Dono Review 3.0/5 & Review Rating

Avnish S Barjatya‘s story is nothing particular. There’s hardly any storyline. Avnish S Barjatya and Manu Sharma’s screenplay is partaking and is peppered with candy and easy moments. However, the writing will get stretched after a degree. Avnish S Barjatya and Manu Sharma’s dialogues are devoid of any over-the-top one-liners and are very situational.

Avnish S Barjatya’s path is uncomplicated. He understands the technicalities like a professional, regardless of being a debutant director. Also, similar to the fashion of his father Sooraj Barjatya, his content material is devoid of any intimacy or violence. It’s a whole, clear household entertainer. The conditions within the movie are very relatable be it domination by a associate, the search to seek out closure, unrequited love, hypocrisy of the society involving womenfolk and so on. Also, the troubles and enjoyable related to a vacation spot marriage ceremony, particularly when it’s overseas, make for an excellent watch. Some characters and comical scenes just like the cricket match, Dev-Meghna’s assembly on the pani puri stall, and so on, add to the humour.

On the flipside, at 156 minutes, the movie is simply too prolonged. After a degree, it turns into tedious to sit down by means of the movie. Secondly, the monitor of Dev and his mother and father may be very unconvincing. It is unusual that Dev is assembly his mother and father after three years on the Thailand marriage ceremony. Yet, he’s not proven spending time with them. Some factual errors distract viewers. For occasion, Dev coolly says that he has a flight in 2 hours. Yet, he’s seated in his resort which is greater than an hour’s drive from the closest airport!

Both Rajveer Deol and Paloma look nice on display screen and have a tremendous presence. However, they should fine-tune their craft. Kanikka Kapur is respectable. Aditya Nanda performs his character with panache. Manik Papneja (Gopal aka Gappu) is great and raises loads of laughs. Poojan Chhabra (Vilas) additionally provides to the enjoyable. Rohan Khurana will get no scope. Sanjay Nath (Jagmohan; the groom’s father) is superb as the person who by no means smiles. Micky Makhija (Dilip Saraf)’s efficiency suffers as a result of writing. Mohit Chauhan (Ashok Jaisingh) leaves a mark to start with however in a while, he doesn’t have a lot to do. Tisca Chopra (Anjali Malhotra) hams. Varun Buddhadev (younger Dev) and Muskan Kalyani (younger Alina) are pretty.

Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s music doesn’t have a shelf life. The title music is probably the most memorable one. ‘Khamma Ghani’ is predicated on an fascinating thought. This is adopted by ‘Mann Mauji’, Khatt Mitthiyaan’, ‘Agg Lagdi’, ‘Lehenga Padd Gaya Mehenga’ and ‘Raangla’. George Joseph’s background rating has a cinematic, business really feel.

Chirantan Das’ cinematography is suitable. The locales of Thailand are well-shot. Sujeet Sawant and Sriram Iyengar’s manufacturing design is top-class. Terrence Lobo’s costumes are very glamorous, particularly those worn by the main actors. Shweta Venkat Mathew’s enhancing is weak. The movie may have been shorter by at the least quarter-hour.

On the entire, DONO is a clear household entertainer and works as a consequence of its simplicity, relatable goings-on and a few humorous and emotional moments. At the field workplace, it’ll want a robust phrase of mouth to draw its target market.
