A Breezy Watch!
Having lived in Mumbai for many years now, its relatable for me to connect with 'Love Per Square Foot'. Mumbai is an expensive metropolis, where every moment is either a way to make fast cash or a missed opportunity. In this fun & breezy Rom-Com, Director Anand Tiwari delivers a story on young people trying to be independent and achieve what most Mumbaikars can't afford for themselves -- a home owned by them!
'Love Per Square Foot' Synopsis: Individually, Sanjay and Karina don't earn enough to be able to buy a home, so they enter into a marriage of convenience.
'Love Per Square Foot' is a cute film, that has its heart at the right place. Having said that, the Writing isn't always engaging. Tiwari & Sumeet Vyas's Screenplay gives some interesting characters, but the story flows in a slow manner & never reaches a pinnacle in terms of Writing. Its a simple story, told with a subtle attitude & for the most of it, it works. BUT, the Writing doesn't go beyond its premise & that at times, hampers its impact overall. The Dialogue, however, are natural to the core. Tiwari's Direction is good & the man captures Mumbai with love. Cinematography & Editing are standard. Sohail Sen & Anand Bajpai's Score is average.
Performance-Wise: Vicky Kaushal wins you over with a delightful act. The supremely talented actor portrays his part with effortless ease. Angira Dhar is also a welcome new addition to the Hindi Film Industry. The actress is confident & charming. Alankrita Sahai is feisty. Kunaal Roy Kapur is as usual. Ratna Pathak Shah & Supriya Pathak are simply outstanding, yet again. Ratna is flawless as Angira's moody Christian Mother, while Supriya plays the Hindu Maa to perfection. Raghubir Yadav is efficient, as always. Arunoday Singh is adequate. Gajraj Rao is superb. Brijendra Kala is fantastic in a brief role.
On the whole, 'Love Per Square Foot' is a breezy, undemanding watch.
Capsule Review: Love Per Square Foot
When you have such a great cast giving their 100%, you are bound to end up creating a lovely film. Anand Tiwari's Love Per Square Foot is such a film that is so tasty and relatable, it has all the ingredients to entice and entertain you. Vicky Kaushal, in his career best performance, and debutante Angira Dhar play two young people looking to buy their own flat in Mumbai. So when an offer that would help them do that without much financial burden comes their way, they brush as acquaintances and then to lovers. Lover Per Square Foot is about their romance and struggle to buy a property in the satellite city, their attempt to maintain romance despite being an inter-regional couple, their ups and downs in life as independent participants in a relationship. And it works wonders. I am massively surprised to learn that Tiwari has impressive direction skills, which enables him to bring out the best in his lead stars and supporting actors like Ratna Pathak Shah, Surpriya Pathak Kapur, and Raghubir Yadav just to name a few. Apart from the brilliant performances, there are a lot of small things that you will enjoy watching in the film that has been written in a politically correct manner whose only aim is to entertain. Although the plot sways to cliched territory towards the end, there is freshness in Tiwari's execution. It's a palpable love story that aims at highlighting the pains and fun of middle-class lifestyle, which comes to the fore through the fantabulous dialogues written by Sumeet Vyas. Everyone involved in making Love Per Square Foot should get together and rejoice for they have made a film that is funny, relevant, and important. It impressed me and made me laugh a lot. TN.
