But they do end up in bed and soon she whispers the four magic words, "Do we have protection?" Guddu is ready with an assortment of condoms. Guddu wants to do "everything" that live-in couples do. "Luka Chuppi" sometimes goes awry in its search for satire, but is not the least fearful of stumbling. The adventures thereafter are not as smooth as, say "Badhaai Ho" where middleclass mores were projected with unflinching accuracy. But it never fails to amuse, as Guddu and Rashmi, two Mathura-based TV journalists, get hitched, fall in love and decide to give 'live-in' a chance before settling in permanently.Įgged on by his best friend/sidekick Abbas ( Aparshakti Khurrana - bang-on with his deadpan expressions) the couple decides to give live-in a try. "Luka Chuppi" doesn't try too hard to generate humour. A sense of madcap adventure is constantly projected into the narrative without losing grip over the grammar of growing giggles. "Luka Chuppi" doesn't mind bending the rules of the rom-com genre as long the tilt doesn't make the script look cross-eyed and waylaid. Just when the smalltown comedy threatens to sag under the weight of over-statement there comes a fresh feisty take on a live-in relationship in this Progressive Comedy (not to be confused with the Regressive Comedy as in "Total Dhamaal"). Film: "Luka Chuppi" Director: Laxman Utekar Cast: Kartik Aryan, Kriti Sanon & Stellar Supporting Cast Rating: ****(4 stars)
