Do Lafzon Ki Kahani – movie review

Love never hurts… Love heals

  


Do Lafzon Ki Kahani, movie review

Do Lafzon ki Kahani is a mushy romantic fairytale idea of love, about sacrifice and depicts suffering for the sake of one’s beloved. It begins well yet it has flashes of the cinema of ‘90s

A romantic drama directed by Deepak Tijori is a remake of the 2011 Korean movie ‘Always’. Do Lafzon Ki Kahani features Randeep Hooda and Kajal Aggarwal in the lead roles.

A gifted actor that he is Randeep Hooda comes up with yet another powerful performance. He is equally balanced by Kajal Aggarwal’s acting as a girl who has lost her vision in an accident where she loses her parents. Jenny has an inclination towards Indian culture so much so that she is is obsessed with the regular ‘saas bahu’ type serials.

Suraj (Randeep Hooda) is a part-time boxer in Malaysia. Jenny (Aggarwal) is a blind girl, on meeting whom Suraj falls in love with. When he comes to know that the reason for her blindness in he himself, he decides to have her operated.

Suraj is shown working three shifts a day yet unclear for whom, quite surprising because till then he is shown aimless in life. But as the film proceeds, he is shown in flashbacks that he was a trained martial arts fighter for a club who deliberately loses the biggest bout of his life to save his opponent’s child who has to undergo surgery, only to realize later on that he has been emotionally cheated.

He falls in love with Jenny who is a single girl, and they form a pact never to leave one another in their lifetime.

Yet circumstances unfold in such a way that Suraj has to leave Jenny not before arranging for the huge amount needed for her eye operation for which the cornea has to be imported from the US. For this, he manages the funds on the condition to fight the last bout of his life.

The film is shot entirely on locations in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and India. In parts, it is engrossing and otherwise the story drags endlessly.

There are five to six songs in the films and all are in the background. There are moments where one feels for the boxer as well as the girl, still the narrative appears superficial.

It passes of as one of the many so called mediocre Bollywood remakes of a foreign film.
