Reviewer's
Thumb Mark
PKP2 (Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2) is definitely going to earn the ire of the
female community for showing women in poor light as not so trustworthy lovers.
PKP2 is released as a sequel to 2011 hit Rom Com film Pyaar Ka Punchnama.
PKP2 is brutally hilarious and has a very unpleasant, misogynist outlook
towards women's approach on love, relationships, marriage and life. They are
portrayed as manipulative, self-centered, gold-diggers and spineless. The story
and its plot has close resemblance to its prequel and therefore, for people who
has seen the first one the film is predictable. Like in the prequel the three
heroes are flat mates and best buddies in the world. They slog in their
workplace and party hard. They love booze, girls and party. And amongst the
three Thakur (Omkar Kapoor) earns a fat
pay package.
The story is about these three Delhi boys (Gogo, Thakur, Chauka) and
three beautiful girls (Chiku, Supriya, Kusum) and how they meet and then what
happens after the initial excitement dies. They meet and fall in love with each
other at different places - one in a party, second in a wedding, and the third
in his gym.
The movie definitely generate some laughable moments but then the girl
bashing and the dialogues and the puns becomes repetitive. The much talked
about monologue by Gogo (Kartik Aryan) is too long and fizzles out soon.
The movie fails to portray a balance outlook towards male and female
approach on love rather it forges ahead and gives a generic statement on how
bad women are in terms of love and men so innocent and trustworthy in love. May
be Luv Ranjan and his team at the fag end of the movie may have felt guilty for
the whole female bashing and so they suddenly deicide to make their heroes say
that only Mommy loves unconditionally.
The female actors are all shopaholics, tantrum queens, pushy, fashionable
and also party animals. Chiku (Nusrut Bharucha) comes from a rich and affluent
family stays alone in a swanky flat and she expects her boyfriend to understand
her even when she plays the agony aunt to one of her best friends and ends up
sharing her bed with him.
Kusum (Ishita Raj)is a girl believes in equal rights and for her sharing
the expenses equally is one of the values she holds high and is non-negotiable.
But as someone has said it is easy to choose values in life but people often
fail to practice and that's what is with kusum too. She ends up owing more than
eight lakhs to her all understanding and mature boyfriend.
The third beautiful lass Supriya (Sonnalli Seygall) keeps her boyfriend
on tenterhooks guessing whether she will marry him or not. She is busy in love
but doesn't have voice at home and makes her boyfriend end up doing her
household chores from buying provisions to buying a printer for his
would-be-father-in-law.
Pyaar Ka Punchnamma is one-sided and God knows what happened to Luv
Ranjan to hate women. Well, that's his film and his take on love and women. If
you want to hear how female bashing is done uninhibited go and watch. And if
you want to give the film-makers a piece of your mind for their bias towards
women, still go and watch and write and speak against them through your
comments, review, views on the social media.
Life Connoisseur Movie Rating: 2.5/5
