I miss him already. So so much. In such an average film, he outdid my expectations yet again with his flawless performance, Irfan ji, you are Gold. A gold that will shine till the end of time.

Sekilas ngingatin sama Mantan (2017), karena sama-sama tentang 'mengunjungi' mantan. Samanya itu aja sih. Selebihnya beda banget hehe.
Terus film ini juga lebih bagus daripada Mantan. Tentang liburan sama orang yang dikenal dari aplikasi kencan. Tentang dua orang yang kepribadiannya bertolak belakang. Tentang Jaya (Parvathy Thiruvothu) dan Yogi (Irrfan Khan) yang mengakhiri film ini dengan manis. Tanpa banyak kata.
Ngeliat Yogi, aku jadi mikir memang bener kalau ada yang bilang nggak semua cowok di Tinder itu mau enak-enak doang. Mungkin. Aku nggak pernah main Tinder sih hehe. Yang jelas, cowok nggak bisa dibilang, "Semua cowok sama aja!" Nggak bisa.

(103rd film of 2021)
Trying to pull out the one grey hair
Crying while driving back from a function you posed a happy look
Forgetting medicines and facepalms
Looking envious at the couples
Using laptop and mobile simultaneously in the kitchen and letting the food burn
Eating alone in the office
Stress eating in midnight immediately after crying into pulps
Trying to hit the mosquitoes with the bat and fail at it
Dress up in loose fit yet hold it back only to worry about the big belly fat
Sitting in one full seat in SUHASANA(!!!) in an airport and eating junk carefree
Calling someone and asking them what they want, forgetting you are the one who called
Being suspicious…

Knowing Parvathy from her Malayalam and Tamil outings (Take Off, Poo, Bangalore Days, Maryan), her multi-layered acting prowess wasn’t surprising in this sweet, little but flawed ambitious film.
Her dubbing and ‘looking into the fourth wall’ acts were also easy to warm up to. What was surprising was her ability to give Irrfan Khan an almost-run (literally) for such crackling screen presence. I think it’s high time Bollywood wakes up to such women - outside templatish looks: bony cheeks & pouts and rely on a purposeful mix of acting talent and grace (although I wish they had left her curls as is).
Yes, we’ve seen Khan do such gypsy/philosopher/brooding shaayar roles previously, but I think more than the boring predictability that’s anticipated, it’s…

Nemu jackpot film India yang ga pake joged hee....
Bajunya Jaya culucu, pingiiinnn...
Ini termasuk film yang ngandalin eksotisme pariwisatanya India sih, yang diliatin bandara dan hotelnya pun yang bagus-bagus. Jadi kalo mau potret realistis India, pasti ga dapet, tapi dari sini gw belajar bahwa Sikkim itu orangnya udah Nepal/Mongoloid gitu.
Sebenernya sih plot-wise agak aneh juga. Gw ga mengerti impulsivitasnya Jaya yang mau aja ikut pergi sama Yogi. Udah gitu, walau di akhir mereka kayaknya bersama, ga dipampangin secara jelas titik balik yang bikin mereka tobat dari para mantan. Cuman Yogi paling, tapi gw ga dapet rasa yang sama dari Jaya. Failnya di situ sih film ini.Dan karakternya Yogi yang annoying banget karena ngomong mulu, tapi karena ada Irrfan, jadi gw maafkan dan kasih skor 7.

Irrfan Khan softly speaking to his abandoned suitcase got me 🥺 This film is like a bottomless plate of comfort food. Something about the calm, yet excitable Viyogi is absolutely 💖 At the same time, I love how realistic Jaya’s reaction is, while not breaking the whims of the rom-com genre. I just had a massive smile on my face for almost the entire run-time — there’s also a reference to DDLJ that was kind flipped on its head and I am living for it.

Well, the movie is a memorable journey that will make your day. No over hyped drama, no glamorous dolls but a perfect blend of emotions will keep you attached with the trip till it finishes off. Ehe.

Finished this film somehow after turning the film off in the middle about 7-8 times over one and a half year. One complete star for Irrfan's beautiful...BEAUTIFUL presence and half a star for Atif Aslam for making the film tolerable for 3 minutes. Never thought Parvathy would be a pain to watch. AND WHAT'S WITH THE DOUBLE L IN THE TITLE?!
Also, I love you, Irrfan!❤️
