After a long long time, here comes a bollywood movie that has no known actors and Bollywood actresses to steal the show, yet it is bound to make you LOL (I literally mean laugh out loud!).

The Plot

The movie portrays how guys suffer after falling in love, become puppets and puppies (yeah a dog literally with a dog-collar around them, as the title song suggests!), and do what their girlfriends say.

Well, the movie is crappy, but after all that’s what the concept is all about… To show what really happens in a so-called relationship & love story, after the romance, and the good part… (in short, the ugly part of the story).

Directed & Written by: Luv Ranjan

Star Cast: Kartikeya Tiwari, Rayo Bhakirta & Divyendu Sharma played the 3 guys, while Ishita Sharma, Nushrat Bharucha, and Sonalli Sehgal complemented them equally well; all have done a fantastic job, and played their roles to the fullest possible extent, but once again I’d say the movie is crappy and those who like the concept (perhaps most of the bachelors) would love it, and those who don’t, wouldn’t anyway give a damn to this review!

Producer: Abhishek Pathak

Before the movie was launched, folks were saying that it’s based on similar lines of American Pie, and would be just another sex-comedy, (and many reviewers have called it a sex-comedy), but to me, it was a young-at-heart story presented in contemporary style, and the much-needed masala, some cheap dialogues, but a strong message in it (not a big message to improve the society or help India become a super-power!), which I thought made it a worthy watch.

Anyway, coming to the story part, Kartik who plays Rajat, Divyendu who plays Liquid, and Raayo who plays Chaudhary, are 3 bachelors (you can call them 3-idiots too!) who’re stuck in their good old boring job, craving for girls to enter their lives, and change everything… And, this is precisely what really happens – Nushrat who plays Neha in the movie, meets Rajat, and they quickly move into a live-in, while Chaudhary finds Sonali who plays Riya, who hasn’t been able to come out of a 5-yr relationship with his ex Varun [Padam].

Liquid is basically a geek who is least interested to try his luck with women, but finds Ishita (who plays Charu in movie), her new colleague in office; and guess what she’s also committed to Abhijeet [Ravjeet], her long-distance bf.
Liquid starts loving Charu, while she basically uses him, and even after Charu turns down Liquid’s proposal, he continues to be her friend (and being used – of course!), and in the end realizes how big a fool, he really was!

Something similar happens to Chaudhary, as Sonali continues to be with her ex boy-friend, as well as with him, and keeps flirting around, saying that she needs her own “SPACE”.

Sonali’s ex comes and creates a mockery out of him in his office, but still he continues with her, only to discover that she sleeps with her ex again one fine day, and doesn’t really give a damn to it (saying it was just one more time, lol…)

Rajat’s love story also pretty soon turns into a tragedy as his gf starts eating his head almost every moment, doesn’t allow him to watch cricket match (like every other gf/wife), hang out with his friends, or basically anything that he wants to.

Even after his life becomes a living hell, Rajat continues to bear it all, meets Neha’s parents to talk about their future, and even when she becomes too much to bear, he moves on with her half-heartedly, being literally toyed by her (like the other two puppets).

The movie shows what literally happens to ALMOST every other committed guy! (how they bear their gf, and fail do a shit about it!) until the very end as Rajat dramatically leaves Neha, saying she’s “NOT WORTH IT”, and the movie unwinds to the climax with all three guys being SINGLE again (just like Dil toh Bachcha Hai Ji), and all the three girls find a puppy each for them to move on, and continue using the guys, as they always did (and just the way most of the girls do, in real life too!).

Basically, everything that is portrayed in the movie is straight out-of-real-life, and there’s no unrealistic filmy masala in Pyaar ka Punchnama! It takes you through the real life of a relationship, including some funny one-liner killer dialogues, some joyous moments, and some realistically serious notes.

The dialogues aren’t too filthy, and sound as though they’ve been dubbed straight from the minds of a normal guy (of course one who is not camera-conscious while he speaks). But, it’s not a family movie, and I’d strongly recommend that guys go to see it in a bunch of friends (group of only GUYS I mean!) to get the most out of it! (you can watch with gf/wife too, so long as she’s no old-school orthodox crappy person!)

Lengthier than Usual Bollywood Movies: I must say it was quite a long movie (more than 2.5hrs is indeed long!), and it got little stagnant after the intermission, but it never gets boring for sure. If it was little more crisp, then it would definitely been worth 5 star rating, but I’m still giving it a 4.5 star rating, because there’s no unrealistic B*S* in this movie, all the slangs have been beeped out, there are no unwanted item numbers, no LSD material, yet it delivers just what the doctor ordered!
