Qarib Qarib Singlle Review:
By now, we're well aware of the formula behind Bollywood
romantic movies. When boy meets girl, they fall in love and overcome all
their hurdles because in the end - Love conquers all.
Oversimplification aside, it's been a while since we've seen a rom-com
that manages to subvert the route usually taken by these movies. 'Qarib
Qarib Singlle' certainly embarks on the road less traveled, and for the
most part, it succeeds. Parvathy makes her Bollywood debut as the
unassuming Jaya. The accomplished South Indian actress plays a confident
girl-next-door who appears to have a stable job and caring friends. Her
life is quite self-sufficient and she's otherwise sorted, save for that
one missing element. Fortunately, co-writer and director Tanuja Chandra
chooses not to paint Jaya as a woman who is incomplete without a man.
She dresses casually, doesn't hide under layers of makeup and even
breaks the fourth wall to speak directly to us, making her very
relatable; even a tad mundane. Grounded in Parvathy's understated
portrayal, Jaya's backstory reasonably justifies why she would resort to
online dating to find a suitable companion.
This allows her to take some otherwise questionable decisions when she
meets the whirlwind that is Yogi. Irrfan Khan is at his chirpiest here,
making Yogi a jovial and carefree person who goes with the flow.
Although his backstory isn't as clearly outlined as Jaya's, the actor's
ability to make him endearing is how the character grows on her, and us
along the way. With these two strong actors at the helm, the film flies
through the first half but begins to meander after the interval and
doesn't quite regain its initial momentum even towards the end. The
story largely revolves around revisiting Yogi's past, and in meeting his
exes, we expect to discover what makes him tick. But the screenplay
doesn't give us as much clarity as he, and the secondary characters
deserve. The latter are introduced and exit the story before their
presence makes much of an overall impact. Some scenes could have easily
been left on the floor to make a leaner middle act.
This film wouldn't resonate as much with lesser skilled actors, and
Tanuja Chandra knows this. She lets Irrfan and Parvathy bring out their
nuanced interpretations of the lead pair, which then keeps you amply
invested in their stories enough to see them through to the end. Eeshit
Narain's cinematography also adds to the film's realism by beautifully
capturing the subjects in their natural elements, without resorting to
over-dramatic shots. As long as you don't expect fireworks, enjoy this
sweet film that will leave you smiling.
