film that aims to do exactly that! And this once I mean that in a nice way. It brings a smile because the characters have their quirks and keeps you interested because the characters are like you and me, only with different quirks. At the same time it isn't too satirical or dark. Sure, it addresses a social flaw and how the people that make the same society are coping with it. Yet, Dum Laga Ke Haisha is not a very serious film. The bitterness, the selfishness, the momentary pleasure and the pain all come through. From the lead roles to the ones on the side you know which one is likely to behave in what sort of a way in the given situation. And that is exactly what Dum Laga Ke Haisha has. Of course, no film about ordinary domestic squabbles can manage to create warmth without ace acting by all involved. But, the balancing act left a little something lacking.įortunately, it wasn't the performances. I understand, there is always the risk of too many conversations and the danger of the run-time slipping across the two-hour zone. Unfortunately, there aren't enough of them to make events believable. It tries with the right ingredients that work well – conversations in a relationship. Sure, it falls into the historic, cop-out trap of both a quick, convenient finish and dramatizing the events. Dum Laga Ke Haisha has captured it all so well and in just the right measure to not make it dramatic and yet keeping you completely engrossed. That there is a pointer at the scores of social dynamics in an arranged marriage – pressure, gut, looks, submissiveness and so on. So, why does he get married at all? Well, he is considered a good for nothing, remember? And what voice does a suppressed lad have when he has achieved little in life, right? And Prem gets pressurized into marrying someone who he doesn't like at first look. With very little to go on, other than gut-feel an arranged marriage relies a whole lot on how the other person looks.
And therein lies the crux of the conflict in the film. She is also not the conventional definition of good-looking either. She's a woman's woman who has no self-worth issues. Sandhya ( Bhumi Pednekar) is educated, mature and is submissive but won't take nonsense lying down either. He is pretty much considered good for nothing by all around and in return is cynical about the world around. Prem aka Lappu ( Ayushmann Khurrana) has been no good at academics and loves Kumar Sanu.
