Deepika Padukone's " Gehraiyaan " Movie Review .

" Gehraiyaan "  is  hindi language romantic drama film directed by Shakun Batra who also wrote the script with Sumit Roy ,Ayesha Devitre and Yash Sahai .

The film stars Deepika Padukone, Siddhant Chaturvedi ,Ananya Panday ,Dhariya Karwa, Naseeruddin Shah and Rajat Kapoor in lead roles .

A Total Masala film with a Love triangle at heart ,with layers of  greed ,ego and revenge .However a great plot is ruined by insipid and unimaginative story telling .

The film is jointly produced by Dharma Productions ,Viacom 18 Studios and Jouska films . 

Alisha Khanna ( Deepika Padukone) 30 ambitious ,now finds herself at a crossroads in life .Her 6 year long relationship has grown monotonous ,her career seems to be hitting a lot of roadblocks and just when she had begun to accept this reality as un changeable ,her life is usurped by the arrival of her cousin ,Tia Khanna ( Ananya Panday)  and her fiance Zain Siddiqui ( Siddhant Chatturvedi) , with whom she bonds over a troubled past and a common wish to break from its confines .

The story charts the journey of Alisha Khanna and Zain Siddiqui, as they confront the ghosts of their past on the path they take to avoid it .

The film is streaming on: Amazon Prime Video.

The cinematography and sound also play a significant part in the film's subtly dramatic canvas. Scenes are designed with a lot of pauses and silences ,which are for us to interpret and grasp .

Deepika Padukone delivers some heart wrenching moments without batting an eye .

Rating : 3.5 /5.
