14 Phere follows the story of a couple in love and wish to get married except that they are from a different caste. Thus they hatch a plan with the help of fake parents to eventually get married. Do they succeed? The story is light and frothy though not very novel. Every once in a while I must admit I enjoy these massy light and frothy entertainers. These are like my comfort food where I don’t need to analyse the film much, rather just sit back and enjoy. But the screenplay has to be engaging. And here, the screenplay is decently well penned. The mood of the drama is set well with a love story blooming only to stumble on the roadblock, in this case the family. Both the families are well depicted too though nothing very unusual. The fun begins when the couple hire fake parents who are designated duties to be parents on both sides. You will find yourself engaged and will also chuckle at the bufoonary on display. The second half though dips slightly although not enough to wreck it completely. But the grip on the narrative definitely loosens up culminating into a lukewarm and predictable climax. Maybe the route taken in the second half could have been explored a little more. But overall a watchable screenplay for sure.
