Adding another feather to their cap, Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan were seen in their second Dharma Productions flick. Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania hit the theaters on July 11, 2014 and has been declared a hit with an overall box office record of Rs. 50 Crore and counting.
The movie starts with the Designer Lehenga obssessed Ambala girl, Kaavya, for whom the sole purpose of marriage was a 5 lakh worth 'Kareena Kapoor Wala designer Lehenga' that she could brag about to her friends. She agrees to arranged marriage considering the ill fate of her sister's love marriage, which induced a lot of animosity from her younger-version of Amrish Puri like father. In a bid to search the outfit, she sets out to Delhi.
Enter Humpty his highness! This guy is completely whacky, ambition-less and carefree and the only child of the 'Vidya Book Store' Owner (and not a vella test tube baby). The duo meet when Humpty pulls off a daredevil act by hanging Kaavya's Mama, his professor, off the backyard swing to fetch passing marks in his exams. Kaavya comes to his rescue for a mere Rs. 10,000. Next up, they meet frequently and become friends overtime. Kaavya was in Delhi for her friends wedding, who was trapped in an MMS scandal by her ex, Bhaanu. Together, Humpty and Kaavya undercover Bhaanu with Mrs. Chibber (the professor's wife) in a hotel room and make him taste his own medicine. The girl gets her money back and Bhaanu was taught a lesson. Amidst all this and the marriage fever, Kaavya and Humpty fall in love. Humpty arranges for her the money for her dream outfit by sacrificing the money his dad had saved for their car (a Maruti Celerio).
Post interval, Humpty travels to Ambala to woo his lady love's grumpy father (DDLJ reference, again) and marry the girl of his dreams but wait... Enter the perfect arranged husband - Angad. This man is everything Humpty isn't - well off, well built, an amazing cook, a doctor in the US and Kaavya's dad's favorite - by default. After a lot of beatings from his prospective father-in-law, Humpty still holds on (he tries to prove Angad gay with the help of his friends) and in the end, all's well. With the big-fat Indian wedding where Kaavya weds Humpty with the consent of her father.
Flare Verdict: Amazing music, specially 'Samjhawan' by Arijit Singh and the revamped version of Saturday Saturday. Samjhawan Unplugged by Alia Bhatt explores her potential as a singer. A laughter riot with a hopeless lover who goes through beatings, thrashing and loads of humiliation for his lady love but it all seems like a small price for the girl of his dreams. In all, the perfect Bollywood ending with the SRK style proposal. (No, not Varun, Alia does it this time!)
Flare Rating: 3.5 out of 5!
