Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety Movie Reviews

Tongue lodged firmly in cheek, Luv Ranjan’s bromance-versus-romance tale has enough bite to make it one of the most invigorating rom-coms in recent times.

Despite the odds, this bromance vs romance comedy works as an exciting guessing game to predict who’ll end up as the third wheel — best friend or girlfriend? This means war.

This is not Pyaar Ka Punchnama but is as entertaining following a similar concept. One entertaining ride with superlative performances by the leading stars as well as supporting cast. Watch this go PURE 24K ENTERTAINMENT!

Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety is a non-stop entertainer that can be described as the perfect follow up to Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2. The film not only fulfills expectations but even surpasses them. Yes, it is predictable, defies logic, and appears a bit clichéd at times, but it is great fun nonetheless! While Kartik Aaryan and Nushrat Bharucha are yet again superb in their roles, the real surprise comes from Alok Nath and Virendra Saxena who play super-cool oldies with attitudes to die for. Credit to Luv Ranjan and team for delivering yet another fun-filled extravaganza!  

It is an outstanding example of putting up an exceptional team show. Every actor played their part seemingly well but what stands out in our heart is Kartik Aaryan and Alok Nath’s chemistry ruling the movie by the end. Kartik sweetly calling Alok Nath ‘ghasitey’ is all that we loved. Well if you loved the ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama’ series, you will definitely love this one as well. And if you haven’t watched it, Go get a laugh riot ticket for this comedy flick. 

It could be easily be called as the third instalment of Punchnama series, but bromance brewing in it makes it a good watch this weekend. And if you are expecting something extraordinary then you may give it a miss, but might regret later!

The youth will connect with it and the ending will take you by surprise. One star only for the climax which combines emotion, drama and humour perfectly. A very rare instance to happen in a Bollywood film, watch the film only for that if nothing!   

‘Bromance or Romance’ is the underlying premise of the battle of the sexes film. Although it feels misogynistic to paint women the way they have in the film, it is so delightful and frothy and fun, you come away smiling. Are all girlfriends needy or plain manipulative? Will Sonu save his best friend Titu from his girl? What is true love? Do Punjabis drink and wed? The film is a tad too long, but has enough to make you finish gigantic popcorn tubs.

Though unlike “Pyaar Ka Punch-Nama 2” there is nothing that warrants a repeat watch (that film also had good music), this light entertainer is a one-time visit, even for those who may not exactly relish the end.

Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety provides some laughs, some of which escape involuntarily. But it also leaves you wondering. Can Ranjan grow up his callow characters? Of course, he can, because he has the smarts (remember Pyar Ka Punchnama?). Does he really want to? I’m not sure. Sharp comedy of the sexes is the hard stuff. Cheap laughs are easy.

Pedestrian wit works best around actors who don’t just go with the flow, but shape it to suit their comical timing. That’s the difference between performers and parrots.But the underwhelming leads of Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety don’t seem to know the difference at all.

Overall, the film is a great entertainer in the anti-women genre, but sadly for Ranjan, it is not a proper category yet and thus the film deserved to called a sexist, ‘eye-roll’ worthy ride which will leave you frustrated and angry by the end of it.

The one thing that worked for Pyaar Ka Punchnama films was the relatability, even if it was restricted to guys-only discussions. Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety doesn’t have that, nor is it funny.

The unfortunate part of Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety is that in small patches – especially in a scene in which Ishita Raj’s character Pihu is re-acquainted with Titu’s family – it shows a penchant for humour and good timing. Mostly though, this is a tacky, trite recycling of a recipe that has brought box-office success twice to this director. Why bother writing an original script when a photocopy machine is at hand?

It has plenty of laughs in the first half but suffers from the curse of the second half. If you swear by Luv Ranjan’s brand of comedy – Pyaar Ka Punchnama series – you will have a good time watching Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. Other than that don’t RSVP to this version of My Best Friend’s Wedding.

In short, if wife slandering jokes that you get on whatsapp are your thing, you would roll in laughter. Else maintain a safe distance from it.
