![]() Truthfully, I sort-aa have experienced this: a guy selling kachori who has two mobile phones, a dupatta salesman who can convert currencies and talk to tourists in seven different languages and I really do understand why Mr.Sahani wants to describe their love lives, because there are conflicts in it, which are genuine and refining, that simply sparkle than a fixated traditional romance, added to that there’s humor too and that makes all the difference!! It’s really exciting for me, as a storyteller, to see how young people try to navigate their love lives in these environments, with some following the traditional mindset (but only to an extent), and some breaking out of it completely and experimenting with relationships.” ![]() You have a dupatta salesman who can convert currencies and talk to tourists in seven different languages-to the extent his profession demands. You have a guy selling kachori who has two mobile phones. The funny thing about these places is that the youngsters here have their feet in two boats: the traditional and desi, and the modern. These are places buzzing with energy, where things are actually happening. They are not the ‘small towns’ Bollywood thinks they are and portrays them to be, just because people in them speak Hindi more than they do English. They are different from the metros, which are world cities that operate on another level from the rest of the country. SDR is unlike any other Romantic comedy movie, that’s because it addresses issues like, live-in relationships, its consequent marriage commitments, its consequent betrayal, modern outlook v/s traditional values of the youth from alleged ‘small towns’, all of which Mr Sahni beautifully summates : “ I’m fascinated by cities like Jaipur, Lucknow, Indore, Kochi, which are the engines that are running India. So, there you go… I hadn’t realized that, Shudd Desi Romance was a product from Jaideep-Maneesh combo. Story, Screenplay, Dialogues and Lyrics for Shudd Desi Romance are written by Jaideep Sahni of Jungle, Company, Bunty Aur Babli, Khosla Ka Ghosla, Chak De India, Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year fame, wow such an impressive map! And it is directed by Maneesh Sharma of Band Baaja Baaraat, Ladies vs Ricky Bahl fame. ![]() ![]() I never ever thought i’d be fond of cheesy movies like Band Baja Baaraat, Bunty Aur Babli, I think it is because of its faithful, as-is portrayal of relationships, very modern yet Desi! And in all probability, I find that element, ingredient to be Super-Duper-Uber-Cool, because it really adds that extra zing, liveliness!! In view with that, a friend of mine recommended, brand new Yash Raj banner film (sorta loathe yash raj banners) called Shudd Desi Romance, and to my surprise I just loved the movie! Neither had watched trailers nor had listened to its soundtrack, had zero knowledge of its technical crew and that entire yawn, so when I digged info, the results were really astonishing, impressive. ![]()
