Qarib Qarib Single
Verdict: QQS is about making yourself happy watching romance, comedy, little
drama and lots of laughter in quirky style through a beautiful road trip. Irfan
Khan at his best yet again.
It’s a conventionally unconventional movie. With all the
story telling this year like Bareily ki Barfi, Shubh Mangal Savdhan etc this
movie is a good story telling. The first half of the movie is excellent, the story flows smoothly like water, phrases and depiction of a single woman Jaya
Played by Parvathi in 30s single (widow) with a good career living life in need
of a companion with just a younger brother studying in a foreign university as
family. She is controlled by false sense of proprietary to lead a single life
as a widow under society scrutiny. Finally upon dramatic insistence from her
friend’s speech of her turning into a revirgin dwells into online dating site
to find a good companion from the cluster of perverts. Jaya is drawn to Irfan
Khan urff Yogi’s online profile who’s hobby is poetry and has quite unique yet elusive
communication style. Upon meeting him she is intrigued by his idiosyncratic,
uncanny ways of life.
An off-hand
remark about Yogi’s ex-girlfriends turns into a road trip to meet all of them,
and Jaya finds herself tagging along. As they meet the women who made up Yogi’s
romantic past, Jaya finds herself drawn to this outlandish, whimsical man.
There are many discoveries along the journey for both the chracters- Jaya’s
unresolved issues with her friends, Yogi’s half-cooked romances – this is how
the story enhances to fun instances and jealousy the final nail to the head to comprehend
their heart’s feelings.
We are finally
watching these movies and this sort of content is finally up. This movie is all
about a tale of modern romance and is absolute pleasure to watch. The movie
does take you to wonderful places like Gangtok, Rishikesh, Dehradun, Jaipur etc.
Irfan is such a class actor that it will be a shame not to credit his acting
skills every single time. So more
reasons to watch this sweet and sour romantic soup of a movie.
