Jalebi Story: An estranged couple happen to meet on a train journey where they independently reflect on what went wrong in their relationship and whether they will truly be able to move forward and start a new chapter, together or alone.
Jalebi Review: Unrequited love is the strongest kind of love, is what debutant filmmaker Pushpdeep Bhardwaj is trying to tell the viewers through this love story. A remake of a hit Bengali film, 'Jalebi'tells the story of Aisha ( Rhea Chakraborty) and Dev ( Varun Mitra) . A carefree student, Aisha ends up marrying a local guide-type boy next door, Dev. Turns out Aisha is not really cut out for marriage or for living with Dev and his family in their haveli in Old Delhi.
The film is told in flashbacks which happen over a train journey from Mumbai to Delhi where the two protagonists meet and reflect over their lives. The problem is that Dev is with his current wife ( Digangna Suryavanshi and daughter on the train. Because a train has other passengers, we get to see other characters, none of whom contribute in any way to the film’s story or to the stories of the central characters.
