The director duo of Harish Kotian & Sandeep Choudhary have left no stone unturned and tried to pull all the stops in serving a recipe of a full on entertainment in Love Day. But in doing so they have gone desi as well as videsi by drawing a full on inspiration from videsi films like The Hangover & American Pie to name just 2 & a straight on desi film like 3 Idiots. Keep it up 2 idiots!!! Oops sorry Mr. Harish Kotian & Mr. Sandeep Choudhary.
The scripted scenario of Love Day (Oh! What a tongue in cheek title!!!) kicks off with Sandy (Sahil Anand) & Harry (Harsh Nagar) receiving a message from their long lost Best Friend Monty (Ajaz Khan). The boys get nostalgic and then you’re introduced to their sex-charged & vice driven childhood followed by an equally depraved young adulthood. The idea is that Monty always corrupts Sandy & Harry and makes them do things they shouldn’t. They turn their college labs into brothels & canteen into a bar. When water crosses the mark, Sandy & Harry distance themselves from their dangerously inclined Best Friend Monty. But when Monty sends for them again, many years later, they take up the bait and set out on another adventure, thinking that this time they might at least get some hard cash to finance their film.
Director duo of Harish Kotian & Sandeep Choudhary have done a good job & also made good use of their hand in glove directorial skills. But too many twists & turns in the plot from “The Start” till “The End” puts a dampener in an otherwise smooth proceedings. But their purpose of serving a perfect entertainment recipe is fulfilled. And towards this end both the cast & the crew deserves a full on compliment. The entire team of music composers of the film have done a decent job too.
Performance wise it is all the 3 actors like Ajaz Khan, Sahil Anand & above all Harsh Nagar who walk away with all the honors. They complement each other bang on throughout the movie with their camaraderie act, their flawless chemistry including their perfect timings in all the scenes in which they appear together. In fact their on screen bonding itself is seen to be believed. While the supporting cast have also lent an adequate support.
Tail Piece: Gen X will just love & lap up this double entendre fest of Love Day, that is if they don’t mind a hotch potch of masala movie trappings. So all in all Love Day does have the audacity to engage & entertain.
