Details
Do Aur Do Pyaar (trans. Two and There to Love) is a 2024 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film directed by Shirsh Guha Thakurta and starring Sameer Nair, Deepak Segal, Tanuj Garg, Atul Kasbekar and Swati Iyer. were came Under the banner of Chawla Applause Entertainment and Ellipsis Entertainment Productions, it stars Vidya Balan, Prateek Gandhi, Ileana D'Cruz and Sendhil Ramamurthy.
Shirsha Guha Thakurta's romantic comedy Do Aur Do Pyaar turns the concept of infidelity on its head. It begins with Kavya (Vidya Balan) and Vikram (Sendhil Ramamurthy) visiting the sea-facing apartment they are planning to move into, and between Ani (Pratik Gandhi) and Nora (Ileana D'Cruz), a married couple. A fight ensues. As exits. . . . Only to lead to a scene where Ani and Kavya appear as husband and wife – sitting on opposite ends of the sofa having dinner, as the sound of a random wildlife documentary fills the silent void.
So does our culture equate marriage with so much sanctity that those who participate succumb to the pressure to perform? In Do Aur Do Pyaar, Kavya marries Ani after running away from her conservative Tamil Brahmin household who dislikes her Bengali boyfriend. Accepting defeat after a failed marriage is not an option for her. Remember when Tabu's character runs away with her meat-eating boyfriend in Kamal Haasan's Chachi 420 (1998) - only to return home with her daughter after a failed marriage?
Assessing whether love is enough to sustain a relationship, the feud doesn't dwindle emotionally and the resolution seems safe, but director Srisha Guha Thakurta gets the pulse of an urban, upper-class relationship. Without straying into the Matrix or villainizing the partners, the film, drawn from a popular quote by American actor-writer Groucho Marx, examines the boundaries of marriage as an institution with a light touch and a discerning eye. As the narrative flows, the sexual energy between the characters becomes infectious and the emotional flow feels believable.
Bangla boy Ani Banerjee (Pratik Gandhi) and Tamil girl Kavya (Vidya Balan) are in the midst of their love marriage. They spend the night in the same bed but they are no longer physically hostile because their emotional wavelength is higher than Crest's. They have also stopped fighting each other. Well, both have found love and physical intimacy outside. Ani is dating budding actress Nora (Ileana D'Cruz) and Kavya has become the muse of hotshot photographer Vikram (Sendhil Ramamurthy).
The soundtrack is composed by Lost Stories (DJ), The Local Train, Subhajit Mukherjee, Abhishek-Ananya and When Chai Met Toast. Lyrics are written by Kunal Verma, Paras Thakur (The Local Train), Trina Mukherjee, Manoj Yadav, Ankur Tiwari, Abhiruchi Chand, Azazul Haque, Subhajit Mukherjee.
