The Film Promotion Campaign of Shudh Desi Romance promised
to deliver a path breaking &bold perspective on youth romance. It did
fulfill the promise, not the movie. Had the film been a little more mature and
a little less wannabe, it could have helped the campaign pull off more audiences.
The film tries to make sex de rigueur for couples who are dating. One wonders
what makes the film analysts feel that the female lead characters are ‘new age’
and ‘bold’. Female emancipation is as much determined by factors like her
financial & social independence as her free will to have sex and definitely
not by her being a chained smoker.

As far as the film plot goes, one doesn’t understand when,
how and why the lead characters fall in love. It is also hard to digest how
such self proclaimed emancipated women fall for some lukha who does nothing, occasionally turning into a salesboy
(probably freelancing whenever the situation demands for the dialogues) who
sells dupattas to some fictitious
dumb phirangs. By the way, foreigners are much smarter and know as much about
the location as the locals. The lead pair commits to a live in then run for
marriage then run from marriage. It is fine to experience the drama once but
when the same situation plays like a loop music, you are definitely offending
the audience’s patience. When a fine actor like Rishi Kapoor starts pestering a
young boy and girl, aged merely 7-8 years whether will they marry or not, you are
sure such antics are not a part of either desi or urban nuances and are a part
to create deliberate comedy (even slapsticks are better than this).

When Shudh Desi Romance became the main sponsor for one of
the college events, the little FYJC somethings were compelled to feel that it
is ‘cool’ to sleep on the dates otherwise they are a little outdated. It is as
much ‘cool’ to refuse advances as to accept them depending upon your beliefs
and preferences. Sleeping with someone is a personal choice, unless you are
comfortable with one another, no amount of branding of sex through movies,
products or peer pressure should be able to influence your decision.
