Almost Pyaar With DJ Mohabbat Movie Review|

Almost Pyaar With DJ Mohabbat

There comes a phase in the career of filmmakers when they test their relevance in the mindscape of young hearts. It seems director Anurag Kashyap is passing through that phase. Years after he broke conventions of love stories with Dev D, his latest attempt at reinvention is a timely and well-meaning but scattered and almost laboured take on the perils of modern love across cultures.

Through two parallel narratives, where the same actors play the parts of almost lovers, the film addresses intolerance to relationships across faith and class, pernicious patriarchy, and the naivety of the internet generation. The entry of a caring but bigoted and homophobic elderly couple provides an unsettling sense of the generational gap. Add to it a layer of predatory homosexual behaviour and we have a series of strands that are disconcerting. The way Anurag attacks the idea of izzat is laudable and the dispensability of a Muslim in our society sends a chill down the spine.

Having said that, Anurag could not turn genuine concerns into a compelling screenplay. He remains more of an observer than a participant and hence one could not emotionally integrate with the plight of the characters. In Love, Sex aur Dhoka, Dibakar Banerjee got out of this dilemma by using the concept of found footage. Here, it works out like a dramatic representation of a news story, playing out in sync with more than half a dozen Amit Trivedi numbers which seem to be genetic aberrations of compositions that we have appreciated in Dev D and Manmarziyaan. Only Mohabbat Se Hi Kranti Ayegi lasts in the head for it captures the core emotion of the film; it is only love that can keep hate at bay.

the setting is interesting and the premise is promising. In Dalhousie, Amrita (Alaya F) finds a buddy in the neighbourhood when she befriends Yakub (Karan Mehta). The inter-faith bond gets tested when the two leave their homes to watch a show by DJ Mohabbat (Vicky Kaushal). Amrita’s family which is already concerned about her talking to a Muslim treats the sudden disappearance of their daughter as a case of kidnapping and Love Jihad. In a parallel tale, Ayesha (Alaya F), the daughter of a shady Pakistani businessman falls head-over-heels for a reticent musician Harmeet (Karan Mehta). As Ayesha is only on the cusp of adulthood, the relationship is not legal and results in Harmeet getting humiliated in prison.

Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat Movie Review (2023)

Anurag Kashyap brings a different kind of cinematic experiment in each of his movies. His love stories have a darkish grey tone, unlike Bollywood's commercial love dramas. The story of the movie is of two couples. The story of both couples is going on simultaneously. In both stories, the family's honor is affected by their children falling in love.

Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat is the story of two modern couples fueled by wild desire and anger. The story showcases how passion overtakes true love, eventually leading a couple into an awkward situation. The movie covers all kinds of hatred and social issues, be it homophobia, religious prejudice, love jihad, generational gap, etc.

Alaya F impresses with her excellent acting in this movie. Despite being Karan Mehta's debut movie, his work in the movie is also good. Vicky Kaushal's cameo as DJ Mohabbat supports the movie. He gives excellent advice to the youth with his voice and viewpoint.

Amit Trivedi's music touches the mind and heart with a balanced mix. The movie is shot at the stunning locations of London and Dalhousie.

I didn't feel like making this post to Letterboxd. In December of last year, I met the ICONIC Anurag Kashyap along with the actors of film he'd come to promote at IIT Bombay for Moodi. The film was obviously Almost Pyaar. The culture surrounding the film was woven through 7 years of finding its footing through financing, pre-production and shooting. The music as much as the film fails to grasp the roots of Gen Z media. Maybe the film is made for the masses, but this isn't a Gen Z film by any standards.

Gen Z here has been portrayed as the shallowest form with no personality beyond the grasp of social media. I don't know, maybe it is that Alaya F plays a minor in both iterations of her role which shows her shallow nature due to her immaturity. The bits where they tried to show her true nature against her own characterization fell short because they felt like an afterthought. I don't remember what either of Karan's characters are called but I remember asking myself whether I relate to him on any level being a Gen Z man. The answer was a resounding No. I don't relate to any of the characters in either timeline. The most interesting character DJ Mohabbat brilliantly played by Vicky Kaushal wasn't in any of the promotions or material till the release. Only Kaushal felt like the only actor in this film who was trying to make do with what he got.

I feel like Kashyap with this film was trying to understand a generation that he clearly hasn't been able to. Maybe it's the young people of today who are to be blamed for this heinous film. But I'd say Kashyap's lack of form in recent years - trying to make films for a new generation might be another of the reasons he isn't able to work out a proper strategy.

Anurag, I know you're never gonna see this. But if you do, check your Instagram dms. I asked you out to movie date. Pls response -><- thanks for reading.

Trade Talk: Will Hansal Mehta and Anurag Kashyap find a place in the Pathaan rush? - Times of India

Anubhav Sinha is up to his niche harkatein. He says Faraaz, a film he has co-produced, will be released only in 100 theatres across India on Friday, as the film is targeted at a more discerning audience.Set at cafe in Bangladesh, Faraaz is a true-life hostage story with a bunch of talented young actors doing what Hansal very cheekily describes as a dark Archies. That is the ideal description.…
