New Delhi: Venturing into small cities is the latest fad in Bollywood. The latest to join the bandwagon is director Maneesh Sharma's 'Suddh Desi Romance' which features Sushant Singh Rajput, Parineeti Chopra and Vaani Kapoor in pivotal roles. The film is set in Jaipur where all three characters are engaged in a complex relationship. 'Shuddh Desi Romance' has opened to mostly positive reviews and has given the movie enthusiasts several reasons to believe in innocent romance. We have compiled a list of ten unique features of the film's screenplay.
There are spoilers ahead so you're requested to come back to this article after watching the film.
Toilets: Restrooms are so much visible in the film that they become an integral part of the narrative. The characters use it as a place to think about the future of their love life.
Cold drinks: Most of us have the habit of doing anything specific in the times of crisis. Some take resort in eating while others watch movies. Well, the newcomer Vaani, who plays Tara, consoles her heart by sipping 'thanda'.
Pink city: Jaipur proves to be a good backdrop for such a story as it has a distinct flavour. Raghu (Sushant) is a guide who knows the city like the back of his hand and it helps him in selecting the apt meeting places with his love interests.
Bus: You wouldn't understand the importance of a bus in a marriage without attending any such event. Bus is the place where new age romance buds. Watch 'Shuddh Desi Romance' and you'll get to know the entire process.
Gupta Jee: There is a character in the film whose only job is to take the case of relatively innocent people. Almost every Indian street has such Gupta Jees.
Barsaati: The one room set on top of any building is known as Barsaati in big cities, small town don't have such concepts. Since the days of 'Chashme Buddoor', we have seen characters living in a barsaati and Parineeti carries forward the trend.
Floral prints: Nowadays, every filmmaker is trying to be stylish and the first victim of this stylisation is the clothes that the actors wear. However, in 'Shuddh Desi Romance', we come across the characters who dress up like normal people not style icons.
The business of marriage: Indians treat marriage as once in a life time occasion and thus it attracts all sorts of businesses. Rishi Kapoor is the champion of this business and he has an eye on the future as well.
Gatte ki sabzi: Seriously, the director had to mention it, otherwise how would the audience understand that they are watching a story set in Rajasthan.
The English patient: The common Indian's understanding of English as an elite language has been showcased perfectly in 'Shuddh Desi Romance'.
