Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011)
Really...is this what Indian cinema has come to?
I actually have to take time to review this atrocity to give an insight into what i think Indian Cinema has come to. This facade of so called "hipness" the movie forces down our throats has got to be the worst movie premises i have ever seen put to film. First of all id like to state i tried, I really tried to like this. Unfortunately asking for a decent movie from Bollywood nowadays an event rarer than the blue moon.
Lets begin from the top. The characters. i cannot imagine which fortunate lady broke the director's heart so badly that he had to commit to film a note of hatred to the female race in general. Speaking as a guy in his early 20's i find myself appalled by the level of hatred a woman is depicted in. The three female characters are shown as manipulative pardon my french Whores. I get it, that yes there are women out there that are like the ones shown in the movie, yet why do i feel that the movie wants to tell us that those are the ONLY types of women out there? The three male characters are two dimensional idiots who have practically no purpose in life than to be trodden on by these women. It actually hurts by brain on how stupidly these guys handle these situations.
I haven't gotten to the main problem of the movie itself. Nope it isn't the horrendous acting, It also isn't the vulgar comments and unfunny sexual puns. Its the story or lack thereof. Movie 101 guys, There is a Sub Plot and a Main Plot. What this movie does is make the subplot the main plot making the whole movie a string of quarrels between the characters. Oh boy a movie clocking in at 2 hours comprised solely of quarrels between idiotic half brained couples is pretty much the whole movie. If you want to see a movie about men who have been scorned please watch something like 500 days of summer much more worth your time and money. Oh the ending...no one learns anything and both sets of groups go back to their original states not having learnt one lesson out of the whole ordeal. Please for the love of god do not watch this movie it is not as good as the trailers would lead you to believe. intelligent people of India hear my plea. DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE
TL;DR DO NOT WATCH THIS FOR THE FEAR OF LOSING VITAL BRAIN CELLS.
