#LukaChuppi is a funny and witty take on modern relationships with an entertaining plot


Movie Review: #LukaChuppi is the story of a couple living-in with their family. Superstar #NazimKhan(AbhinavShukla) gets into a controversy when it comes to light that he is living-in with his girlfriend and is unapologetic about it. The moral police come out in full force to protest against his 'indecent' act. One such organisation is Rashtriya Sanskriti Manch and in Mathura, it is led by #VishnuTrivedi(VinayPathak). His daughter is #Rashmi(KritiSanon) and she joins a local news channel after completing her media studies in Delhi. Here she bumps into #Guddu(KartikAaryan) and both fall in love. After a fight with his elder unmarried brother #Vikas(HimanshuKohli) and brother in law #Babulal(PankajTripathi), he decides to tie the knot ASAP. He proposes to #Rashmi.She however refuses to marry him so soon and insists on a live-in relationship.#Guddu obviously freaks out. However inspired by an idea given by their colleague #Abbas(AparshaktiKhurana), they decide to live in when they go on a 20-day assignment at Gwalior, where no one knows them. Hence they could live in without any fear. But in order to get the flat on rent, they pretend to be a married couple.Rashmi also has to go out wearing Mangalsutra and apply Sindoor. All is going well when Babulal catches them getting cosy in a public place. Assuming they are married, he tells his family about it and they all land up at their pad in Gwalior.#RohanShankar's story is novel and entertaining and different from other such films in this genre.#RohanShankar's screenplay is effective and witty.At some places however,it is a bit weak,especially in the first half.#RohanShankar's dialogues are funny. #LaxmanUtekar's direction is good.Post interval the film gets even better as #Guddu and #Rashmi pretend to be married when they are not.
#KartikAaryan once again is in a great form.His boyish looks work instantly but it’s his performance that makes it even more endearing.#KritiSanon has a fantastic screen presence and maintains a strong position.She also surprisingly shines in an important emotional sequence in the second half.#AparshaktiKhurana as always is dependable.#PankajTripathi’s humour seems forced initially but later, it’s him who raises the maximum laughs.#VinayPathak is a revelation.#HimanshuKohli is the surprise of the film and his character helps a lot in adding to the humour quotient in the film, especially post-interval. #VishwanathChatterjee(Guddu's brother Varun) and #NehaSaraf (Guddu's bhabhi Janki) also get a chance to make their presence felt.#Chiku (MasterSamarth) is adorable. #SapnaSand (MrsSrivastava) is good as the nosy neighbour in Gwalior. #AjitSingh(Srikanth) is irritating as #VishnuTrivedi’s sidekick but that was the idea as his character has a villainous tinge.#AtulSrivastav(Guddu’s father Badriprasad) and #AlkaAmin(Guddu’s mother Shakuntala) are decent.#KetanSodha's background score has a funny touch that instantly make the proceedings light-hearted.#MilindJog's cinematographer is average. #ManiniMishra's production design is satisfactory.#ManishPradhan's editing is appropriate.
Overall,#LukaChuppi is a witty and funny take on the modern relationships with an entertaining plot.
