Never too late to find love
Qarib Qarib Single (Just About Single)
Finally, a realistic rom-com that does not follow the formulae of mainstream Bollwood! Yes!
Do not be put off by the tag 'rom-com', though. Because this charming tale woven by Tanuja Chandra and beautifully enacted by a terrific Parvathy and Irrfan, is more than that. Speckled with light-hearted humour and anecdotes on life is a slice-of-life tale of revisiting the past and realizing the unexpected ways in which the heart(and the internet, for good measure) works. The endearing storyline, which is on the lines of a Hollywood romance flick (in its unconventionality), and yet sticking to subtleties, is complemented by a good soundtrack. My favourites are Tanha Beegum and Tu Chale Toh.
While Parvathy looks terrific in playing the part of Jaya,a modern-day widow, Irrfan effortlessly portrays Yogi, an old-world gentleman who is full of surprises and takes Jaya on a life-changing journey. Again, what is that magic in journeys??
No one would suspect this to be Parvathy's debut Hindi film once it begins. Irrfan, for his part, is ever the director's actor!
I absolutely love it when unconventional films like these are lapped up by the audience!
The fresh pairing of Irrfan and Parvathy is a winner, reminiscent of Piku.
