Storyline

What happens when three young people in today's changing India try to figure out what love, attraction and commitment mean to each of them? Raghu (Shushant Singh Rajput) needs a woman in his life -the rest he's going to figure out along the way. Gayatri (Parineeti Chopra) has been around the block a few times and knows the scene, warts and all. Tara (Vaani Kapoor) knows what's right for her, but a little experimenting never did hurt anybody, did it? When their lives crisscross, their beliefs get challenged, and their loves, tested. We all want it all...the love, the sex, the relationship, the commitment. But when we get it, it may not be in the way we recognize.

User Reviews

Complicated love triangle which had potential but turned out to be an average entertainment. Watch it for Rishi Kapoor

There is a new trend of attracting audience in which Bollywood movies are set in typical North Indian style like Band Baja Baraat , Fukrey , BA Pass. Shudh Desi Romance is set in Jaipur exploring the wedding culture and tradition.

Shudh Desi Romance is about wedding jitters , commitment , instant- attraction and live-in-relationship between 3 people - Raghu, Gayatri and Tara.

From the fun-filled Band Baja Baraat and mediocre Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl, Maneesh Sharma presents you yet another love and attraction saga that explores the relationship and commitment. The story also challenges the mindset of Indian audience about accepting the live-in-relationship concept which is very much alive in society. The direction was good and few sequences were really remarkable. Apart from that, climax was unconvincing. It messed up so much that unnecessary extension of melodrama as to whom Raghu is going to get married will bore you. Screenplay falters and it goes down terribly. Editing could have been better. Art direction and cinematography is good. Music is mediocre. It is the performance of the film that should be lauded. Right from Sushant Singh , Pareenti Chopra , new bee Vandana Kapoor , veteran Rishi Kapoor were enthralling. It is difficult to highlight anyone in particular but Rishi Kapoor does it again. With age , he is re-inventing himself and that shows in the role he chooses. Overall , Shudh Desi Romance can be touted as one-time decent romantic complicated love triangle which had potential but turned out to be an average entertainment. Decent 2.5/5
