Ko Gaye Hum Kahan movie review: Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday, Adarsh Gurav Movies are by the Instagram generation, by the Instagram generation | Bollywood News
Somewhere in this movie, there is a line that is meant to be profound. “This is the digital age, lagta hai connected hain par shayad ine akere kabhi nahin thai” (This is the digital age. We feel connected, but we have never been so alone). These words are spoken with such seriousness that both the writer and the speaker think they are saying them for the first time. Or even if you’re repeating it, hit the right audience for PLU. And don’t be fooled by the widespread social media commentary. This is a movie by the Instagram generation, for the Instagram generation.
“Ko gay hum kahaan” It’s an extension of this statement of purpose, featuring a cast of witty young actors who are perfect for this world. They are stand-up comic Imad Ali (Siddhant Chaturvedi), content creator Ahana Singh (Ananya Panday), and her commitment-phobic boyfriend Jim. Neil Pereira (Adarsh Gurav), the rat;
My Mumbai-based best friend Imad Ahana Neel, who was thick as a thief since his school days, is now coming of age. At first, the two of them are flatmates, like the kind of close but platonic friends that are increasingly common in urban areas, zooming in and out of each other’s rooms and exchanging notes about failed dates. It’s something. Motherless and scarred, Imad is a tinder addict (yes, this is an actual line from the movie), a therapist, a guilt-ridden father, and an attractive older woman (Kalki Koechlin). ) is fluctuating between Ahana is desperate to get her boyfriend’s attention and her self-esteem is at risk, but she doesn’t care. Why isn’t he alone with her? Neil, who lives with his parents, is trying to figure out how to break out of the rut of middle-class life. Will his ‘workout selfie’ with Malaika Arora (in the scene where he plays himself) increase his ‘follower count’ and will it magically catapult him into the stratosphere? ?
It’s a pleasing ensemble to the eye, with the carefully and casually ruffled look and feel of a young man who speaks in a slightly staged mix of English and Hindi. Chaturvedi and Panday’s interactions have a bit of a meta feel to them, but it makes you think Panday could still be a real actor. In an IRL roundtable, he spoke about the privilege she and her ilk have in Bollywood. Now they’re here, sharing the screen, and it feels like the “n” word has been pushed out the window, at least when it comes to this movie. Gourav is as talented as ever.
As the name suggests, the film is basically an update to the Farhan-Zoya worldview that has given us confused young people learning to become adults (Dil Chahta Hai and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara). However, early children lived in a time when cell phones were not attached to their hands and they could have conversations without relying on digital crutches. These kids use their phones as friends, enemies, and bed warmers, seeking validation and connection minute by minute. It’s like watching this movie on your phone.
The post is clearly harmless. The jokes are light. You can scroll through the movie and stop at moments that try to add depth (though the scene where a so-called friend turns into a crude troll and reveals his classist ugliness is well-done); The same goes for the scenes where men do terrible things (the women in “Closing”), but they’re just “stories.” The rest feels like multiple reels crammed into her one area. Yes, there is joy, but it is temporary.
