Satyaprem Ki Katha

Satyaprem Ki Katha Review: Veterans Supriya Pathak and Gajraj Rao give performances that are strikingly effective despite the odds. Wish one could say the same about Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani. Seeking to deliver a social message via a musical love story, Satyaprem Ki Katha, directed by Sameer Vidwans, makes an important point but not before it covers itself with a whole lot of froth. Moreover, it does not say anything that Mumbai films haven’t articulated in recent years. Satyaprem Ki Katha tries exceedingly hard, but largely in vain, to attain a balance between the need to provide entertainment and the urge to pontificate on a matter of undeniable import. The film swings wildly from comedy to melodrama, from facetiousness to solemnity, in an elusive search of the right blend.

The film’s two leads, Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani, are called upon to do most of the heavy lifting while supporting actors of the calibre of Supriya Pathak Kapur and Gajraj Rao are saddled with roles that are riddled with deleterious inconsistencies. The veterans give performances that are strikingly effective despite the odds.
