Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui is the story of a 30 year old body builder who soon falls in love with a pretty girl, until a revelation turns his life upside down. Many of you might be aware of the twist. However, for the sake of the others I will be keeping the spoilers under wraps and only hinting at it in tiny little bits. The story is quite refreshing and well intentioned. You need to keep in mind that this is in the commercial space and so you won’t get a slow and poignant take on this delicate topic. And the good part is that the film does not pretend to be that as well. The screenplay starts off on a frivolous and frothy note with love blossoming between the two protagonists. The writers did hint on the lurking revelation that finally takes place at the halfway mark. By that time, you have already invested well on the two protagonists. They are two individuals with distinct qualities which cannot be ignored. The thing I was skeptical about was the portrayal of the actual issue. I hoped that it wasn’t treated in a frivolous manner and yet it needed to be entertaining thereby staying true to the genre. And that is when Abhishek Kapoor starts weaving his magic through the second half. There are several heartfelt moments that convey the eventual message efficiently. One criticism that I had was that the transition of the “Change of Heart” felt a tad too cliched and wasn’t quite seamless. But the drama does end on a satisfactory note. In other words, the screenplay was a sweet and refreshing take on acceptance.
