A Rajshri film means plentiful songs, enough family drama, utopian world of family values, well-brought up bahu-betis, marriage ceremonies, etc. However, their latest venture LOVE U MR. KALAKAAR is minus the above mentioned factors.
For the first time we come across a Rajshri film which is not confined to a family drama, rather goes beyond it. As the love story is setup in the backdrop of corporate world. Nevertheless you won't miss the quintessential Rajshri's style the sweet mannerisms, saccharine characters and rich emotions, simplicity, affirmative attitude, etc.The film depicts an artist's struggle to win his ladylove. Tushar Kapoor As Sahil is a Down To Earth, Oh-So honest, Gullible, Simple Living, Hand-To-Mouth earning Cartoonist Artist who lives in a bubble, refusing to seriously confront any real worries, expectations and burdens in his life.
On the other hand; Amrita Rao As Ritu - A management trainee belonging to an affluent family is Smart, Feisty and Loving, whose world revolves around debits, credits, turnovers, profits, deadlines.
Like true lovers, Ritu and Sahil take on the Agni Pariksha. But will Sahil be able to adapt to the heartless corporate world for his lady love is what follows. The pace of the film appears too slow in the first hour almost testing the audience's patience. It's post the intermission the narrative truly picks up & saves the dull first half and makes the fare exciting enough.The entire office drama is nicely done. Also, when Ritu teaches management and business fundas to her lover Sahil in her arty language is quite inspiring and interesting.
There are enough weak points in this outdated script and certain characters in the film are also not developed as they were introduced in the film, like that of general manager Manohar Awasthi, who aspires to be a Managing Director and Ritu's childhood friend Aman Malhotra.
S. Manasvi's direction is as bland as his script. The film has no highs or lows, moving at one level throughout. Thankfully, the film isn't loaded with copious songs like other Rajshri films. The music is dull and songs also create no impact. However the dialogues are impressive at certain points.
This Kalakaar is ordinary and has nothing much to paint !!!
