DREAM GIRL
Why do we reach out to other people? Why do men call anonymous women and pay for 'dirty' talk? Exploring a phenomenon that is quite common but rarely spoken about, Ayushmann Khurrana's “Dream Girl” is, above all things, a riot. Director Raj Shandaaliya who has seems to have found his strength: strong punchy dialogue mixed with a happening screenplay.
I won't be surprised if Dream Girl turns into a massive success. the film is going to strike gold for many reasons the first and the simplest reason is that Raj Shaandilyaa and writers Nirmaan D. Singh, Niket Pandey have turned a pretty unusual idea into a fun film.
Dream Girl is a modern irreverent tale that is not really social commentary but an enjoyable watch that sheds light on some pretty common social problems. It was terribly important for a film like Dream Girl to stay engaging because it was running the risk of being too preachy. Did it have the mandatory lecture at the end from the hero that ties all loose ends? Yeah. Was it cringe? No, except for the awkward hug between Ayushmann and Nushrat Bharucha. Despite its minor flaws, Dream Girl is a fun laughter package
You have Ayushmann Khurrana's impeccable comedic timing and Shaandilyaa's dialogue to thank for this. They create most of the magic. There’s a lot of gentle comedy but there’s also plenty of punches that land very well. The film could have also used a lot more of the insanely talented Vijay Raaz, who, despite getting a meaty enough role, fairly disappears in the second half of the film. Nushrat Bharucha’s character doesn’t have much to do and the biggest blank space was a gendered nuance missing to the 'lonely man' phenomena. After all, the plot follows these sex-deprived gentlemen who are calling late night ‘friendship’ hotlines, a tagline that elicits a ton of curiosity. It lends a lot to the message but not enough.
the filmmakers wanted to bring the audiences' attention to it - but they only end up making a generic commentary on how people don't take pictures of the 'family' but only take 'selfies'.
