‘Loveyapa’ movie review: Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor toil in this shallow rom-com

‘Loveyapa’ movie review: Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor toil in this shallow rom-com

Smartphone is the new villain in love stories. Screenwriters looking for new obstacles for love birds have discovered social evils on the web. After Muddassar Aziz used phone swapping to generate humour in Khel Khel Main, director Advait Chandan recycles the Tamil hit Love Today to create a romantic comedy about the ill effects of social media and artificial intelligence on relationships in Loveyapa.

Baani (Khushi Kapoor) and Gaurav (Junaid Khan) feel their romance is transparent till Baani’s father Atul (Ashutosh Rana) asks them to swap their phones before they exchange vows. As the phones get unlocked, it opens Pandora’s chat box with the video libraries and vaults of phones revealing secrets that both are not ready to overlook.

Written by Sneha Desai, the film makes interesting observations on how the young generation is losing touch with reality and how there is a distinct difference in their online and offline character. In this game of choices, there is no gender divide. It also touches upon the issues of online fat shaming and the emerging scourge of deepfakes.

Loveyapa (Hindi)

Director: Advait Chandan

Cast: Junaid Khan, Khushi Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana, Grusha Kapoor, Kiku Sharda

Runtime: 137 minutes

Synopsis: Pushed by the girl’s father, when a couple exchange their phones, their relationship spirals into a crisis.

However, after setting the stage, Loveyapa comes across a skit bloated into a feature film with gaseous matter. It is like a video game with no second level and gradually reads like a visual essay on the ills of the internet. Ironically, the commentary on the emerging necessary evil in society uses the film to promote the latest model of a smartphone in the market.

Made for an audience that expresses its deepest emotions through ready-made emojis, the screenplay suffers from generation loss and a sense of ennui fills you after the popcorn break. One waits for the next box to be ticked followed by a few guffaws.

Both Junaid and Khushi are earnest in their performance but if screen presence is something casting directors look for, both have a long way to go. They lack the charm that could tide over the blanks in storytelling. Learning on the sets, Khushi carries a consistent smile and sounds like her sister Janhvi. Junaid is a work in progress and is perhaps better suited for intense roles. His eyes twinkle like his father Aamir Khan’s gaze in the second half but there is not much heft in the story to employ them.

As always, star kids bank on a strong support cast. Ashutosh Rana once again channelises his chaste Hindi to evoke awe. Grusha Kapoor and Kiku Sharda do the heavy lifting to accentuate the melodrama for those who love to drink new wine from the old bottle.
