ARJUN PATIALA REVIEW

In this article , we will be giving our review of Kriti Sanon & Diljit Dosanjh's "ARJUN PATIALA" . 

ARJUN PATIALA REVIEW

SYNOPSIS

• Arjun Patiala is a convoluted mess. The film is a spoof comedy and is a story within a story. Not sure how I can tell you the synopsis of the film where there is no story but let me try.

•  A budding writer comes to a famous producer to narrate a script. 

• The script is about this valiant cop Arjun Patiala, jiska ek hi sapna hai, sports quota se police ki naukri karna. He has a side kick as well Onida (Varun Sharma) who helps him fight crimes. And how can a script be complete without a heroine. So here enters Ritu (Kriti Sanon) who is a journalist (Luka Chuppi vibes much?). 

• Now how these three join forces to help solve crime in the town of Ferozepur in Punjab is what forms the rest of the story.

PERFORMANCES

• Diljit Dosanjh - Diljit is sincere in his performance as a cop. His character doesn't have much of a character arc but his energy on the screen is endearing. Post Udta Punjab, Diljit hasn't done films which explore his full potential. Phillauri, Welcome to New York, Soorma and now Arjun Patiala. All of the above movies have superlative performances. Still waiting for Diljit to choose a crackling script.

• Kriti Sanon - She doesn't have much to do except being the hero ki heartbeat. So nothing much to say about her performance as well. She is passable.

• Varun Sharma - Varun Sharma hasn't gotten out of his Choocha mode till now. Take him out of this film, and put him in any other film of the same genre you won't notice the difference. Yes, he gives a generic performance. On the other side, he gets some of the funniest lines of the movie.

• Coming to the supporting cast, you have the supremely talented Seema Pahwa, Pankaj Tripathi, Mohd. Zeeshan Ayub and Abhishek Banerjee (Stree fame). They shine in their small roles and bring a smile to your face every time they are on screen.

Story and Direction

• Well for starters, there is no logic to the story the writer is trying to tell. The movie qualifies in the genre of spoof comedy and I guess the reason director wanted that was to hide the incompetence of the script. In the name of spoof comedy, the writer tries to pass unfunny jokes which just makes the movie a tiring watch.

• As for direction, it's passable, to say the least. Here the director doesn't seem to be in control of what the movie wants to tell. The director tries to explore a lot of themes but doesn't justify even one of them.

Music 

• Music of the film is in complete contrast to other aspects . 

• Probably , the only part you enjoy in the movie .

• Main Deewana Tera is already a chart-buster , while crazy Habibi VS Decent Munda is just about enjoyable .

• For me , Sachiya Mohabbata by Sachet tandon (Bekhayali) stands out .

My Opinion

• As for my opinion, you can give Arjun Patiala a MISS. 

• It's unfunny and is like a kid in a candy store who can't decide what he actually wants and then lands on getting a little of everything. 

• At a time where you have movies like Article 15 in theaters, Arjun Patiala is that rocket which emits a lot of steam (when the trailer came), but then puts on a poor show on the day of delivery.

Watch it or Watch Out

No need to go to theaters for this one . Happy Monsoon !!
