Zara Hatke Zara Bachke

Zara Hatke Zara Bachke Review – Comedy Done Right, Drama Gone Wrong. Cinematographer turned director Laxman Utekar is back with another romantic, emotional family drama with Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, starring Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan. The film is a mix of multiple genres, such as romance, comedy, and family drama, and that’s why the writing seems misplaced. It’s a good subject to look at but a difficult one to explain. The logic is somewhat lost, and the comedy is too much for a grounded family film that is supposed to look real but ends up looking all fake. A similar subject of struggle for a new house was attempted in the Marathi movie One Room Kitchen, which beautifully explored the difference between high class society and middle class society and also defined the meaning of “home.”. What’s a home? It’s not about how big those four walls are or how many rooms it has; it’s about how many people can stay together under one roof who are close to you and how happy you are with them. Zara Hatke Zara Bachke has almost struck the chords on this sensitive topic, but somewhere it forgot to mention the main thing at the end. Yes, it has enough comedy but lacks sensible drama and smart writing.

Zara Hatke Zara Bachke starts off with the evergreen song Dekho Maine Dekha Hai Ye Ek Sapna, Phoolon Ke Sheher Me Ho Ghar Apna, which takes you back to the Love Story days of a sensational young couple. If you remember the situation of that couple in the film when the song plays, you relate to them, as you know it’s a runaway couple trying to establish their house somewhere in a remote place. Zara Hatke Zara Bachke has nothing of that sort. Kapil (Vicky Kaushal) and Saumya (Sara Ali Khan) are a married couple living in a joint family. Practically, it’s not a big family if you count the number of members, but still, it’s big for our so-called poor love birds. Not getting enough private space to do romance, Kapil and Saumya decide to buy a new house and shift there. However, it’s neither easy nor affordable. So, the couple try for a con-way by playing with a loophole in a government scheme of house. The rest of the plot shouldn’t be disclosed here to break the secrecy the makers carried for a long time.
