Shuddh Desi Romance Movie Review-Verdict:
Though Shuddh Desi Romance is entertaining per se, it drags a bit and takes a roundabout way to make its point.

Shuddh Desi Romance Movie Review-Story Plot:
Raghu (Sushant Singh Rajput) is a tour guide in Jaipur, who connects with Gayatri (Parineeti Chopra) and runs away from the wedding hall on the day of his marriage to Tara (Vaani Kapoor).
Raghu (Sushant Singh Rajput) is a tour guide in Jaipur, who connects with Gayatri (Parineeti Chopra) and runs away from the wedding hall on the day of his marriage to Tara (Vaani Kapoor).
When Raghu and Gayatri bump into each other after some days, they give in to the mutual attraction and thus begins a ‘no strings attached’ relationship, that might soon develop into something stronger.
When Raghu and Gayatri decide to tie the knot, it is Gayatri, who does a ‘Runaway Bride’ this time, leaving Raghu heart-broken and confused. At this juncture, he comes across Tara and ostensibly develops feelings for her, which are fuelled by his guilt for having dumped her at the altar.
What happens next? Do the youngsters make up their minds? Watch the movie to find out…
Shuddh Desi Romance Movie Review-Performances:
Sushant Singh Rajput, who made his Bollywood debut with Kai Po Che!, impresses us once again with his portrayal of the confused Indian youth. His street-smart yet emotionally vulnerable Raghu will win your hearts and we hope to see the young actor in many more movies in the future. Parineeti does a good job too, though her ‘North Indian kudi’ persona is something that we have seen again and again. Vaani Kapoor looks pleasant enough, though she is unable to match up with Rajput and Chopra as far as the acting department is concerned. The veteran Rishi Kapoor is the one, who elicits the most claps for his role of the marriage organizer Goyal, who also doubles up as agony uncle for the lead characters. The rest of the cast performs admirably too, especially the guy, who plays the ‘fake baraati’.

Shuddh Desi Romance Movie Review-Direction:
Maneesh Sharma and Jaideep Sahni team up to offer this delightful take on the confusion of youth and their ‘fundas’ about relationships. Unlike other love stories, which deal with the purity of relationships, this flick is clever enough to show the insecurity and fear of loss behind every love story. However, on the flip side, the film doesn’t make sense at times. The whole reluctance about getting married and the subsequent running away would have been justified had the characters been pressurized by their parents or relatives to tie the knot. In this case, both Raghu and Gayatri themselves seem enthusiastic about getting married and then end up doing a runner…twice! Moreover, the second half might be a dampener, as it ends up being repetitive and one wished the makers would have not taken so much time to make one point. However, all said and done, the film is youthful, breezy and light, which should make for a pleasant viewing.

Shuddh Desi Romance Movie Review-Music:
With songs such as the romantic Gulabi, the mischievous Chanchal mann…ati random, the breezy Tere mere beech main and the fun-filled title track, SDR is a treat for everyone, as far as music is concerned!
