Radhika Anand’s story is promising and will have translated right into a path-breaking movie. Radhika Anand’s screenplay, nonetheless, is a blended bag. Whereas some scenes are very impactful and entertaining, a number of of them might have been penned in a greater method. Radhika Anand and Prashasti Singh’s dialogues are too humorous however solely in choose locations. A personality at first remarks that she attains orgasm just by her scorching physique. This dialogue will deliver the home down and ideally, the movie ought to have been replete with such one-liners from begin to end.
Karan Boolani’s path is respectable. To present credit score the place it is due, he touches upon some necessary subjects like childhood traumas, girls being shamed for dwelling life on their phrases, girls being shamed by different girls, nearly all of girls not experiencing orgasm ever and so forth. As a substitute of getting preachy, he makes use of humour and a few touching scenes to convey the message. Furthermore, the plot is outrageous and one does get intrigued particularly when Kanika begins her mission to seek out out who she slept with on her engagement.
On the flipside, the movie strikes too rapidly and doesn’t let the characters develop organically. Kanika’s determination to marry Jeevan appears sudden. Furthermore, it’s bewildering that the makers by no means present what Kanika and her pals do for a dwelling. Skilled achievements are additionally necessary for girls. However the girls within the movie usually are not specializing in it in any respect. The humour is proscribed and furthermore, the finale on the faculty is kind of foolish.
Thank You For Coming | Official Trailer | Bhumi Pednekar | Shehnaaz Gill
Talking of performances, Bhumi Pednekar performs the character with aplomb. For an actor who performed these semi-urban and rural characters, it may be difficult to crack an element that’s so drastically completely different. Bhumi, nonetheless, comes out with flying colors. Dolly Singh and Shibani Bedi lend ready assist. Pradhuman Singh is unrecognizable and does effectively. Natasha Rastogi is beautiful and Dolly Ahluwalia is reliable, as anticipated. Shehnaaz Gill is entertaining however is hardly there. Kusha Kapila (Neha) is wasted. Gautmik (Karan; Pallavi’s husband) and Saloni Daini (Rania Das; Tina’s daughter) go away a mark. Sushant Divgikar is kind of good and has a high quality display presence. Karan Kundrra is okay. Anil Kapoor is great in a cameo.
Songs are well-woven into the narrative. ‘Desi Wine’ works the perfect adopted by ‘Pari Hoon Foremost’, ‘Haanji’ and ‘Baaraat’. Not one of the songs, nonetheless, are of the chartbuster selection. Aman Pant’s background rating is practical.
Anil Mehta’s cinematography is neat. Manisha Melwani and Devanshi Tuli’s styling is among the highlights of the movie. Disha Dey’s manufacturing design is real looking. Shweta Venkat Mathew and Manan Sagar’s modifying is just too sharp.
On the entire, THANK YOU FOR COMING is a progressive movie that raises some necessary subjects, has its share of entertaining scenes, and delivers a shock worth. Nevertheless it suffers on account of the script, restricted humour, and foolish climax. On the field workplace, the lack of expertise will show detrimental to its enterprise, and will probably be appreciated solely by a tiny part of the multiplex viewers.
