Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar (2021) :
Brief Review -
Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra give their best performances till date in Dibakar Banerjee gripping film which fails to recognise it's own identity. Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar released with low expectations and that might help you to watch this at least once but please don't fall for the fake hype created by some people. There is a reason to it, yes because the film is definitely better than what you thought about it earlier but the essential content doesn't hold upto the good standards. It might be because it promises too much in the first half and then fails to deliver the ordered material or it could be because you want to it be better. SAPF is a story of a man and woman who represent two completely different Indias, the point which kicks off very high but later disappears suddenly without any solid conclusion. They are united after knowing that there is a threat to their lives and they need to support each other if they want to escape and continue living on their lives somewhere else. See, it is very good story to carry but it needed some more clarity in the conclusive part. Like I said, the film fails to recognise its own identity and therefore fails to understand its own potential. Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra are in the best forms of their career in this film. I haven't seen them giving so damn freaking classy performances before. The credit goes to Banerjee who pulled best out of them. His direction is brilliant too but his vision to take this story up is motiveless. Overall, it's a good film only for three things, first is performances of Arjun, Parineeti and supporting cast, second is Banerjee's fine direction and third is entertainment. Watch out for that Dance sequence of Arjun on Faraar song. Rest, it has flaws and errors in the writing which doesn't let it reach higher height it deserved.
RATING - 6/10*
