Do Lafzon Ki Kahani : Too Much Melodrama
I wish the film Do Lafzon Ki Kahani was as exiting as it showed in trailers! I expected an intense and emotional love story from the trailer. Unfortunately the movie has disappointed me in every single aspect. The story is about a former Mixed Martial Arts fighter Sooraj (Randeep Hooda) who falls in love with a visually impaired girl Jenny (Kajal Agarwal) and is ready to risk his life so that his love can afford the expensive eye operation. The movie is the remake of 2011 Korean movie Always, which was also remade in Kannada as Boxer in 2015.
The screenplay is too slow and the dialogues are not upto the mark. Every scene in the movie takes you to the 80s and 90s movies (obviously, the flop love stories) and its bitter to watch. Kajal Aggarwal even after her nine years in Indian cinema has still not learned about “real” acting. As typical Indian movie blind girl character, Jenny also has beautiful unblemished eyes, tries different hairstyles, does slight makeups, all when she is staying all alone. It just reminded me of Kajols character in Fanaa, only difference Kajol acted really well! The character of Jenny is so irritating and over smart that actually makes us confused what made the ruff and tough Sooraj melt his heart for her!
When you leave the theatre you realize that so many questions were unanswered. Like in the beginning Sooraj says that he works day and night because he has to clear some debts. It is latter mentioned that he was taking care of a victim who burned himself while he was trying to escape from Sooraj. No wait, What? If he had to take care of that person why did he go to beat him in the first place. Ok, maybe his mind just changed just like that. But worst part is that this particular story somehow and somewhere gets lost and is never talked about.
The blindness of Jenny is unconvincing. There is a scene where she presses the light button on and off. For what, no one knows! Jenny watches a horrible soap opera, not in her apartment (which can easily afford a TV) but at some random security booth. She not only watches but is also obsessed and even mopes seeing it. And she even count the days with the episode of the show! I totally didn't understand why Sooraj who risked his life to bring back Jenny’s eyesight avoids her completely after the operation. Or did I just miss something while I was battling with myself trying to control my sleep?
The two things that helps you survive from the two hour yawn is Randeep Hooda and the song Jeena Sikha Diya . I feel sorry for Randeep Hooda that he has worked so hard for a movie that did not deserve his talented performance. The song Jeena Sikha Diya reminds us that its supposed to be a love story. Love never hurts…Love heals” goes the tagline of the movie. Yeah its true, Love does not hurt but movies like this will definitely hurt. Do Lafzon Ki Kahani means a story of two words. And the two words are “TOO BORING”
