Ginny Weds Sunny

“A layer of surface gloss, a cloak of amiability and a dash of gentle irreverence cling to Ginny Weds Sunny, a breezy rom-com just out on Netflix, like a gossamer wrapper, making it an easy film to watch. If only it did not opt to skim the surface of the complexities of new-age love, it might have turned into something infinitely more substantial than just mildly diverting entertainment. But in the bit that it puts on show, there is a considerable degree of competence.”

“Never underestimate the cunning of the cloying Punju parent or their offspring to see through their bluff. In Ginny Weds Sunny, whose title leaves little scope for spoilers or surprise, the business of matchmaking is once again at forefront driving a made-for-each-other couple’s meet cute, misunderstandings and marriage… If the ravishing Yami Gautam injects vivacity and vulnerability in her dilly-dallying Ginny, Vikrant Massey is absolutely smashing as the sweet-natured dunce who endears himself to her. Their chemistry exudes a warm fuzzy vibe.”

“West Delhi. Punjabi. Middle class. Rom-com. Keywords which lead you to the endless fascination Bollywood has for movies featuring ladka-ladki, mummyjis and daddyjis, gaana-bajaana, and shaadi-vyaah. But not every film hoovering up this template can be Band Baaja Baraat, can it?… Nothing wrong with the actors. It’s the pallid writing that lets them down.”

“This is that typical Dilli-NCR kinda Bollywood picture… In an ideal world, this project/picture, for a theatrical release, would’ve wished for some footfalls in the Delhi-UP territory. What’s it doing on Netflix? Because Netflix, you forget, is also a multi-genre, home multiplex/theatre. And that’s somewhat a relief. At least didn’t have to travel all the way to a real theatre to induce sleep. Did that happily in my own bed instead.”
