DIRECTION: Manish Harishankar
The beginning of this movie is not good. Laali (Akshara Haasan) is getting married to prince Veer (Gurmeet Choudhary) and she is pregnant with Laddoo’s (Vivaan Shah) child. Laddoo is tying the knot at the same venue too. His wife-to-be soon starts boring everyone with moral lectures about “doing the right thing” and confessing to Veer.
It’s just the normal story of how Laali met Laddoo. You’re now put through a meet-cute punctuated by a background score that arm-twists you into feeling something, a few white lies, songs in Kashmir because why not, and a love story sponsored by dollar-shop goodies (red teddy bears included).
But hang on, these were the sane parts of the movie. Soon, a very strangely chauvinistic Laddoo asks Laali to not complain about her boss’ sexual advances. Laddoo’s parents disown him for being an imbecile but Laali’s parents take him in, overlooking the fact that he betrayed their pregnant daughter. And then comes Veer, a golf-playing, horse-riding muscleman prince, whose royal priest asks him to only marry a heavily pregnant girl for good luck. Can you feel your palm going to your forehead?
Akshara and Vivaan deliver embarrassingly over-the-top performances. Sanjay Mishra plays the same odd character which he routinely does now, The film is structured so that you connect all the dots within half an hour and are then left with a whole lot nothing to look forward to.
The movie is not good and boring. Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laaddoo Deewana is a kind of scientific experiment and would not recommend to anyone...Its a poor movie.
