Both little confused and perturbed but are sure of one thing that not to indulge in the purest bond.Manish Sharma who has directed flicks like Band Baaja Baarat and Ladies vs Ricky Bahl has taken a unique concept of the live-in relationship and confusion before marriage and presented it intelligently. This is no usual sort of love triangle stuffed with all old masala ingredients but is an intriguing premise which deserves an attention.It begins with the Gulabi city Jaipur where the Raghu Ram (Sushant Singh Rajput) is about to marry Tara (Vaani Kapoor). Just a day before he meets Gayatri (Parineeti Chopra) who pretends to be his sister in his marriage. On the D-Day the confused Raghu dumps his marriage and runs away from there. Later he again comes across Gayatri and this time he shares a live-in relationship and finally proposes her to marry. But this time he is the victim as Gayati runs on the date of wedding. But destiny brings all the three together and how they deal with it is what ‘Shuddh Desi Romance' tells you.Though, the story sounds a bit mystified, Manish Sharma excels in removing that confusion throughout. He deals with the conscious of today's youth who are excited to fall in love but hesitates to cross the line of responsibility, which sooner comes at the fore.Jaideep Sahni who is helmed for scripting Company, Khosla Ka Ghosla, Bunty aur Bubly gives a thought provoking idea which the director portrays it efficiently. He mostly uses the big conversation between the leads to give away an idea over the demon they think the marriage is. He serves it with humour and with ‘Bathroom'. Yes the so called room becomes the noticeable victim of the entire buzz of escape from marriages. It also looks like one of the blemishes in the flick. The co-incidental meetings of Raghu and Gayatri, Raghu and Tara and the threesome together, falls in the category of flaws. Tara's casual behaviour after she gets dumped by Raghu also looks a bit unrealistic. But this doesn't perturb the entire screenplay which is picturised mostly in Jaipur.Sahni doesn't take the urban idea to the cities like Delhi and Mumbai but to Jaipur which is closely and beautifully captured by the lensemen. Thanks to the cinematographer who uses the monuments and the local lanes of the pink city. Above all of them its the chemistry which Sushant Singh Rajput share with Parineeti Chopra, Vaani Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor.Sushant Singh Rajput is takes the lead in acting department. He caught everyone's eye through Kai Po Che showing his intense and sporty side. Through Shuddh Desi Romance this Rajput shows confusion, hesitation, excitement and even the panic situation with ease. He never misses an expression and explores it brilliantly.Parineeti Chopra skins into the bold character and presents the shades of a girl who has moved on with the feeling of love through hundreds of relationships.Vaani Kapoor too does a good too as Tara. She is charming and her acting shows that she is here to stay.Rishi Kapoor who is ubiquitous in every big movie now a day is just marvelous as a wedding planner.Music by Sachin-Jigar is great. The Gulabi track is my favourite from the album while other track Tere mere beech mein is situational. The Rajasthani base is kept in mind and so numerous local instruments are used in the album and so in the background score.I'll go with three stars for Shuddh Desi Romance. Manish Sharma radiantly portrays the frame of mind of present generation without bore stiff while Sushant steals the show all the way.
